abortion is like, 1/4 "free abortion with your next oil change," 1/4 "you should really be careful about that but go ahead," 1/4 "only in the case of rape or incest. only. no other times," and 1/4 "kill anyone who thinks about killing a baby"

replacing pelosi seems more like a "we keep dealing with failing centrists and we're going to try and find another applecart to turn until there's fruit on the road," which is fair, i think. keep holding feet to the fire so corporatists get the picture.

the trick is to have an internal civil war where you primary literally every single candidate. then when there is only one person left standing, they are probably the strongest person to win.

of course, that assumes open and fair primaries lol

In the age known then as "The End of History", the land was ruled by a King and Queen.
The Queen was incredibly ambitious, and looked forward to the day she would rule alone.
"I will craft the most perfect plot, and my ascendancy will be an inevitability.
"And though my foes will see it coming, they will be powerless to stop it."

When the King passed, the Queen moved her court to a great island citadel.
There she marshaled her forces, though she ignored the troubles of her kingdom.
When all was ready, her great and splendid host marched from her stronghold,
Only to be wiped out in a cornfield by a half-drow Warlord.

The Warlord desired unity, and made the Queen his advisor.
Biting her tongue, the Queen convinced the Warlord that she should be restored to the throne.
In time, her forces were restored, with the singular goal of achieving this one goal.
It was this dedication that allowed her army to barely bring the quarrelsome people to heel.

"At last!" she exclaimed, breaking a pane of glass to commemorate her final triumph to come.
"It is my turn to rule, and all signs point to ultimate victory.
"The people will love and cherish my reign of reason and enlightenment."
Those were her last words as she was decapitated by a red hat.

theres no way she didnt see george clooney sell his tequila company for 1b and go "i want in on that"

the drug company donations are the worst, bc while docs would have to adjust to universal rates (and are somewhat used to it bc of medicaid, medicare and insurers setting their rates already), pharma knows it's gonna have to bite it if single-payer ever passes at the state level.

lobbying the government has an absurdly high ROI. it's amazing for how cheap government officials go. the amount of corporate money that goes into elections is tiiiiny compared to the influence it buys.

house members of both parties spend a majority of their working day fundraising from the wealthy

see like, if someone wanted to bribe me, id probably do it for like, at least a million and some swag

the issue is like, there's a race to the bottom when it comes to bribery too. wow, even congressional bribes are going down under capitalism. next then you know john mccain will kill all the poors for a cuban sandwich.

single payer would be a huge boon for business which would no longer have to worry about contracting to offer insurance to employees

might result in higher payroll tax tho

couple pages late but the big advantage for not having single payer for a business in an enormous country (this doesn't really work as well in densely packed ones) is you can use termination as a threat to the wellbeing of someone's family

it seems like billionaires have two modes of personality transition: they turn into hideous evil greed barons or they turn into benevolent money messiahs and i could genuinely see him becoming the latter. in which case he might actually be a good president.

that said, lol, im not taking that risk if i have to. hes also a total sociopath doofus so i think even if he tries to become the latter he wont be good at it.

yet nary a dailykos single-payer thread goes by without that trope of "why can't we have something like the swiss system instead?"

like, medicare part b supplemental insurance is a bunch of private insurers adminstering plans that are cost-controlled, as providers are cost-controlled under medicare, and I'd be super-happy if everyone could purchase these plans.

and once again I'll point out that medicare part b supplemental plans are profitable to insurers--even with government's cost controls--while insurers are losing money on obamacare plans for individuals. Dems can't even lie and say their corporate owners won't allow them to have single-payer bc within five years or sooner private insurers are gonna start demanding it.

so ur saying...... try not to die for about 5-10 years and everything will be good?
