    It's not just that she misspoke, but that in so doing she missed a chance to help working people, namely, by pointing out that stagnant wages are the leading economic problem today. If she wanted to get an A, she could have suggested that we need laws to empower workers in negotiations and need laws to increase unionization.

    That would have been a better answer.

    Everyone has Gary Johnson Aleppo moments, lets see if she gets better, the spot light landed on her very fast after her win, so is not surprising that she would make some errors, if she learns then ok, if she doubles down then she is trump like.

    Trump would make calling her an “Indian” mainstream

    The $32T narrative ignores that under the current system and with the same parameters, it comes out to ~$49T.

    “Republicans don’t object to single payer because it’s expensive, because compared to what we have now, it isn’t. Their objection is philosophical.”

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/blog...umbest-criticism-of-single-payer-health-care/

    The lobby is fighting for that $17T difference. Genius of them to frame it as a “freedom” vs “SOCIALISM” matter.

    That is what they do. They argue on emotion and culture. It is like religion stuff as this Podcaster and former Jehovah's Witness said, religion teaches you to lie to the heart not to the mind. Don't give them something complex, just yell Freedom to chose and socialism. Not that we are talking about people filing bankruptcy or choosing between food and cancer treatment. Frankly, i never understood why each dem didnt do an ad from one of those fundraisers for "Joe who has cancer" at a bar. Bring it home to people that way.

    Made me look.

    I'm pretty sure Fox And Friends uses those highly scientific Twitter polls, too. Kinda reminds me of the early days of bigsoccer when the website of a small town newspaper or TV station would post a "what's your favorite sport" poll and bigsoccer would insure that it was in fact soccer.

    So Fox rigged a survey to make Bernie look good?

    Despite the heavily biased way the question was framed and the socialism narrative that FOX uses around anything to do with Bernie, FOX’s right wing viewers still voted overwhelmingly in favour.

    Bernie would have won!!

    Single payer has to be able to drive down the cost of labor (the USA has the best paid doctors in the developed world), lower the cost of drugs (USA accounts for over 50% of new chemical drugs), and lower administrative overhead.

    “And” in this sentence is wrong.

    Alyssa Milano’s tweet about greens. :rolleyes:

    Even if you flipped all the green votes it wouldn’t have mattered.

    The bigger issue for Dems isn’t the Greens or Russia. It’s getting people motivated enough to go vote! Obviously #ButTrump isn’t enough!!

    Apparently your prospective in competing in a R+11 gerrymandered district was lost in the mail. Would you like me to look for one for you on Amazon?

    Pat Tiberi usually won that district 65-35. Balderson may not win in November. May not win the special, tbh - although likely.

    What do you mean when you say Dems have a problem getting people to vote?
