logikv9 posted:other than your posts going somewhere else idk how its causing any problems if the other thread is spamming you with reports, why are you closing a thread in a different forum entirely. USPOL is the thread so problematic that chain probations can't stop the reports, why not close it instead?

i'd agree about the medicaid bit, except that she actually wants to keep medicaid. it makes no sense, everyone eligible for medicaid currently would supposedly be covered under her public option. unless she's also not serious about the whole public option bit, and maybe that will be moved 2.5 years into the future in the next version of the bill.quote:Strengthen Medicaid

so, let's say that a family with 51 year old parents has a few children in their early 20s. the parents currently get insurance through their employer, which covers their children. warren's plan will make the parents eligible to buy the public option, but if they do so the children will then lose their coverage. so the parents now get the fun choice of sticking with lovely insurance that covers their childern, or improving their own coverage (and probably saving a ton of money) at the cost of their kids going uninsured. great job of undoing one of the few good things about obamacare warren.

Victory Position posted:You have happened upon a darkened and heavily-forrested grove. The air is still and nothing stirs. As your carriageman relieves himself by a nearby tree, you hear a rustling. What is it? Who could it be? Alas, it is those confounded C-SPAM highway they clearly should have read the OP

Coldrice posted:I guess I just see !polls! Still giving Biden favorable numbers despite him being the absolute worst shows that recognition is a huge thing. If she was the “president after trump” and if she VP’d Warren or Buttigieg she’d probably have a pretty good chance no? by the time the senate somehow kicks out both trump and pence [not going to happen but hypotheically], it will be jan 2020 at the earliest. pelosi will be unable to register for the primaries in many states as it will be past the filing deadline, and at a massive disadvantage in the rest of the states. she could theoretically be appointed by superdelegates for a second term if nobody finishes the primary with a clear majority, but other people (bloomberg, deval, hillary clinton) are going to fight tooth and nail for superdelegates in that case.

Ytlaya posted:If his goal was just to live in a big city, wouldn't staying a McKinsey consultant (or something similar) allow him to do that? I get the impression he specifically wants actual political power. mckinsey consultants are well paid, but have a pretty bad lifestyle (60-70 hour mandatory minimum work weeks, away on business trips mon-fri every week for 11 months/year). a former worker posted a 'typical' schedule that goes from 7am to 12:30 am (95 hours/week, plus whatever billiable hours they put in at the mandatory weekend meetings!). the consultants tend to leave once they inevitably burn out after some years. because it is such a resume booster, younger pmc types tolerate this so that they can springboard into positions with better working conditions. you can't really claim to live in a big city working at mckinsey when you only spend 1 evening a week in the city.

in that nytimes article pete wrote about his vacation to somalialand, he lists this as his affiliation: Peter Buttigieg is a management consultant in Chicago and a fellow at the Truman National Security Project. truman national security project website posted:Fellows are policy experts, academics, and other thought leaders who anticipate and articulate new global challenges and opportunities. Many work within the U.S. national security apparatus and legislative bodies, as well as the international community and an expansive network of nongovernmental and private organizations. also, remember in his campaign announcement and the debates, when buttigieg talked about how climate change as a national security threat? guess where that comes from: https://limacharlienews.com/politics-society/the-truman-national-security-project/ quote:The organization’s [truman national security project's] current leadership points to discussions of climate change as a major national security issue, rather than solely an environmental or economic concern, as one such example. Truman President and CEO Michael Breen told Lima Charlie News, “The fact that there’s a national security conversation about climate change is largely due to Truman.”... also lol that so many of the candidates that think tank endorsed ran in the democratic primary this year quote:In 2013, Truman unveiled a new strategy of running candidates for political office, as well as encouraging its members to engage more fully in the political process. This added strategy has given rise to the term “think-do-tank”. As traditional think tanks focus on mostly on policy, research, and advocacy, Truman staff and members are seeking to affect policy by holding the offices that create and vote on it. The group has also provided support for the Clinton campaign and down ballot progressive nominees.

Sheng-Ji Yang posted:isnt u of c basically an elite education tho. i mean its not harvard in the future plutocrat meter but its almost an ivy right? now, yes. it was quite different back when bernie was there, the faculty (in the non-humanities at least) and students were much more engaged in anti-war and civil rights struggles. this current generation of professors is all liberal or chud boomers now, except in a few departments.

OK Boomer posted:Even more than that. There's no way his staffers are directly vetting and recruiting signature gatherers. The candidate's team finds one of several (incredibly shady) contractors who maintain signature gatherers on a gig basis or they rapidly vet and hire whatever their gig pool cannot handle. These outfits are hired guns, they will work for republicans, democrats, real estate developers (most often). They charge the campaign per signature, and give a portion of that to their gatherers. The fees are also dependent on the time constraints of the campaign. If the signature gathering contractor is paying $15 per signature, then you can be guaranteed that the campaign is paying $20-$30 per signature to its contractor. when i was gathering signatures for bernie to be on the ballot in va there was this incredibly dire text at the bottom that threatened anyone caught falsifying signatures with 10 years in prison. so i guess the companies just leave anyone who gets caught falsifying signatures out to dry, despite having received 50% of the payment for the fraud? also, it feels good to know that the signatures i gathered for bernie had a market price of $900.

Joementum posted:There are a few states like Oklahoma where it is impossible to be listed on the ballot at a third party presidential candidate. i'm pretty sure that there was a libertarian candidate in 2016 in the OK general.  the barriers to getting on the ballot as a third party are extremely high in OK tho, it's pretty bad and needs to change
