Bernie doesn't stand a chance. Bernie will look like an angry old man if he debate Trump. If Bernie ran against Trump Bernie will win 10 states max.

@DigitalNoodle , Bernie would be the one who gets pissed off. In reality Bernie has nothing to say against Trump. Noticed how when Bernie talks about Trump he does not mention anything about policy but simply calls Trump a racist or bigot. It isn't "Trump's policies are harming the economy" because Trump's economy is booming.

@lobomonos5009 , those programs are locally ran and funded.

@kennethmcneil3478 , whatever. Enjoy 4 more years of Trump.

@KingJT80 , healthcare is a commodity. You say "name one country...." is not an argument. Name one country that has found a cure for all cancer? None. So by your standard we should not find one. There are many facts on the side of the idea a free market system will greatly improve our healthcare system. People on the far left just deny them.
1
@TheBigGSN5 , what "education" should one receive?
1
@ՀովհաննեսԱյվազովսկի , true. You see, when you come with a valid argument many on the left just become emotional and say you are wrong with no actual reason why. And they wonder why Trump became president.
1
@SamWeltzin , what actual conversation was being engaged here?
1
@SamWeltzin , I have seen both sides of the arguments and I support both sides to a degree. The issue is this. When you go down to the core of political issues, mainly one dealing with economic ones, the political left bases their ideas on emotions and the political right bases their ideas on facts and reasoning. That is not to say that one is better than the other. Facts are important, but we are human and thus emotions play a role, but when you go to far in one direction it becomes a problem. Right now the political left is way too far left and they push the Medicare for All issue purely on emotions. It is to the point that when I recommend books and studies from experts on this issue to give a counter argument supporters for Medicare for All refuse to accept them. That is the problem. If any group is partisan is the far left.
1
@SamWeltzin , also, I do listen. You just never took the time to pick my brain on my ideas to improve healthcare. That is why you say I live in a partisan bubble when, in fact, I am very open to improving our healthcare system with many ideas. That is why I engage in these discussions.
1
@KingJT80 , we need cars and shoes as well. No cars, no shoes, no job. Saying "every other modern country" is not an argument. You know, the human race is the only animal that can use a computer. Do you want us to regress away from using a computer like every other animal in the animal kingdom does? The argument is essentially the same. There is a lot of data and evidence to suggest the US has strong system with our profit motive system. Read Prof. Scott Atlas book "In Excellent Health". And there is a lot of evidence that government subsidizes and regulations is what is causing the high prices. Read the following report https://mises.org/wire/how-government-regulations-made-healthcare-so-expensive The reality is this, we don't have a free market system. We have a for profit system with many government subsidizes and regulations. All across the market the free market has shown to be the best at increasing supply and lowering prices where government has been shown to hinder growth.
1
@helltanner3722 , a major problem we have in our healthcare system is that healthcare insurance equals healthcare. Healthcare insurance should be healthcare insurance. If that was the case than prices will drop and healthcare insurance will become more affordable.
1
@amrs6713 , it goes both ways. Kyle shows a story of someone with a rare, and serious illness that ends up dying from insurance not covering them and Kyle and his fan base flip out. Also, Kyle just showed a Cory Booker video of someone on Medicare not being able to afford the high prices of care. That is an argument against Medicare for All as it shows that even with Medicare people still can't afford care.
1
@kennethmcneil3478 , what sources do I dismiss?
1
@KingJT80 , no system is ideal. I feel a free market system is the best at covering the most people with the highest quality out there. I ultimately support a free market healthcare system where local communities, whether it be local charities or local government, filling in the gaps that the free market does not cover. Your example of fire departments supports me 100%. Fire departments are ran and funded locally. Some are actually private in some areas. In many areas fire fighters are volunteer where nation wide 70% of fire fighters are volunteer. The fire department is literally the local community working together to help out their local society. Whether it be through a private system, or a public system, or a volunteer system. Even at that, the cost of a fire department is nothing compared to the cost of healthcare. You say "that's a rediculous line of thinking with so many implications I dont know where to start" because, not to be rude, you don't have a strong argument to begin with and don't understand how the system is ran. So you pull a logical fallacy. Pointing to other nations is flawed in many ways as there are way too many factors to consider. To start, most of those nations are smaller than a lot of our states. Name me a nation with 100+ million people, universal healthcare and a strong economy? How about we use that standard. Next, those nations have many shortcomings as well. Our for profit system has led us to lead the work in R&D in technology and drug development in healthcare. Other nations take advantage of our advancements. Also, their survival rate, as argued by Prof. Scott Atlas in his book I cited, is lower than ours. You say "right to life". All that means is that the government cannot take life without due process. On your idea of right to life how far do you want to take it? Do we give people food? Do we give people a home? And for how long? Eventually people die. At want point do we stop caring for them? Saying "right to life" is purely an emotional system by the way you are presenting it. In reality all it means is that government cannot take life away without due process. All we have proved, in the US, is that crony capitalism does not work which is what we have in the US healthcare system. Adding more government will only make that situation worse, not better.
