Democratic Primaries
Related: About this forumCan I say something about health care?
The policy of whoever we nominate really doesnt matter.
The whole thing will have to be hashed out in Congress anyway.
The important thing is theyre all headed in the right direction.
This is a debate for next year. Its pointless right now.

(23,302 posts)on right now. Kidding aside, everybody on that stage has what it takes to beat the motherfucker in the White House. With the possible exception of Bloomberg. I dont think he was up for it tonight. He was outmaneuvered more than a few times.

(86,520 posts)But I hope he still keeps up with the attack ads, especially in the General. That should give him time to cool off after this Vegas style road rash!
I think it's Ladies' Night in Vegas myself. Both are strong and I think they will do well, they've been in the trenches and talking to women of color who come form cultures that value women more than this one does.

(23,302 posts)I was glad to see a few of them come to each others defense a time or two. The whole thing exhausted me.

(2,041 posts)Its very simple, we all want to do something about it and they dont care.
And in fact, they actively support those who are killing us.
Then move on to Trump and terrible R policies generally.
Rinse repeat on every issue really.

(2,041 posts)It seems to be a political loser right now though
I would start with a strong public option aka buy in to Medicare and a strong push on pharmaceutical costs.
Those two would put downward pressure on all premiums and eventually the private companies wont even want to compete anymore
And there you have it...

(2,041 posts)Incentives for hospitals to go non profit
Amend the ACA to allow people to switch to the PO even if they have other access
A Dem Administration will of course support health care expansion rather than using public resources to fight it in court

(2,041 posts)I was having a little mull last week about what if Pete won the nomination. I think hed be smart to take Warren as his VP and could make her an offer she couldnt refuse.
It goes on to what would the dream cabinet be. Joe for SOS. Kamala for AG. Warren working on domestic policy with Senate majority leader Klobuchar.
What do you think?
