Because people don't want M4A. Kyle keeps pointing to polls without realizing how flawed they are. He lives in a life of opinion polls as if they dictate the reality.

@minskghoul , the evidence is in elections. Biden is winning despite him have dementia. That is the evidence. As prof. Andrew Gelman said "Finally, the 3 percent margin of error is an understatement because opinions change. On January 3, 2004, the Gallup poll included 410 Democrats, 26 percent of whom supported Howard Dean for president. The margin of error was 5 percent, and so we can be pretty sure that on that date, between 21 percent and 31 percent of Democrats supported Dean. But a lot of them have changed their minds. A poll is a snapshot, not a forecast." There are several other factors on polls, mainly they are vague questions on complex issues being asked to non experts. If you ask those same people if they support M4A after taking a year long course in healthcare economics the results will change drastically. You say get a life, I suggest you actually read up on what experts have to say and not Kyle "the polls say".

Kyle keeps living in a fantasy by pointing to polls. Polls are very unreliable in many ways. Kyle points to polls but his side keeps losing. Hopefully, for his mental sanity, he realizes that polls are unreliable.

@minskghoul , why else is Biden winning? Why did "progressive" candidates endorsed by AOC lose? A what point do you ignore polls and election results?

But yet Bernie is losing.

@tommyob4762 , how are the polls on M4A accurate?

@Donald J. Trump , I agree, Bernie is not popular. The sad thing, though, is that his supporters feel that he is and will create a fantasy that he was cheated. They, in my opinion, have a mental disorder in that they are living in a fantasy world. It is sad.

@davidmcmillan4183 , learn what rights are. When you do you realize healthcare cannot be a right.
1
@davidmcmillan4183 , ok. I will try to educate you. Rights in this nation give the citizens the ability to challenge the government without fear of oppression. Freedom of speech allows us to criticize the government. Right to a trial by a jury of our peers allows our peers to judge us, not the government. Freedom from search and seizure allows us protection from the government from invading out private space, etc. And rights can only be taken away through due process. Making healthcare a "right" does not give the people power over the government. In fact, it gives government power over the people. So again, learn what rights are. Learn the legal system.

He should be honest and admit he is a communist.

@Nightingale ,I am 32 bud.

The issue is that you vote for someone who you think can get the most done. Do you really feel that Bernie can get a fraction of his policies passed? He will be laughed at while he just slams his fist on the podium bitching about billionaires (but not millionaires anymore as he is one himself).

@Liliputian07 , Bernie does not have any details in his plans. Taxing wealth is not as easy as he and his fans think as wealth has to become liquidated and doing so will change its value. This is why many say Bernie has no actual way to pay for it as he doesn't.
1
@aaronvallejo8220 , what federal government program actually saves money?
1
@Liliputian07 , actually the Nordic nations Bernie points to removed their wealth tax because it did not work.
1
@Liliputian07 , also, as Delany said, all Bernie wants to do is throw a plan out there and have everyone else pick up the pieces. I will give you a very simple example. On tuition free college how do you handle the NCAA?
1
@Liliputian07 , how about you answer my question. Under tuition free college how do you handle the NCAA? And you pointed to three nations where many removed the wealth tax. It is extremely difficult to tax wealth as the value of wealth fluctuates.
1
@Liliputian07 , you are now proving you put zero thought into these issues. The NCAA is set up with different divisions in DI, DII and DIII. It is based on scholarship limits. For example, DIII is all walk ones. DII football have 36 full ride scholarships they can give players and usually they split it up. DI FBS football has 86 full ride scholarships where usually everyone is given a full ride. It is why they get the better athletes. However, it does place a cap on them so smaller schools and still get quality athletes if they do desire. If you make colleges tuition free there is no need to have scholarships. So with that how should the NCAA function? How will the split up he divisions and even the playing field now that scholarships are off the table?
1
@Liliputian07 , so basically "fuck them" is your response? How "liberal" of you and this is why Bernie won't win. Also, the NCAA is academic. Many students obtain jobs on campus because of it. You have student managers, student trainers, students working in marketing and media etc. So now you are depriving students from opportunity, congrats.