1
@KingJT80 , never said we need private companies running everything. In fact, I said I support a government system to fill in the gaps if needed. There is a desire to have government, but government, like businesses, are flawed. Society needs to control government and these government programs need to work for the people. You do that by keeping it as local as possible. That is why fire departments are locally ran and funded. Same with police, K-12 education, public libraries, etc. Military is a federal issue as it deals with foreign affairs and serves the states. The military is not allowed to enforce domestic laws on the people. You says "poor communities get horrible service". What do you base that off of? Profit motive leads to more supply as there is a motive to create more. In order to give someone healthcare you have to force someone to provide it. Your "right to life" idea means forcing someone to give up their services. Say a "poor community" had no doctor and the people there need healthcare. That means you have to force someone to move there to serve them whether they want to or not. You, at that point, are arguably depriving that doctor to their right to life. Military members actually serve and work for our nation. What's your point? The smaller the nation the easier it is to micromanage those programs. Also, the culture is less diverse to more people are on the same page. That is why local programs work much better than federal ones. That isn't want the Koch Brothers study said. I suggest you read the actual study. There are many arguments to say that other nations are not better than ours. I pointed to an book by a Stanford professor. Again, saying "point to another country" is not an argument. Point to another animal in the animal kingdom that uses a computer,you can't. I guess us as humans should stop using computers.
1
@KingJT80 , a federally ran system creates waste and problems. A major reason why some areas are poor is because the people there refuse to work. If you nationalized these system you expand the problem so everyone is poor. Take the Flint incident. While bad it was isolated to Flint. If water was nationalized then the whole country suffers. Also, healthcare is 1/6 of our economy, defense is 4% of it. Cutting defense will not pay for these things.
1
@KingJT80 , yes, a corrupt government made Flint a mess. So why do you want to expand the federal government? If the federal government becomes corrupt than the whole nation is screwed. All a private business can do is offer you a product and/or a job. They have not force. Government does have the ability to force. You talk about lobbying, that exists because government has power to sell. To stop lobbying you reduce the powers of government. When government has nothing to sell than it can't be bought.
1
@markray6113 , there are many arguments against public healthcare.
1
@KingJT80 , if a state does something that is left wing I have no problem with it as that is what the citizens of that state wants. If it works than fine, other states will adapt. If not they can change it easier at the state level. You have not talked to many people on the left I assume at that point.
1
@KingJT80 , uh, because this will be the magical time where government will create an "anti-lobbying" law and actually enforce it. Because all throughout the history of government this has never been brought up. Fact is government, all throughout history, is corrupted. That is why you have to place limits on it.
1
@KingJT80 , i am all for there being laws on businesses. I want them to be decided locally so we are not chasing businesses out of the country. Also, most businesses owners are very giving. But again, all a business can do is offer you a job and/or a product.
1
@deeznutsanyachin2027 , I want government, I just want to control it. Also, lobbying only exists when government has power to sell.
1
@deeznutsanyachin2027 , funny how I support vaccines and support taking actions on climate change. You just feel government has a magic wand to take care of you as you can't take care of yourself.
1
@KingJT80 , unions are not the problem, crony unionism is. Unions are fine as long as they don't use the force of government to get what they want. Crony unionism is just as bad as crony capitalism. Also, there are other factors besides unions that lead to companies leaving. While Mexicans will work for less, their productivity is much lower as outlined in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KvEs6zOJLqk We can hold corporation responsible in a free market. Again, all they can do is offer you a job and/or a product. Corporations, in order to be successful, have to serve the people. If not than no one will work for them and no one will buy from them.
1
@KingJT80 , again with this whole "buy the government" thing. That is because government has power to sell. If government does not have power to sell than it can't be bought. That is why you need to limit government.
1
@KingJT80 , again, the idea of preventing government from being corrupt is nothing new, it has been happening for as long as government has existed. To solve it you need to limit the powers government have. When government has limited powers than it can't be bought. Healthcare is a commodity because someone has to provide it.
1
@KingJT80 , they do, but the way to offer it to everyone is a complex issue.

