  3.  @jeremychase7416  As long as the bulk of our our leaders are for sale legislation that puts a leash on these robbers will not be forth coming. Primaries are very very important.

  8. Justin Archer  That they are correct about impeaching the mess that is trump does not mean anyone ignores they are also shills to the military industrial complex just like anyone who gives Bolton power is. No one in this thread defends Clinton, Bush or Obama, Trump is no better and is somehow the same fail as they are and amazingly manages to be magnitudes more unapologetically corrupt. That is some feat given who he is being compared to.

  9. I have not seen that. There are issues with the coverage but it should not be equated to what the cons do

  10.  @youknow9092  Not really, them and the other white power freaks openly support donald and he tips his hat to them now and again letting us know there good people on both sides of the racial hate issue. For ever denouncement there is a wink a nod and another racist trope pressed. The GOP has more fully embraced it racist southern strategy roots in the last 5 years than they have in the last 20. Pretending the democrats are still attached to the KKK in 2021 is brain dead. Donald appealed to white power freaks directly, you do not get to larp about caring about some imaginary connection between Joe and the southern bigots who have voted gop for the last 40 years.

  11.  @whyamimrpink78  Nonsense, the GOP has consistently spit on them as a standard and most of the base considers civil rights a bad word. They are passing antidemocratic bigoted laws as a we speak to limit access to voting for whole communities as the base cheers it on. You as usual are not correct.

  16. As he gains in the polls despite their best efforts it does not appear to be working. The only thing they are doing is delaying the inevitable which would already be all over without their concerted attempt to mislead.

  17. It is really hard to listen to these people whine about how challenging their lives are in a the middle of a pandemic where 1/10 the country does not have enough to eat. Not being perfect is not the same as not knowing how you are going to pay rent or feed your children. I can't imagine this spin will do anything but make any normal person loathe her. She is juiced if she thinks millions are like her, most people do not have unlimited amounts of wealth at their finger tips.

  23. I do not think that splitting our votes is the right way.  We need to invade and take it over from the inside.   It can be reformed and an attempt like the Justice democrats is the path.

  25. Brushed Muffin4201 Go live in Somalia or some other 3rd world hell hole and quit insisting we act just like them. I want to become more like a 1st world nation and not a place where education is a privilege instead of a right and people die on the streets because they can not afford health care while the rich live in mansions surrounded by guards with guns. You have not made a single valid point and if you are not getting your "facts" from fox you are getting them from some other disreputable partisan hack place that does not value reality. Fascists are hard core element of the right wing not the left, get your head out of your ass and do some reading somewhere new before saying stupid things over and over in public.

  27. +Red Pill  I say you advocate for killing people because that is what you are doing in arguing against health care for all.  You choosing to prosecute theft at the cost of peoples lives and choose stand by and watch people die on principle so the rich can throw more money on the pile.  This is objectively is what the policy you advocates for leads to and if you can call taxes theft it is more than fair to say what you want supports murder on behalf of insurance companies profit.   You may not want to kill but that is fruit of the seeds you sew.  You want government to step out and just let people who can not afford health care die and you have made it abundantly clear you do not care about them.   That you say they have overreached does not make your assertions correct or validated.  Part of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness could include health care to make it possible.  The problem is you feel it is ok to let the guy next to you die to keep another nickel and dime in your pocket,  it is actually worse than that as you are not even empowering yourself but a cancer that has bought our leaders and is systematically draining working Americans dry selling oxygen while getting insanely rich.  I see the fact free like you all the time, you think you are clever and informed.  The fact is you spit poorly thought out talking points that are not and never will be popular or attached to reality.

  28. +Red Pill I do not know what you study or where but your assertions are fact free.  In communism everyone is paid the same so graduated income tax literally makes no sense.   The central bank communist?   lol citation please. I am "putting words in your mouth" because what you do not say is much more important than what you do say.  It is telling you just ignore my objections by pretending you do not want what the eventualities of your polices represent.  The right to health care is an established right in the entire first world.  That you fight for the right to step over those dying because they can not afford care speaks to the quality of your character.  You have established what you think and the only places on the planet that do it your way are third world hell holes.  Your simplistic quasi idealistic greed based nonsense would not promote freedom at all,  it would be tyranny of the strong over the weak, the rich over the poor which is exactly what we see in the third world.  See ya ..

