ihatepants posted:Didn’t she finally advocate for single payer in her interview with Ady Barkan just a couple of days ago? I mean, i've been burned before with Kamala's "signed onto the M4A bill in the senate", but I think Warren has explicitly stated her support for the M4A bill in the senate right now. She doesn't have her own plan, it's the Bernie bill.

That is just another bill that's currently in the Senate that she also supports. ihatepants posted:the Behavioral Health Coverage Transparency Act addressing mental health coverage now while we have to deal with the ACA.

rko posted:Except Bernie never does that? He constantly acknowledges, “Your taxes will go up,” as part of his messaging on M4A. Likely because he understands that, like the “socialist” label, running away from it clearly doesn’t work, so you might as well embrace it and spend some time explaining what you actually mean whenever you get the chance. And Warren, who has much easier access to mass media, has many more opportunities to do so, which is why it’s so disappointing to see her flub it over and over again. my bad https://twitter.com/politico/status/1144421342961393665?s=20 The point still stands though, that the media is trying to get their "taxes will go up" sound byte so they can disingenuously run it. She's acknowledging that taxes will go up when she answers "costs will go down". also, idk a better word than derail for a tangent of discussion in a thread, that has common acceptance.

MSDOS KAPITAL posted:Rather than constant vigilance on the phrasing for a media that is just waiting to pounce on some disingenuous bullshit, they'd be better off altering M4A to be fully funded by massive wealth taxes on the rich. Then when rear end in a top hat journos ask this stupid question they can just say "no one in the middle class will see a tax increase - the only change is no more insurance premiums." I'm not certain there is enough wealth to sustain that indefinitely.

Majorian posted:National polls were, state-level polls weren't. That's even more the case when it comes to primaries. Voter suppression and EC gerrymandering is a bitch, ain't it like... polls weren't super turbo wrong, but pollsters were with their prognostications. The "there's not way Trump can win" brain rot was loving strong. Besides, polls are just one data point, and folks shouldn't hang on them, but we're all guilty of it.

About the same a Bernie stan feels for being in the same camp as someone who wants to literally guillotine the upper middle class... I don't like... care much? Some rich dumbass spouting bullshit on a cable news network isn't why I'd vote for Warren, and it certainly isn't why I wouldn't.