Why do you make fun of people with a mental health condition? You do know there are many intelligent people with mental health problems. I just love how "liberal" the left can be at times.
1
@JAMuUP , you see, you are just as bad as the OP. You are literally saying that people with mental health conditions are inferior and stupid which is why they voted for Trump. There is a stigma placed on people with mental health problems when in reality there are many intelligent and productive people with mental health conditions. You labeling people with mental health conditions as stupid and inferior makes you part of the problem.
1
@karlmarxthebolshevikrabbi2536 , uh, no. I am pointing out how the OP is labeling people with mental health conditions as inferior and stupid. He is saying people vote for Trump because they have a mental health condition and all they need is help and the won't be Trump supporters. That sounds very similar to gay conversion therapy. You know, how some people feel that all you have to do is give gay people therapy and they will no longer be gay. That OP is catering to the stigma society places on people with mental health conditions which is not productive or progressive at all. It makes him part of the problem. Also, to add, you are suggesting that through a government ran program like M4A that we can convert more people to vote democrat. That sounds a lot like indoctrination to me.
1
@karlmarxthebolshevikrabbi2536 , see, all you have are insults 1. Who is the US bombing? You know that issue is more complex than you realize? 2. How is the US starving children in Yemen? 3. What do you mean enslaving people for smoking pot? 4. Pouring free money to Israel, what? 5. How are republicans depriving people from getting healthcare? I feel you clearly don't understand the issues. You also don't understand mental health disorders. It is vague and can include a lot of things.
1
@JAMuUP , I do have a mental health disorder. I have seen proper healthcare and have been diagnosed as such. What's your point? Do you feel someone having a mental health disorder makes them inferior? That is literally what you are saying. Despite my disorder I am a PhD candidate in physical chemistry and I do support Trump. I can give an intelligent, and detailed reason why I support Trump. But you see, that does not matter to you. You view me as inferior because I have a mental health disorder and thus you want to place me in "re-education" camp........I mean give me mental healthcare so that I no longer support Trump.
1
@JAMuUP , you did not hurt my feelings. I just look down on you as you judge others and label others as inferior when they disagree with your politics. That is not bad enough, you do it in a way that degrades other with a condition that is very challenging to solve. How is supporting Trump a mental disorder? And how does me supporting him mean I don't care about people with a mental disorder? That is also insulting. A major reason why we have a president like Trump is because people on the far left, like you, have no desire to engage in intelligent discussion. You feel a certain people, in this case Trump supporters, have no desire to help others or improve the system when, in fact, they do. I feel that the federal government, when interacting in complex domestic issues like healthcare, cause more problems. For example, The Community Mental Health Act of 1963 was the federal government getting involved in mental healthcare. The result was mental health facilities closing down as the federal government could not manage the issue and people were being release from facilities before they were cured. The federal government made the situation worse. There are arguments on both sides to improve our system. But when you completely ignore one side that becomes a problem and puts you in the wrong.
1
@JAMuUP , let us break down your comment because it defines the problem with the left and a reason why I support Trump "The "far left" huh? By that do you mean popular?" What ideas are popular? If they are so popular than why are they not being supported at the local level. For example, every attempt to pass universal healthcare at the state level has failed. " Most people need to take a "which party am I" quiz because they're clueless where they actually stand. " Most people don't understand the issue in general which is a major reason why I support smaller, more local governments. I understand my position so there is no need to take an arbitrary test. "Clearly your feelings are hurt." Uh, no. I am doing just fine. My feelings don't get hurt by some radical whom I don't know. "I view bigotry, homophobia and racism as a mental disorder. It's rampant in your Rebub party which has devolved into the far right. Does it not give you pause that nazis and the kkk support your party?" Just because Nazis and KKK support republicans does not mean anything to me. Radical and hateful people support both sides. I care about the actual politicians. Also, just because the KKK supports a group does not make that group bad. If the KKK supported brushing your teeth would you start promoting tooth decay in response? If the KKK supporting taking showers after going to the gym would you boycott gyms or showers or both? Also, this is an important part here. A major problem with the left is the playing of identity politics. Issues like racism, sexism, bigotry, etc. are essentially dead. How are republicans racists? How are they sexists? You can't say. I can argue democrats are through the soft bigotry of low expectations. Or by bringing up race and sex on issues that are not related to race and sex. People don't care what someone's race or sex is. But apparently the left does. "Your side has deeply unpopular policy ideas yet still get support. " Ever thought that their ideas are popular? "If your contention is your side votes against their own interests and the interests of it's fellow citizens .." Here we go. This is another major problem I have with the far left. It is they myopic, elitist attitude. You feel your ideas are in the best interest of others. How many people outside of your political beliefs do you actually know? I bet not many. Ever thought people don't want left wing ideas and for good reason? People are different across the board. To assume your ideas are the best and others are just stupid makes you the bigot one. You saying people are voting against their best interest because they don't know better. That makes you the problem. Ever tried to understand their position?