  29. +Red Pill  Stop with the slippery slope nonsense,  your black and white thinking is not attached to reality and implementing an any given element of the "communist manifesto" does not mean we are communist.    Progressive taxation is not communism,  taxation is not theft.  That you hate taxes does not validate your out of touch with reality assertions about it.  You accuse me of putting words in your mouth when every single assertion you make is based in an invalid premise that anyone left of you wants communism, that any idea you do not like is communist and it is not true.  The people who make more should pay more because they can afford and they reap more rewards from our living in our system.   There is nothing unfair in asking them to. That you want to further empower the rich (like they need that) is a fall out of the policy you support.  We have built a collection of the richest humans in history under our "socialist" system so your invalid concern for them is noted but has no value or legs as they are already doing really well.  If they pay a few more points in taxes on profit or have to deal with regulations that protect it has not harmed them or their rise to greater and great power.  Now if you want to talk about tax relief for the poor and those who actually work for a living spending all they have to maintain a reasonable lifestyle I am interested because that puts more money into the economy and raises the standard for everyone.    Your assertion of what a constitutional republic is has been rejected by the courts and standard practice for a long long long time.  You make claims that are just not true. You do not care about any freedom except the right to never pay taxes.  Nothing else matters to you and be it pouring poison in the river of fucking over employees to make a buck you do not see any roll in government protecting the masses from the rich assholes who make these calls.  You would hand unlimited power to a few to crush everyone else and that is no better than giving power to a communist dictatorship that rules with no interest to the citizens it represents.    You have not answered why it is good to ignore dying people to prevent "theft".   Your whole theft bullshit spin is emotional porn too except it has nothing to do with who lives or dies but appeals to greed of those who like it.   You do advocate for stepping over those who can not pay, fuck em they are poor and should have known better.  If they can not afford it then they are screwed and that is fair in your head.  As it stands for the last few decades my government has not worked for me but instead does the bidding of the highest bidder and has for a long time. The failures in our system and our ever growing income inequality attached to the collapse of the middle class built in an actual progressive era are all attached to our leaders selling out to big donors who write trade and tax policy.  This leads us to stupid pointless wars,  deciding who should run what country to make oil multinationals happy and repressing health care and education to give tax cuts to the richest people in history.   I do not think my government works for me but the answer is not hand power to the assholes who are buying them hoping for a new result.    There are places your vote matters and they universally do not support the concept of their leaders being picked by who can raise more money from the billionaires that should have no more of a vote or influence than you do. The first world nations are by no standard hell holes.  In fact ours is slipping faster into decline precisely because of the elements I outline above.  There is no example of what you want working in the modern world and until you have at least one element of data backing your spin talking about turning back the clock to the 1700's will be real tough sell to anyone that looks at what that actually means.

  30. +Red Pill I do not care because shouting down your nonsense for others has value.  As a fact free fringe dweller  pretending his ideas are popular or accepted outside a tiny minority your spin is not compelling.  I have not bought into any deception,  you have.   You literally ignore reality and the world around you to do it too. You are exactly like a theist who runs away from ideas that do not line up with yours and it speaks to the power of what you buy into.   Your views of what should happen would never survive contact with reality intact and never will see the light of day because of it.  Cheers

  31. Red Pill I do not have to put words in your mouth or misrepresent you to make your positions look bad. I do not have to redefine words or make up what you stand for to attack your positions which are consistently short sighted nonsense that if enacted would cause great harm. The fact it the government can take away program does not mean we should not have them, what it means is we should be electing those who work for us and not their donors. As this government hurts republican voters maybe they will wake up and figure out they do not care about them and are fully owned. I loathe the waste and corruption in our system so much that I am part of the fight to see it ended as feature of our system. The problem is not that we have a federal government but that we have let it turn into a pay for play system controlled by a tiny number of people interested in enriching themselves at our expense. Even people with your spin should be fighting to get the corruption of corporate campaign donations out because you should not be pro lobbyist either, especially federal lobbyists which are the root of what you hate about our system.

