7. What a shame that

Sun Sep 17, 2017, 11:46 AM

Sep 2017

so many beloved Democratic senators have shown themselves to be so easily fooled by signing on to this bill. What a shame they can't think for themselves. (I.e. Harris, Franken, Warren, Booker, etc.) We should definitely not be supporting future runs of these people considering they've proven that "it's all about them."

Bernie Sanders - saving ACA is first priority [View all] Arazi Sep 2017 OP

Looks like Bernie is feeling the heat from comradebillyboy Sep 2017 #1

He explicitly said the same thing during his Medicare for All roll out Arazi Sep 2017 #3

Then why push a bill which has zero possibility of happening tymorial Sep 2017 #5

What a shame that Glamrock Sep 2017 #7

I don't believe I said any of that tymorial Sep 2017 #8

Agreed Glamrock Sep 2017 #12

I disagree with what they did...they are all running for president...and I would not vote any of Demsrule86 Sep 2017 #66

It does generate excitement which the Dem party desperately needs now Arazi Sep 2017 #9

It will generate criticism...already it begins...with the CBO scoring...next Demsrule86 Sep 2017 #67

He isn't seriously pushing that bill. JI7 Sep 2017 #10

Yes, it's a gamble mountain grammy Sep 2017 #19

And the millions that lose healthcare? I guess they don't matter in this 'quest'? Demsrule86 Sep 2017 #68

"Do as I say, not as I do." He should have delayed his roll-out for 2 weeks pnwmom Sep 2017 #28

It is basically a replacement bill. It should not have been rolled out. Demsrule86 Sep 2017 #69

Medicare for all is essentially a replacement plan for the ACA...why would anyone think it is a Demsrule86 Sep 2017 #63

He's very much in tune with the people he is leading, and feeling no heat. It's not the first time Autumn Sep 2017 #4

What is everyone's beef with Bernie? Eriez Sep 2017 #11

It's just the "No we can't!" crowd who doesn't want to admit Bernie Quixote1818 Sep 2017 #14

Aren't Pelosi bashers still bashing her for saying exactly this just recently? BlancheSplanchnik Sep 2017 #15

Yep. nt SunSeeker Sep 2017 #21

😡. Sounds like misogyny to me. n/t BlancheSplanchnik Sep 2017 #41

Ayup. Geez, I started noticing it, and being outraged, when I was in early elementary school. BlancheSplanchnik Sep 2017 #60

Good. NT Adrahil Sep 2017 #16

Good to know. nt SunSeeker Sep 2017 #20

Except that he didn't say that at all. ucrdem Sep 2017 #24

Implied. n/t crosinski Sep 2017 #25

In the entire series he doesn't mention the ACA once. ucrdem Sep 2017 #27

Demonstrably wrong Arazi Sep 2017 #29

That's from July 3. Today is September 17. nt ucrdem Sep 2017 #30

Oh look, another one (of the hundreds of times he's mentioned the ACA by name on social media) Arazi Sep 2017 #32

Cute. Moving of goalposts. You said he was averse to saying "ACA" Arazi Sep 2017 #34

Is there another health care program that the Republicans are going to vote on Autumn Sep 2017 #45

Yes. His own. That's the only "health insurance" mentioned in the entire feed. ucrdem Sep 2017 #46

You believe McConnell will bring Sanders' bill up for a vote??!! Arazi Sep 2017 #48

If you're suggesting that the feed is misleading, I won't object. nt ucrdem Sep 2017 #49

Strange last I knew Bernie's Medicare for All doesn't cover millions of people yet and as far as I Autumn Sep 2017 #52

That is not the point...he should have at least mentioned the ACA. Demsrule86 Sep 2017 #70

The current R bill he's referencing is Graham Cassidy Arazi Sep 2017 #26

Nowhere does he say "saving ACA is first priority" or even mention the ACA. ucrdem Sep 2017 #33

Lol, nobody's fooled. Carry on Arazi Sep 2017 #35

How about a link? Demsrule86 Sep 2017 #64

You're correct. (It's disappointing.) NurseJackie Sep 2017 #37

Thanks. Just another day in #fakenewsworld I guess. nt ucrdem Sep 2017 #40

Oh please, it's crystal clear what Sanders is talking about. white_wolf Sep 2017 #42

Yes it is. He's talking about his own legislation. Period. ucrdem Sep 2017 #44

The tweet that was quoted referenced 'yet another disastrous Republican proposal' white_wolf Sep 2017 #47

The problem is that he fails to mention the ACA. I think we've established that. ucrdem Sep 2017 #50

Whatever, it's crystal clear what he is talking about. white_wolf Sep 2017 #51

Glad to see this. riversedge Sep 2017 #31

I'd like to hear more voices backing ACA - better happen FAST flamingdem Sep 2017 #58

The ACA just needs full funding for improvement at this point. crosinski Sep 2017 #61

of course we need a bill to fix some things...that is what we needed...we didn't need a Demsrule86 Sep 2017 #65

Actually, we don't. crosinski Sep 2017 #71
