    2016 if it wasn't for any collusion.

    He wasn't going to beat Trump, either. You fratboys should have voted for Hillary instead of trying to hipster your way to the WH.

    Need a laugh emoji for your ideas

    Wasn't the Unabomber a college professor at one time? Prep school kid was only a college student.

    Wholeheartedly disagree. Clinton was a typical corporate Democrat that no one was excited about. Bernie Sanders had a following that loved what he was trying to do.

    I voted for Hillary, was excited to do so too. This notion that she's a typical corporate Dem is just lefty nonsense. Only people who hated her were hard leftists ("I'm not voting for her because she's a neoliberal!" whatever that means and that was verbatim what someone I know said) and the usual right wingers.

    I agree with Sanders on some things, but even when I thought it was remotely possible he could win Presidency, I still voted for Hillary and Biden in their respective primaries. Mainly out of pragmatism. The people he's endorsed for instance, have had tendencies to be problematic. It's why I'm skeptical of one of the Detroit mayoral candidates, she stumped for Bernie.

    Anyway, there's an annoying tendency for people to relitigate 2016 (In soccer terms, the ball bounced all over the place) and online I'm starting to see it for 2020.

    No, I'm just not blinded by hate like you seem to be.

    And?

    Complete bullshit. AARP does not promote UHC products on it's website. If you go to the Medciare Plan Finder it sends you to the medicare.gov website where all carriers plans are shown. No favoritism to UHC.



    It's not a radical view but it is not based in fact. Medicare Advantage plans offer the same exact coverage as staying on Original Medicare with a Medicare Supplement. Exactly the same. Only difference is when you pay for service, through monthly premium or as co-pays at the time of service. People that think otherwise are simply uninformed or harbor some kind of unhealthy bias they should probably seek therapy for.

    AARP has a marketing agreement with UHC. Their endorsement of all UHC Medicare products is based on the reality that UHC plans have been historically the most stable and the MA plans offer the ability to find network providers nationwide.

    Simply, UHC has the best Medicare products.

    Toying with burning my AARP card in protest. Probably won't since the material covering the cardboard might trigger an air-quality alert in my living room.

    For two years at Berkeley (which is what leads illiterates to assume he was a left wing whacko). Then he bailed to go off grid.

    He couldn't even win the nom. Whatever about collusion- he couldn't win the nom. Like the rest of us, his bros were supposed to be afraid enough of Trump to vote HRC. But they thought their privilege could help them weather the storm, and they don't care about saving POCs.

    He didn't win the nomination because the party put their foot on the scale to tip it in Hilary's direction.

    This.

    Doesn't matter why. If the Bernie Bros stayed home on Election Day 2016 and left ME to swing fron a stout oak limb because their Messiah hadn't built a coalition to support his candidacy, that's on them.

    Maybe he SHOULD have gone to Penn. Fewer folks would be dead, and the dead would be more deserving of their fate.

    Actually it is Harvard (maybe Stanford) he should not have gone to. He was part of a messed up psychology experiment that might have caused him to break with reality.

    The more you know~ from Wikipedia

    Psychological study
    In his second year at Harvard, Kaczynski participated in a study led by Harvard psychologist Henry Murray. Subjects were told they would debate personal philosophy with a fellow student and were asked to write essays detailing their personal beliefs and aspirations. The essays were given to an anonymous individual who would confront and belittle the subject in what Murray himself called "vehement, sweeping, and personally abusive" attacks, using the content of the essays as ammunition.[24] Kaczynski spent 200 hours as part of the study.[25]

    Kaczynski's lawyers later attributed his hostility towards mind control techniques to his participation in Murray's study.[24] Kaczynski stated he resented Murray and his co-workers, primarily because of the invasion of his privacy he perceived as a result of their experiments. Nevertheless, he said he was "quite confident that [his] experiences with Professor Murray had no significant effect on the course of [his] life".[26]

    Was listening to a Radiolab pod a few years ago on a messed up psychology experiment and they mentioned Ted was in the experiment.