  32. Red Pill Half way to where? I ask that you come out of the fringes and stop misrepresenting what I am even am arguing. You want to let poor people die in enacting a system that would not help anyone but the mega rich, what am I supposed to compromise with you on that? You want to tear down the economic and tax system rolling us back into the 1700's, what middle ground can anyone sane honestly find with you? How can I meet you half way you are ruining 250 years behind me, that would put me in the 1800's. Being called short sighted by a guy who imagines the world gets more efficient when you create a 100 new bureaucracies at the state and local level instead of just one at the federal is not very compelling. Your total lack of understanding of economies of scale cripples your ideas out of the gate. Moving the functions you expect to be done at a state or local level to "give you more freedom" will exponentially increases the amount of resources required to manage them, they currently do not need to support these functions or the jobs you expect them to do. Instead of one management team at the top you now have a 100 of them duplicating all the centralized effort many times over. Instead of one rule book and office to support you have 100, etc. You exponentially increase the cost of managing services formerly handled at a federal level through a single office. The means that regions that do not have resources simply will not get services. Since you think it is a good idea to down load that to states it means some places will have the full set of resources and services one expects in a modern country and other states simply and many small towns simply will not get them freed from the tyranny of being part of a country. This is one example of many where your idealistic spin crashes against simply break down of costs and benefits. But you are the one making the claims here. You assert your system would be better and that is claim you simply can not back up. That which can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence. I am saying we should not throw the baby out with the bathwater and we still have real options before giving in and handing power to modern feudal lords like you want us to.

  33. Red Pill Bullshit, you are backwards and what you want has no analog on the planet and I have no faith based expectation it will be any better unlike you. Seriously I feel like I am talking to a child as well and your half way point means rolling us back into a third world country to enforce some idea of freedom that only means a complete evisceration of services Americans count on for no measurable gain or even asserted gain. Local/state control is a desire you have not justified as any better than what we have as I have pointed out destroying economies of scale by having a centralized system will be destroyed making every service enacted under your plan more costly to run. I don't think local and state control of health care is a good idea as it will cost far more to have 100 programs administrations instead of just one at the federal level. There is no advantage to leaving what health care people can get different from region to region and it is a licence to see the poor areas suffer. There is no halfway between me and your imaginary voluntary system which i have no expectations would work and you should not either as there are no examples lauding its success let along an improvement over what we or other nations do. You are the one who is asserting nonsense not attached to reality not me. I have living breathing examples of the working systems and ideas that I support you do not. This makes you the closed minded ideologue not me and that you do not understand the implications of your unfounded desire does not mean they do not have deep problems you blindly ignore. Spouting childish idealism not attached to reality and then calling me closed minded for not buying is is a weak charge that does not stick. You are not the adult in this room. What you want does not work and would kill people and bankrupt the system making it cost far far more. That you hate the federal government has blinded you to the fact it can be of use. That you ignore we would have the exact same problems at the local and state level and you are not solving anything with this spin skips over your head too. You have a faith based claim it will be better and all real indications do not agree. Your solutions would not help and you can not show they would. You need to stop pretending your ideas are based on education or experience as this form of system you want has not existed for over 150 years in the time before the world became mass mechanized and small. It has no place in a modern world and shredding our economic and social safety net to make you happy will do nothing but relegate us to 3rd world status. You want what every 3rd world country has, local health care that means if you community is rich you have a hospital if not you do not have one. It is not evil for local people to manage things but it takes resources to do so. If every community forms its own committees, purchasing, payroll. billing, etc, etc to oversee health care it means duplication of effort on a massive scale further increasing costs. I see literally no advantage to downloading something like health care to the local or state level if your goal is affordable or consistent care across the nation. There is literally no working system on the planet like this for a fucking reason. I don't hold my position because i love big system but I do want our system to be as efficient as possible and spend as much money on care not extra useless bureaucracy your proposal would create. Saying everything should be like the DMV overlooks that the dmv is universally considered a bureaucratic mess to deal with. It ignores the massive amount of resources each state has to put forward toward a system people universally deride as backwards and slow. I subject like health care is monumentally more complicate and expensive. That the state falls down on issuing a card so you can drive does not bode well for their handling of taking over health care for no reason you can justify outside you like the idea better. Your love of the idea of states does not mean there is not a role for the federal government. You have not validated the idea that they do a better job or that you understand the implications what you want or the downsides which you do not even seem to recognize. There are objective measurements of what is better and what is worse and that something makes your feel better is not good enough to upend our system for it. Your individual desires would see 10 of millions fall through the cracks for no gain you have outlined. You are clearly more concerned about your ideology than people. You are like Stalin who caused mass starvation because he decided he did not like the way farms were running and messed up Russia's food production to improve it to make them more in line with dogma. You would see people die to make your dream come true and I hope there is always someone like me around to oppose you and your greed based version of how things should work.

