I don't care what you personally want in a country with 100M+ voters. I generally want the same end goal, for what it's worth. I'm asking whether you're that confident that >=50% of the voting population will give the Democratic Party their support to pass an immediate, significant restructuring of our healthcare system when faced with real world upsides/downsides. And if you're not 100% confident, which seems reasonable enough given 2010 elections following Obamacare, whether there are other acceptable incremental approaches you'd accept that could eventually get to the same end goal with broader popular support.

For example, lowering Medicare age to 50 or 40. Again, not saying that's my policy or moral ideal but I'd argue the majority of the population and even Democrats do not hold your "gently caress capital" stances in 2018.

And they don�t do anything that people actually like when they have power because they think exactly like kingnasty and believe their constituents don�t actually want nice things

The electorate's distaste for actual socialist policy is a myth created by the neo-libs and sold via the New York Times and Washington Post. It has no basis in fact or reality, and has never been more than a grift for their donors. 2016 proved this conclusively, and it's only going to get clearer.

As long as these anemic puddles of jellyfish poo poo continue toting pencils to gun fights they're just gonna continue to get slaughtered.

Obama won because he was an incredibly charismatic politician. The results of the 2016 election show precisely how well Obama's agenda ran without Obama to sell it.

poo poo like American imperialism and income equality are just low hanging fruit, it's obvious to anyone with half a brain. The idea that white supremacists might build a coherent platform out of wealth redistribution, dismantling the military industrial complex, and making it where people can see a loving doctor should be keeping anyone who lives in the US and isn't white awake at nights.

I also didn't quite agree with the Biden analysis. I think Biden should be attacked on both the "he's a creep" and "he's a horrible politician with bad policies and a terrible record" fronts. Like they said themselves Biden's shine is from his two terms as Obama's VP - and you can't really fight that kind of appeal with policy arguments.

And even if the voters don't care, if the consultant class does, that may matter in a primary. He has not officially announced yet. What if he or his advisors decide it's not worth the risk exactly because the lid of that Pandora's box is already opening?

As a bonus, the Anita Hill stuff is a double whammy of misogyny and bad politics.

it'd almost be worth biden getting the nomination just to see the look on al franken's face

I don't know what purpose an abstraction like GDP serves in a socialist mode of production.

Probably not much at all; gotta ram it into people's skulls that "Does this generate profit?" Is not a worthwhile consideration of a wide swathe of social goods.

Economics was like psychology, a pseudoscience trying to hide that fact with intense theoretical hyperelaboration. And gross domestic product was one of those unfortunate measurement concepts, like inches or the British thermal unit, that ought to have been retired long before.
