1. Ultimately republicans want people to die somehow

Whether by starvation or some illness.

Democrats should have understood this from the start. Start from there before bothering to fight, because you’re likely to lose anyway. Just prepare your voters that you’re embarking on a futile effort.

2. Optimistic to frame it as an "either or" rather than the "neither nor" it will be soon enough.

Repugs are just getting started.

5. First starve people. Then take away healthcare.

It is a nice gestapo one two punch.

3. It seems to me that the health insurance payments

will generally go up two or three times as much as the SNAP benefits were, but there are far more people on SNAP.

It is very difficult to deal with a hostage taker when they genuinely want to kill their hostage.

4. The choice has been made: death by lack of medical care instead of starvation.

7. That assumes

that SNAP payments will resume.

That's not guaranteed. Remember, we are in a post-rules and norms society.

Republicans don't actually adhere to either of those things.

8. Good point. The GOP lies like other people breathe.

And their cruelty has no limits.

6. Wealthiest country in the world. Both are equally important.

Choosing to kill the poor or the sick and elderly is not a choice we should be considering. And there's no real reason for us to have to consider either.

9. Well "THERE'S RICHES TO BE AMASSED!!!"

And we're not important.