  34. Red Pill I am not misconstruing it,  I am telling you the results of your polices and you have literally no answer for what I say.   I do not think the whole country is out for themselves just the people with your spin who do not care what their stated desires would do.   Your alternatives are nothing more than an extension of your empty desires based on a dogma that by definition nothing the federal government does can be good.   The charity idea is idiocy and represents nothing more than a giant step backwards to empower the rich at the cost of everyone else.  The system you propose has never existed and does not exist because it is not workable and would not survive contact with reality intact.  Your demonstrated deep ignorance on the subjects of national programs does not make your argument anymore sound.   That you are ok with voluntary state run program means nothing to me as you are literally asking for unilateral surrender on my views and to for me to ignore my own deep and valid concerns to enact it.  This is not the middle ground,  you are asking for the whole cake, then eating it and then talking about how nice it is to compromise.  I take responsibility unlike you.  I take it not just for myself but for those who are not as well off as I am with my many advantages.   I have good health insurance and will continue to into my retirement.  My objections to our system are not about my situation but the 10's of millions of Americas many of them children who have no options.  I agrue for the 100's of thousands of American families that go bankrupt because of our greed based health care system that puts insurance companies and profit before lives.      You use "freedom" as buzz word but nothing you advocate advances freedom for anyone but robber barons.  Freedom for people to pay double for services they currently get is not freedom but robbery.   Your assertions about our federal programs not being legal are fact free as betrayed by reality.    We do have the authority to enact programs at federal level and that you do not think we do means nothing as you are talking out your ass and it is clear you are not correct as we currently have many.   Stalin was not about progressive taxation or safety nets,  they were communists where everyone made the same amount and there "were no poor" to help in his system as all were ostensibly supposed to be equal.  You do not even know what he stood for and pretending we have anything in common is droll while you are exactly the same kind dangerous ideologue who puts dogma over actual peoples lives like that monster did.   Someday you will learn what terms you use mean to those who speak English.  It will empower you to not look foolish when you talk in public.    " I'm done wasting my time with you.  You keep saying that and then coming back to spit the same nonsense.