@JAMuUP , now why do I support Trump? Here are two major reasons why 1. He is great for the economy. Under him the economy is growing where the Fed had to raise interest rates multiple times which did not happen once under Obama. The economy is improving under Trump. 2. The political left has gone too far left and is now doubling down. The last point is the main reason why I support Trump. The political left are too extreme and are now doubling down on. Look at the two candidates for presidents on the democrat side. Clinton had no desire to rally in swing states. She hung out with her celebrity friends and other politician friends. Trump rallied in swing states and energized the common man. The other candidate was Bernie. Bernie is extremely radical and has no desire to listen and try to understand the other side. When pressed on the issues he becomes perturbed and resorts to talking points. In a town hall discussion in Vegas someone asked him about the min. wage and how he will prevent prices from going up. Bernie did not answer the question. He went on a rant about how people should earn a "living wage". Or in the debate against Cruz where the hair salon owner asked him how she can pay for her employees' healthcare insurance without raising prices under Obamacare. Bernie said he does not know and that she will have to follow the law. He had no desire to understand her profit margins, how much she pays her employees, what percent if payroll, her taxes, her rent, etc. Bernie has zero desire to understand the other side on the isues. This is why we have Trump. The political left has no desire to discuss the issue with republicans. Look how they treated Gorsuch. Look how they treated Kavanaugh. Republicans are more moderate these days but they are too PC to call democrats out for their actions. Trump wasn't. He said what was on people's minds when it came to politics, especially towards the far left and he won. The democrats are now doubling down by pushing AOC and the presidential candidates running on far left issues. Hopefully when Trump wins around 40 states this next time around democrats will learn.

@marithzabravo4575 , my bad, corrected it.

@karlmarxthebolshevikrabbi2536 1. I heard of them. Both sides do it. What's your point? You are blaming Trump for something administrations on both sides have done for decades. At that point there is more to it than what you are willing to accept. 2. What policy was that? And how did it lead to starvation? I need details. 3. People in prisons have 3 square meals, a warm bed and clothes. Doesn't sound like slavery to me. 4. So. We fund for a lot of defense systems in other nations. It allows us to know what they are capable of and actually creates comradery between countries. 5. And the far left support Medicare for all which will destroy millions of jobs, create a major recession and make healthcare worse. See how easy it is to make radical claims?
1
@karlmarxthebolshevikrabbi2536 1. It is an argument. Also, it shows there is a lot more going on than you realize. 2. Ok, what? 3. These people broke the law thus they serve time in prison. As such they work. Scandinavian nations have had lower crime for years. That is their culture. You can't compared. 4. A part of defense is training other nations so we develop a stronger connection with them. Most conflict these days are settled off of the battle field. 5. What?
