Shear Modulus posted:warren was building political capital by not running in 2016 there is definitely an argument either way, and clearly warren decided not running was the more secure option, but i do think she'd be starting on a much better footing this year had she ran

Lastgirl posted:its literally one of those pie in the sky promises compared to say, idk, free healthcare, tuition free college? those are actually extremely feasible while curing cancer is definitely out of our spectrum at the moment (some forms are treatable, what beau biden had was basically hosed and you are hosed)

Lastgirl posted:exactly, the problem with democrats now is that they worship incrementalism, but its turned into inertia because they've conceded and bargained one time too many. To cure cancer, in this hypothetical scenario, you would have to pool resources and have a global army of researchers and scientists which would cost far more money and time and resources than free college and healthcare, and ironically if you had free college, you would create more doctors, scientists and researchers in America as well so its just what the gently caress Joe yeah i mean doing all that wouldn't really prevent much because most cancers are genetic and we're all ticking time bombs definitely should have a candidate (unlike biden) that's actually pushing for more universal healthcare. everyone gets sick, or dies, but shouldn't be a financial crisis over it

Booourns posted:Curing cancer costs money i mean yeah, carcinogens can cause things, but its not like beau biden got brain cancer cause he smoked too much or ate bad food or drove too many cars edit: Lastgirl posted:i think you would have to accelerate technological advancements in the medical field that can only be achieved in your wildest dreams (it can be done to a degree) before you think about addressing the biological aspect. Things like gene splicing or altering your DNA out of the sci-fi novels. Scientists have computer mapped out new amino acid chains that have never existed in nature for example because of the unique protein folding structure which has enormous upsides and downsides, just one of many potential examples. Things like engineering out genes that cause cancer in the human population would be feasible in an egalitarian society in a century or so, given the exponential rate of development if we aren't all going to catch on fire in the next 2-3 decades. Nice to think about, still pie in the sky because if this happens in a late stage hypercapitalist society, its even more hosed up. yeah i mean that'd be great Berke Negri fucked around with this message at 13:18 on Jul 13, 2019 |

Majorian posted:Bernie's been using his mailing list to warn people in danger of being deported; while I'd like for him to outright say that he'll ban deportations, I think we can suss out his position pretty clearly from his actions. given sanders' has a long record of saying we need immigration controls in order to protect american workers and social programs im not really ready to suss out that he's secretly Candidate Open Borders do think its great for his campaign to be helping people like that though

Mahoning posted:Has anybody fallen harder than Beto? Dude was a legit rising star in Democratic politics and was arguably the most talked about candidate overall in the 2018 midterms. He landed the campaign manager that had been recommended by Obama and literally every Dem wanted for their campaign and loving Mayo Pete is running circles around him in the “youngish white moderate” lane of the primary. There are worse candidates in the field than Beto, but I don’t think any campaign has been as bad as his. he always sucked he just misinterpreted people wanting him to win against cruz as people wanting him to Win