  35. +Hank Schroeder  He can make his own choice and go bankrupt because of it because the system is not focused on providing care but making money.  Our system is not about choice at all but about an effort to enrich a handful of assholes at the expense of every consumer who cares if his family lives or dies because they have access to care.   There is nothing wrong with making money unless you have to advocate for those who can not afford your essential service to die because it is priced to high. You guys keep babbling about "more taxation" ignoring the fact you would pay half as much as you do now for the same service that covered everyone with no copay, no deductible, etc, etc, etc.  You are literally arguing to pay more and open the door to bankruptcy if heaven forbid something goes terribly wrong and you lose your coverage or someone you care about is fucked over because of preexisting conditions.   You are arguing for the worst system in the free world while spitting half wit talking points fed to you about choice when in fact you have none except to pay through the nose or die quickly once sick to spare burdening your family and friends.   Point to one system on earth where your silly ideas work on a large scale to provide a critical service, name one.  This is another fact free talking point meant to sound noble but what it really means is people will die, this is a policy that would literally kill 10's of thousands.  This voluntary bullshit  is nothing but a path to enriching the very richest at the cost of our 1st world society.  There is nothing Nobel in stepping over the sick and dying to at a little to your bottom line.   There is no where on earth your stupid service to assholes policies are in place and you have no expectation they would work any better than they do in the third world where the poor regularly die of completely preventable issues.   Enough with the childish demand of volunteerism and back up how this would work I the real world or be silent with your selfish foolish demands.  You clowns literally support overt fascists as you vote for the GOP or anyone on the right these days.   They sell sell you out the highest bidder every single day.  The establishment dems are only barely marginally better but at least they do not empower insurance companies by allowing them to cut the basic service they provide  so they can make an extra buck.  Our health system is an overt failure not because of the poor draining it (as we provide weak coverage and care for them anyway) but because we have zero cost control and as prices go up and up insurance companies just pay the bill and pass the costs onto us as it makes no difference to them and actually increases their profit margins as prices rise.   I would argue it is you and your ilk that are garbage as you fight to see your fellow citizens die because simply because they can not afford care.   You argue on behalf of your side making up what I stand for as I point out the actual results of your idiot spin.  Analysis of the situation is not your strength and if you actually did what you admonish you would find no arguments that actually back up your spin would be an improvement.  You have bought some silly spin making you sound like a moral crusader for "freedom" when you in fact preach slavery to the insurance companies and the status quo.  Even what you want is a tip of your hat to stasis as your ideas are so unworkable they will never see the light of day and the fact you by default side with the status quo empowers it. "You’re the Nazis.  You are the Stalin's and the Hitler's."   Hyperbole much? In your mind is the entire first world being run by Stalin and Hitler? Canadians, Europeans, Asians and the entire first world live under "Stalin/Hitler rule in your fevered mind?  Even you can not believe this stupid shit you spit.  The answer is no halfwit and pretending otherwise is base stupid and rejected as an idiots assertion on the face.   Call me closed minded, but I have study proposals like yours and reject them because there is no expectation they will make things any better than they are in the third world and the most backward places on the planet where what you want is the only system available.  You clowns are not connected to reality and spit talking points dreamed up in think tanks to rob you and me both.   You are the ideologues here and part of a tiny minority who as bought in the bullshit you sell.  Your analysis of the positions are as deep as rain puddle and are based on your dogma and not good results for consumers or anything that currently works let alone works well.  You literally have no reasons outside an empty appeal to faith that what you want would work let alone provide good outcomes.  I can point to the systems that are the best in the world and provide the highest quality care for the most people and you simply have no data backing your fact free assertions. It is clear you have no idea what is even being propose as you say something stupid like this: "Why in the hell would any sane person not only contribute part of their pay to their employer's private insurance company, but then also be forced to fund this "Medicare for all" through their taxes also?"  The answer is you would not longer have to get insurance from your employer as you would have options, if we paid for our health care through our taxes like the rest of the first world we would pay half of what we do not to insurance companies and everyone would be covered.   The middle man is the insurance companies that that they do nto care to control costs because they make more as they go up along with their profit motive is the root fault or our system.   I do not give a flying fuck about the insurance companies that have been selling us increasingly expensive oxygen for the last 40 years.  At best they should sell supplemental coverage to those who want it and should b e out of the primary care game as they offer zero value and the ones driving up costs for the consumer as they literally do not care how much it costs as they pass everything onto us.   So the answer to your misinformed question is you would no longer pay insurance companies for health care.  You may get dental or other coverage through work but the burden of providing health care would be lifted from business allowing them to do what they are in business to do.   I will not shed one tear for an industry that bankrupts 100 thousand Americans a year while rolling in money.  There is no such law forcing insurance to keep their rates higher as you have zero options to opt in anyway.  You are literally making shit up and I guess when you have no arguments that is what you are forced to do. We  have plenty of "competition" but no cost control and no one in it gives a fuck if you live or die as the insurance companies through a process called recidivism will work to find a way not to pay for needed care even if you have insurance.    Competition is not what makes the other systems that actually work successful and you using poorly thought out talking points as you babble about it being anything but a sloppy blow job to the status quo as you drool all over yourself.  When you ask a question as stupid as "WHY do you even need a private insurance company or government insurance IN THE FIRST PLACE" it underlines your profound lack of comprehension on how the system even works or the costs associated with it very very few people in the entire country can shoulder.  It is clear you think our system is the same as it was in the turn of the century before hospitals were expected to have million dollar mri machines or child mortality was 4s time higher than it is today.   The era you guys point to was not a golden age of medicine and people regularly died because we did not have the resources or systems or knowledge built through research (also driven by money) that cured them.   We can't do it because you can't afford your own care for anything more complicated than simple surgery.  At least no more than once.   We reject it because it is a pipe dream that ignores the costs and would mean hospitals simply could not function as you bringing in a couple chickens to pay for your health care will no longer cover it like in the good old days at the turn of the century when you dealt doc brown.  That you do not think you have an ideology does not mean you do not.   You would choose to see people die in the name of your greed and no one should let you clowns forget what you stand for even as you pretend to be moral.  I am happy to listen to ideas but listen does not mean I will capitulate to them especially when they serve no one.   You babble about those who disagree with you not being open minded as you represent the most closed minded vision there is and do not even care what your proposed policy means or who it hurts as long as it meets your faith based vision of the world.  Being lectured by the likes of you as you show you do not even know what is being debated while pretending to be morally superior as you would step over bodies is empty bullshit waved away by the sane.

