KRUGMAN: "a simple, straightforward single-payer system just isn’t going to happen"

69. And that is the same line of bullshit the 'civil unions are all that is possible' bigots pushed

All they wanted was to prevent us from having equality. The whole 'change is slow and we must be pragmatic, it will take generations to get to marriage, take what we can get now'.
They were wrong and they knew it, their objective was not to gain equality but to reject it in favor of some fucked up half measure that would allow them to continue felling superior. Sick of the bullshit those folks vend.

The people who preach what you preach are just looking for reasons to delay change because the way things are serve them just fine. Who preached gradualism on marriage rights? Straight people who were already married. Hillary, who opposed marriage equality in favor of half measures is currently using her own status as long time married person as a calling card, she did not see fit to allow people like me to marry, make families and become grandparents but she does not hesitate to claim that her being a Grandmother is a reason to vote for her. She brings up her own status, the very status she denied to me aggressively, in the name of 'pragmatic incremental God in the mix Sanctity' or whatever string of words straight religious hypocrites used that week.
