  1.  Kabelo Ntsala  Is this video too long for you? Kyle addressed that, starting around 13:47, about 4 minutes long. "If you lose, you still win." Krystal, too: https://youtu.be/64A7A8QWDNc

  2.  @jman75234  I'm not arguing specifics of strategy. What the progressives are asking for is a committment to draft legislation and put it up for a vote, with all the work that entails. Perfectly sensible demand. Or should we wait for the next pandemic? Maybe that will be a better time.

  3. Nancy Pelosi presided over a loss of House seats. Who is surprised?

  4.  @jman75234  Make Biden do it. All the more reason. Listen to Krystal Ball's editorial. That lady makes sense. I provided a link, but sometimes posts with links are shadowed (hard to monitor for TOS; annoying but understandable).

  5.  @jman75234  Make Biden veto it. For the whole world to see.

  6. You're right. It is time to force a real change.

  7.  @jman75234  Besides, the purpose of this is to get people to vote YES. (Wall Street may have other plans we don't know about.)

  8.  @jman75234  "He said he would." Well then, it's a sure thing! LMAO

  9.  @jman75234  This one is having an impact. We demand that the House start working FOR US. They needed a reminder, looks like.

  10.  @Shzl47  So then we get rid of Pelosi. Win-win.

  11.  @jivet3919  If something that the vast majority supports nevertheless loses in Congress, and it so happens to be HEALTH CARE, during a catastrophic pandemic, there . . . won't be hell to pay? Why be a representative? Be a day trader. It's more honest.

  12. The best person on this issue is Briahna Joy Gray.

  13.  @robinsss  It's a pandemic, or no? Make them all go on the record. Say. Is there ANY advantage in waiting?

  14.  Ill President  And I think you are acting as a tool of the insurance lobby. Make them all go on the record during a pandemic. We are the only major country in the world WITHOUT health care for all. And the one with the most COVID deaths. Maybe you are afraid for the financial markets, when a more significant issue in the long run is American influence, dollar hegemony, etc.
    2
  15.  Ill President  Yeah. In this country, our representatives are supposed to vote for laws people want. That's what it takes. Votes in Congress. Not martial law, not secession from the Union, etc. You get people on the real record. They see their actions have consequences. They see they may not win reelection to be our representatives, if they refuse to do their jobs. Stuff like that.

  16.  @jimberkt  The major country in the world without universal health care, that relies on employer-sponsored private health insurance while the economy is shedding jobs, and that has the most COVID deaths in the world, is coincidentally the one without the "political capital" to change this. Well I'm speechless.

  17. Thank you. I finally exhaled tonight. Whew, that felt good. This was good, too: https://youtu.be/64A7A8QWDNc

  18. You have to cross the ocean to find them.

  19.  @jman75234  We need to ask for something else, besides health care in a pandemic? Okay. Give us your suggestions. No problem.

  20.  Ill President  The whole world is watching.

  21.  Ryan DeGrave  Is there some reason to try to make this about personalities and not the issue?
    1
  22.  @jimberkt  I know what it means. Irony over someone's head? More important, you think this isn't the time to work for M4A? Political capital is an instrumental good, health care an intrinsic right.
    1
  23.  @jimberkt  I.e., you build political capital (instrumental good) to secure medical care for all (intrinsic good/intrinsic right). That's all that it's good for. It's worthless in itself, until you use it.

  24.  Ryan DeGrave  Not at all. I am referring people to editorials that develop the position, which is not an appeal to authority. I am also illustrating that the position has supporters who cannot be called bad actors. Although I apparently did not mention them in this thread. Seems you copied and pasted your remark here, where it happens to be a non sequitur.

  25.  Ryan DeGrave  Why do you persist in ad hominem? Didn't you claim to be opposed to it?
    1
  26.  Ryan DeGrave  So you joined a couple of days ago with this name, to write such remarks? Who does that?
    1
  27.  Ryan DeGrave  Oh, yeah, that's right. You wanted to make this about Krystal, whose editorial I cited! Fine. Then read Briahna Joy Gray, or watch Katie Halper's recent shows. Find out what their thoughts are. They have more time to develop the arguments on other platforms than this one.

  28.  Ryan DeGrave  BTW, I just saw that someone calling themselves "Ryan DeGrave" had an account terminated for repeated abuse. Do you have any idea who that Ryan DeGrave was, or is the same name a coincidence?

  29. Easy to imagine.

  30. What "political capital?" This is about numbers. Pelosi lost seats in the last election.

  31.  @cajunguy6502  Every bold action means taking a risk on behalf of other people. Leaders don't take that part into account. It's sheer cowardice to focus on personal risk. Do you think there is no risk in not acting? How long do you think this economy will last? How many people without access to health care do you want to see during a pandemic, depression, and eviction crisis?

  32.  @cajunguy6502  Did you foresee the demonstrations after George Floyd's murder? Why do so many people keep acting like these are normal times? Whistling in the dark.

  33.  @cajunguy6502  M4A is a cause whose TIME HAS COME.

  34.  @cajunguy6502  Okay, if "gifting" is the New Word, this conversation is over. Did you know how to talk before that became the latest meme? Pfft.

  35.  @foxinthesnow1917  The Democrats who lost House seats were the moderates. The story that they were progressive was demonstrated to be a deliberate falsehood. I could link to video analyses, or news sites, but posts with links are often shadowed as they are hard to monitor for TOS.

  36.  @cajunguy6502  "Trigger?" You forgot "snowflake." I don't waste time on people who can't express themselves without the cliche du jour.