  36. +Hank Schroeder  I do not and do not intend to defend that system,  it is not something I would fight for and see the many inherent systemic problems in it.  That being said you are not proposing anything reasonable that would replace it.  Our system has many inherent flaws but the largest of those flaws are mitigatable with good legislation and a leadership that works for us and not just to enrich those who own them.   We do not have to toss out everything to fix it.  That our system is founded on debt does not mean we are bankrupt to say so is either ignorant or dishonest.  The only way for something to be "unconstitutional" is for the constitution to specifically forbid it, please cite the article that makes this deeply flawed system "unconstitutional" in your mind.  If you are going to attack it attack its real failures (there are plenty) not something a clown who does not care about the facts told you.  As it stands you are acting as controlled dissent in service to assholes who are entirely greed driven as they at the ones writing these silly talking points that invalidate your otherwise valid concerns, minimizing them.      The gold or silver standards time has come and gone, there is not enough gold on the planet to cover the money we currently have printed so the idea of the gold standard fixing everything is nonsense.  That our (and the planets) monetary system is flawed does not mean you can demand we replace it with something that will not work.   In the time of the founding fathers there was actual slavery so the idea that the gold standard somehow prevents economic slavery is not well thought out as both economic and actual slavery were rife in that time.  Rich land owners controlled a large percentage of the wealth of the country coupled with no regulations to protect workers or consumers.   The people of that era much more economically indentured and far poorer,  they were arguably more slaves to their landowners and employers than we are today even with a gold standard in place.  Just like the founders intended us to amend our constitution perhaps they did not want us running with the monetary system conceived of before industrialization for forever.   Honestly, I am not really sure what the system that should be in place is and have seen several proposals.   But if you are going to advocate for changing it as your main thing then pick something better thought out than demanding the gold standard which only makes you look clueless.

