In reply to the discussion: Pelosi declines to endorse Single Payer bill [View all]ehrnst
(32,640 posts)Was a strawman of epic proportions
"Pelosi knows they are playing politics with this bill.
When nothing happens with it, the biggest name attached will be considered the failure.
It shouldn't be about getting sponsors. This bill isn't going to pass. It's about getting the message out that single payer isn't scary"
And then ZX86 replied "So you consider John Conyers a failure?"
I was responding to his outsized strawman with a statement that his Single Payer legislation failed - because that's not the same thing as "personal failure."
You have a knee jerk impulse to 'splain and contradict anything I post, even if it means calling a strawman a Vegas Showgirl.
You overreacted, and now you are trying to save face.
I expect another "but you said something that means I WAS RIGHT!!!!" post in 3....2....1.....
