Bernie Sanders Is Building An Army To Stop Trumpcare Dead In Its Tracks In The Senate

[beam me up scottie]

39. That's a real nice collection of straw men! It looks oddly familiar...

You actually think it was all Bernie and his rallies?

Can you point out where I said that? I just re-read my post and I don't see it.

Thanks in advance.

He attacked a pro-choice House candidate

Except Bernie didn't attack anyone. He simply said he didn't know if the house candidate was a progressive. Unless you define attack differently than I do that doesn't qualify.

If you want to see Bernie actually attack someone check out what he has to say about Trump. He doesn't exactly mince words.

If you're voting for someone who is actively working to deny you live saving medical care, holding your nose doesn't fly.

I wouldn't vote for someone like that, I specifically referred to a person with a mixed record so that's another straw man. I also wasn't aware that the candidate he endorsed was ACTIVELY working to deny me lifesaving care. In fact I believe Mello vowed to support our right to choose. He's not ideal but yes, I would vote for him over the Republican.

Also, what exactly is Bernie doing to defend the ACA? I'd like to know, all I see is vague allusions to something, no actual specifics.

You're free to Google his name and the ACA, there's plenty of articles available for those who haven't been keeping up. He's doing as much as anyone on our side can do at this point.

Also, medicare for all is a nice catch phrase, but it's not really the best form of Single Payer, I think we can get there but we need to fix what's wrong right now with the ACA, actually defend it, and then do what the Republicans have failed to do: come up with a workable, well thought out plan to get to Single Payer.

Actually it is the best form and many in the House and Senate finally agree with us. It's also possible to fight for the ACA and propose something better at the same time - like Medicare for all. Just ask Bernie or John Conyers.

This needs discussion, the pom poms and the somersaults get in the way

What is this strange obsession with pom poms and somersaults? Are you a cheerleader or something?

In the meantime, how about joining us in the Indivisible groups, the Resistance, and the numerous other groups that don't attend rallies and don't need to be "inspired" by a rehashed campaign speech.

I've probably been a member of the Resistance longer than you have, and since I've been a member longer I can assure you that's another straw man.

We don't need anyone to inspire us but it certainly doesn't hurt to have a loud progressive firebrand shouting encouragement and leading the way.

Thanks Bernie! Keep your comfortable shoes on, we're going to need them!

We don't have birds landing on us, and we're better groomed

Personally I'm a big fan of Einstein and others whose 'grooming' wasn't quite up to some folks' high standards either but then again I prefer substance over style. Frumpy suits and messy hair don't bother me in the least.

And the bird incident was kind of cool although I had forgotten all about it until just now. I really wish people would get over the primaries.