  39. Dave Smith Weak on issues? He was rock solid on issues and Hillary lost the election because she was weak and the GOP is not only weak but destructive. He supported his own party over the overt cancer of trump and that you pretend that is selling out while ignoring the entire GOP got on its knees for trump after saying they hated him marks your spin as empty nonsense. He forced the DNC to its most progressive platform in history and has caused a seismic shift away form the cancer of corporate money that they were beholden to. Ignoreing this fact because you talked to a delegate does not change any of these facts.

  40. Move to somolia .. that is the kind of freedom you crave.  We are not becoming a 3rd world hell hole despite what you want.

  41. +Red Pill  I am comparing what you claim to want to Somalia and it is apt.   We are clearly not Somalia but if you had your way we would be nearly identical.   Your polices are the ones that are shared by the third world hell holes you point at.  My policies are the ones applied to the richest most freedom loving first world countries on the planet.  Move to Somalia and see how well your non statist system works for them and you may then be reticent on dumping it on us after.  Have a great day too.

  42. So without any money at the state level or any system that connects all of them each would be as effectively ruled as Somalia is. Nothing exists in a vacuum and is not because the ideas and tech necessary do not exist in Somalia that is backwards it is that no one coordinates them and local resources are limited in what they can take care of. Your pipe dream is and its effectiveness in the modern world is a faith based assertion that is not borne out by reality. Translating functions done by one group to be duplicated in many is not only inefficient but will ensure many functions fall through the cracks making us ever more like the model of Somalia. I get it you hate a federal government but the fact is the states have the exact same issues only compounded because they do not have the always have the resources necessary to do what is necessary. Please understand you have not demonstrated I lack any knowledge. I completely know what you buy into, I simply reject it as dishonest and not attached to reality.

  43. You are not honestly trying to compare the economic conditions of 250 years ago to now are you?  Don't call me uninformed as you apply this spin.  In those days we did not operate as a country in the sense we do today,  no country did.  There is no country in the history of humanity that did what we did in the mid 1900's with our statist ways and we changed the standard of societies forever in that period.  Pretending that fact does not exist and we can go back to how we ran things in the late 1700's is ridiculously out of touch.   We already have things that govern themselves and we call them countries.  You still want to hand power to the state only this makes you different from what I want by  single level of government meaning your "country" is much smaller and therefor has less resources than mine with no other advantage.  The power house blue states cover the red ones anyway and so if we were to go it on your own the red states would look like good old Somalia much faster.   If you think 50 little countries would work better than one big one then I do not know how to help you.  That you do not understand ideas like economies of scale  and the many critical things federal government does reduces the weight of your argument.  The federal government does send resources from state to state,  it is telling the 10 poorest states that take more than they gave are all red.   So much for the success of free market principles your ideas you are based on.

  44. Dan Dimit You would rather others die .. that is the truth of it. Your morality is in real question as you step over bodies to suit a principle that enriches insurance companies at the cost of lives.

  45. Mr B Do ask Canada, A study just released about Canadian health care has 85.2 percent aged 15 years and older reported being ‘very satisfied’ or ‘somewhat satisfied’ with the way overall health care services were provided, unchanged from 2005. What are you basing your claims on?

  46. Statistic189 This spin that it will increase the debt is not attached to reality. We already pay more than double what other first world countries pay for the same service. We literally can not afford not to go single payer if we want to be able to afford the insurance we all need.

  47. MordredTheMightyMetalhead If you think they are fighting for you or anything to do with health care that will help you then you are not paying attention to what Trump is actually doing. His is consistent liar and is about health care too, a quick look at his policy confirms this.

  48. Mr B I am not making up numbers. But if anecdotes are what you value I have family in Canada and know they like their system far more than anyone around me here likes ours. For critical issues they wait no more than a normal person with insurance here and they pay far less than we do in every situation. The number of Canadians paying to get critical care in the States because of waiting times is infinitesimal, it is you who is misrepresenting numbers.

  49. He speaks to a group of halfwits when calls Bernie a communist. He looks insane to almost everyone except a special brand of stupid who parrots the same garbage.

  50. It is nice to see her act contrarian on something that makes sense in attacking Trump. Does not change her nature as Trash.
