also doesn't it re-institute the uninsured fee, by far the least popular part of Obamacare, in addition to increasing it like 10x?

If anyone calls for the Democratic Party to go to the center, make sure to tell them it's bullshit (maybe in nicer terms). I made a tweet thread that addresses this, in case anyone is interested:

https://mobile.twitter.com/apexrogers/status/1226606561117663232

I'm working on one for the "Anyone But Trump" talking point, taking down the argument as simplistic and distracting from policy distinctions. I may also address why the alternative "progressive" candidates Warren and Buttigieg are not real options.

Yup that too. It goes from about $695 to $7,000. All so that you can be poor and not have insurance.

From Joepinetree in the other Bernie thread

joepinetree posted:

From a few pages back, but I sincerely hate this hack. The superficial expertise that confuses prestige with insight (100% of the "actually, Warren's plans are so detailed" crowd will list their alma mater on their twitter bio, because their entire identity is wrapped up in using academic prestige to justify their comfortable position).

In every single area where there has been an academic evaluation of Warren's and Bernie's plans, Bernie's was found to be better and more comprehensive.

To recap:

Bernie's debt forgiveness plan is better about addressing the wealth gap:

https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/d2ad/35991d2f84b5a2e48d7d8aee2676c21ab732.pdf

The Berkeley professors who advised Warren find that Bernie's plan is better at addressing inequality

http://gabriel-zucman.eu/files/saez-zucman-wealthtax-sanders-online.pdf

Bernie's FTT plan is a better way to pay for college forgiveness

https://www.peri.umass.edu/component/k2/item/698-the-revenue-potential-of-a-financial-transaction-tax-for-u-s-financial-markets

Medicare for all is better than a public option:

https://www.citizen.org/wp-content/uploads/Economists-for-Medicare-for-All-letter.pdf



If you ever wanted evidence that Warren's campaign is all about that professional class that confuses prestige for authority (in the scientific sense), this rear end in a top hat is a great example.

Bloomberg is a monster

It would seem to be a damning set of facts, by normal Democratic Party standards: Bloomberg and his organizations have been defendants in almost 40 sexual harassment and discrimination lawsuits. He has cast doubt on the #MeToo movement, saying people should let the legal system decide if someone is guilty of sexual misconduct. In 2008, he said the end of redlining was to blame for the housing crisis. Under his mayoral administration, law enforcement in New York used the city’s mosques and public spaces as a laboratory for surveillance and predictive policing technology in counterterrorism, and he has defended this practice in various ways over the years. In 2013, he said that police officers deploying stop and frisk—a tactic that was being used to racially profile and harass Black and brown teens en masse—were “disproportionately stop[ping] whites too much and minorities too little.” The following year, Bloomberg said he hoped the NSA was “reading every email.” And, the year after that, he defended stop and frisk once more while at the Aspen Institute. “Ninety-five percent of murders, murderers, and murder victims fit one M.O. You can just take a description, Xerox it, and pass it out to all the cops,” he said in a leaked video. “They are male, minorities, 16 to 25.”

wow with all of the other miserable awful lovely things about bloomberg it seems like we've already forgotten that he used actual slave labor (aka prison labor) as part of his campaign just months ago

MIKE BLOOMBERG EXPLOITED PRISON LABOR TO MAKE 2020 PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN PHONE CALLS

quote:

FORMER NEW YORK CITY mayor and multibillionaire Democratic presidential candidate Mike Bloomberg used prison labor to make campaign calls. Through a third-party vendor, the Mike Bloomberg 2020 campaign contracted New Jersey-based call center company ProCom, which runs calls centers in New Jersey and Oklahoma. Two of the call centers in Oklahoma are operated out of state prisons. In at least one of the two prisons, incarcerated people were contracted to make calls on behalf of the Bloomberg campaign.

According to a source, who asked for anonymity for fear of retribution, people incarcerated at the Dr. Eddie Warrior Correctional Center, a minimum-security women’s prison with a capacity of more than 900, were making calls to California on behalf of Bloomberg. The people were required to end their calls by disclosing that the calls were paid for by the Bloomberg campaign. They did not disclose, however, that they were calling from behind bars.

Bloomberg was constructed in a lab to be the perfect candidate for 50+ year old Jewish women with a net worth of 5 million dollars or more who spend their entire lives:

1. posting news stories about black girls winning science fairs on Facebook with hashtags like #blacktastic or getting into heated argument in the NYT fb comments about how bombing children is ok because someone threw a rock at an Israeli soldier
2. Going to the gym at 4 AM even though they don't have a job
3. Planning vacations to Palm springs or Miami
4. Volunteering once a year at the soup kitchen
5. Writing a stern letter to the schul about the distribution of tickets to the high holidays

This sounds oddly specific but my in laws have a solid dozen friends I'm aware of who do these things nearly exactly the same way and they all appear to like bloomberg

Warren has absolutely no minority support and isnt able to rally black people, the Dem party's most loyal constituency

https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...4Pv2d0p&ampcf=1

CHARLESTON, S.C. — The crowd at a music venue here was energized, on its feet, breaking out into an occasional chant of “dream big, fight hard” while waiting for a get-out-the-vote rally with Senator Elizabeth Warren and John Legend.

But when one black City Council member from nearby North Charleston entered the auditorium, he immediately noticed a problem: The audience was almost entirely white.

Just days before Saturday’s South Carolina primary, a contest in which black voters will likely make up around 60 percent of the electorate, Ms. Warren drew an audience in Charleston that more closely resembled those in Iowa and New Hampshire, more John Mellencamp than John Legend.

Mike Brown, the North Charleston city councilor who is undecided in the primary, called it a troubling omen — a campaign that has tried to pitch itself as the uniting force within the Democratic Party that could not attract the party’s most loyal constituency.

ADVERTISEMENT

Continue reading the main story

“Look at this audience, and it’s no representation from African-Americans. One percent? 2 percent?” Mr. Brown said. “Her message is strong, and those who hear her like her, but she just hasn’t reached people on the ground.”

However, there remains a significant disconnect between that perception and the reality of securing black and Latino votes. And that disconnect is becoming harder to hide, as Ms. Warren lost decisively among Latino voters in Nevada and her prospects among black voters in South Carolina look equally grim. Recent polling averages project she will finish fourth or fifth in the state, behind more widely known or well-funded candidates like former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr., Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont and the businessman Tom Steyer.
