(39,909 posts)Honest Discussion of Policy is going to kill Team Spirit?
I have found that open, honest discussion BUILDS Team Spirit.
An HONEST evaluation of losses and victories,
and an honest and open discussion of the fights we still have before us keeps it real.
Everybody KNOWS when the Pep Rally is a thin veneer based on wishful thinking.
This IS a Discussion Board,
and if honest and open discussion of Democratic Party Policy
"discourages turnout",
then there is something WAY more WRONG with our Party than my posts on an internet discussion board.
I see you have STILL not been able to summon the courage to respond to my challenges:
1)Specifically WHERE in the ACA is this foundation that we can build upon to move us closer to Publicly Owned Government Administered Non-Profit National Health Insurance.
Medicare and Social Security established the foundations of Publicly Owned Government Administered Programs that were easy to build upon, and became the cornerstones of the modern Democratic Party.
How is Mandating that everyone BUY Health Insurance from For Profit Corporations a "step" in that direction?
This IS a step toward the Privatization of Health Care in America.
2) I never claimed that the ACA won't "save" anybody,
only that the cost of saving the hostages by surrendering to the terrorists is too high.
Do you have the courage to honestly examine WHAT has been given away to the For Profit Health Insurance Cartel to save the hostages?
It is NEVER as Black vs White as you have painted the situation.
It was NEVER surrender to the Republicans OR the hostages die.
There were and are other avenues that would have had better outcomes for the American People.
There were and are Democratic Party Ways we could have saved the hostages AND taken a step in the right direction.