@aaronvallejo8220 , M4A will not save money.

Or that polls are highly flawed.
1
@minskghoul , I agree there is no single factor, but at some point you have to realize that these "progressives" pushing these radical ideas are not winning and that the people are are simply not voting for them. I suggest you watch videos by Youtuber Stephen Michael Davis. He breaks down how progressives contradict themselves and are essentially delusional.
1
@bluenami7520 , yep, the whole "it is rigged" argument. Quite a conspiracy. When are you going to admit that people don't support "progressive" ideas? And again, polls are highly flawed.
1
@whyispinkysoinsane7898 , elections say so. Why did around 80% of voters in Colorado voted against universal healthcare?
1
@jamesguilford6807 "That every man woman and child in this nation should be able to receive medical care regardless of their financial status, is not a radical idea." It is because resources are limited and no nation provides that.
1
@bluenami7520 , how about you give proof they did rig the election.
1
@jamesguilford6807 , saying "other nations do it" is a poor argument. One, they have vastly different cultures than us. Next, they manage their healthcare by capping how much one receives. In the US we offer more advanced testing and more advanced care compared to other nations which is why we have higher survival rates of advanced illnesses. Other nations simply limit how much care one receives. There are arguments for and against that where the far left who supports M4A refuse to have. For example, should we be keeping our elderly alive for as long as we do or do what other nations do, drug them up so they die without pain. So saying "other nations do it" is a very poor argument.
1
@bluenami7520 , which court case?
1
@jamesguilford6807 , you need to understand what rights are in this nation. Rights give the US citizens power over the government rights can only be taken away through due process. Freedom of speech allows people to criticize the government. Freedom for search and seizure prevents the government to invading into your private residence and so on. All "right to life" means that the government cannot take away life without due process. If you make healthcare a "right" you have to force doctors to serve people which enslaves them and, ironically, takes away their life in the process. "ou obviously do not care about the fact that in this nation we also cap how much healthcare an individual receives according to their ability to pay for it" Sure, but the vast majority still receive the high quality of care. Other nations cap it because the government does not want to pay. Is that something you support? In our system people are given a choice. "It would make far more sense if we in this nation were to limit healthcare resources in such a way as to allow most Americans to access non elective medical care," Define "non elective"? Also, this is where the difficult discussions come that the left does not want to have. How much resources do we spend on someone who, statistically, is going to die anyway? Written in the book 'Being Mortal" the author there says that many seek out modern medicine to live another 5 or 10 years but will only live another 5 or 10 months. Other nations, with old and really sick, just end up shooting them with drugs so they die pain free. In the US we push to keep them alive. Should we? Again, chances are they are going to die soon anyways. I saw this first hand with my grandma who was very sick in her 80s. The kids had to travel long distances to care for her and we eventually moved her to another state to live with one of her kids. She was in terrible shape and when she died it was less stressful for the family. However, they wanted to keep her alive. You see, this is a very complex issue that many on the far left do not want to take on. They just want to pass M4A and have everyone else pick up the pieces. The rest of your rant on "rights" shows you don't understand what rights are. Also, I support expansion of resources where you have the mindset that resources are finite. Under M4A there will be an issue of limited resources as there is less of an incentive to create more.

@jamesguilford6807 , a nice long comment where you don't know what you are talking about. Eminent domain is done through the legal process which is due process. As for committing a crime and losing property, again, it goes through due process. As for Trump and the Republicans, what did they do? Please give me specifics. " the constitutional authority to promote the general welfare and insure domestic tranquility by establishing some form of universal healthcare program and I do not give a rat's ass about what it is you and other Right wingers mistakenly think you know about the US constitution," It is "promote" general welfare, not do welfare. Words have meaning. Nowhere does the Constitution gives the federal government authority to have medicare.
1
@jamesguilford6807 , yep, decided by the courts like all legal issues.
