Senator asks for CBO score of Sanders's single-payer bill

[GaryCnf]

109. You can spin all you want FRIEND, it won't work

The OP specifically pushed JOHN BARRASSO'S attempt to discredit this bill with the CBO and my excerpted response does nothing but prove that it was JOINING REPUBLICANS that I attacked.

AND your complete and utter failure to find ANY criticism of the CBO from me PROVES IT.

Thank you for reminding everyone.

And no, you didn't mention what I said . . . that's exactly how straw man arguments work.

Finally, friend, you're part of the party is most definitely not black

I AM BLACK. Something you would know even if I posted in a silent thread, if you knew 1/1000 of what you think you know about politics.

You're part of the party is the one which uses people who look like me as a prop; implying (back when centrists thought Corey Booker and Kamala Harrris would just toe the centrist line) that people who voiced honest policy differences with Corey Booker over drug re-importation or Kamala Harris over civil forfeiture were doing so because of their race. You're part of the party is the one that was then willing to throw Kamala Harris and Corey Booker (not just supporters, but co-sponsors, of Medicare for All) under the bus by attempting to stereotype them and everyone else supporting the bill as not merely pushing what it considers bad policy, but as "lack[ing] planning or logic," or "thriving on ignorance," or "not knowing how policies are constructed."

Since you were as quick to call a mid-60 y.o. black man a "dixiecrat" as you were to call supporters of Medicare for All (which includes Senator Harris and Senator Booker) "people who 'lack planning or logic,' or 'thrive on ignorance,' or 'not knowing how policies are constructed,'" I'll let you pick the name that should be used to describe the Democrats who so denigrate Kamala, Corey, myself, and the rest of the millions of Democrats who see this as not merely good policy, but good politics.
