IMO the whole Russia hacking(not Russia Trump) thing is like to me as predictable actions and more of a condemnation of our government's competency than it is about a sacred process almost being violated.

The US Government has known for longer than I've been alive that Russia likes to mess with us. Birds sing, the sky is blue, Russia likes to get their fingers in our food.
They used to take precautionary measures, but neoconservatism and neoliberalism basically ignored poo poo as "everything is good" due to how markets were going. It's the corruption that allowed it to stagnate because america is already the best.


I believe in an alternate reality where we kept actually playing the cyber shadowgame that we used to in the past that the Russia thing wouldn't even have gotten so far with fake news and hacking because we'd be one step ahead of them.

But greed is more important apparently. :smith:

It's blending like johnny walker vs a single malt. You would do that to balance the flavor profile because single malt ryes are pretty harsh. Also it's a dumb gimmick here.

again, if people voted on that basis, we'd be living in a very different world

the suggestion isn't that single payer isn't a good idea, it's that it's not the best thing to centerpiece a campaign around, vs. poo poo like "here's how we're gonna put more money in your pocket" - which, for most people, single payer wouldn't, at least not in the short term.
If Single Payer lets me keep my care between jobs and if I'm jobless, and is cheap and affordable with more coverage, then it's a great thing to focus on the benefits on how it can enable worker freedom, reduce debt, increase wealth, and etc. all based on the cascading effects.

Now it'd be naive to think a politician would campaign on it and literally ignore everything else, especially with other good causes to support outside of healthcare.
But for healthcare focus Single Payer is a good standard, unless you have an even better solution that will never -ever- come to pass

Here's a good labor angle:

With affordable and non-employer locked health care you won't have to get a second job to feed your family and keep them alive, you can use that time to actually be alive with your family, and move to wherever without fear.

Don't got a family? If not then we don't make laws for vatbabies yet as they're not a viable demographic.

To be honest Twitter and Facebook can be easily done via open source self/community hosting solutions using the OStatus protocol but since it costs money to run a popular one Facebook will always be around cus you sell your info to them via registration until people just quit it.
