Ponies and unicorns SHRED Sep 2017 #1

Well, he's not a Democrat, ya know. He even said so himself. pangaia Sep 2017 #2

*GASP!* liberalnarb Sep 2017 #3

Just for clarity... moriah Sep 2017 #12

I must say, it is a pleasure to hear a rational, well thought out exposition. pangaia Sep 2017 #19

I think the far greater detriment of the Big Tent is the Republicans who infiltrated it. HughBeaumont Sep 2017 #21

Go talk to Jill Stein and that loser Sarandon...they are the reason we don't have a public option Demsrule86 Sep 2017 #24

Wow, THAT'S not a ridiculous and brazen revising of history or anything . . . HughBeaumont Sep 2017 #25

Those 8 were in cahoots with Stein, Nader, and Sarandon. Voltaire2 Sep 2017 #49

Susan Sarandon is now a public official? CherokeeFiddle Sep 2017 #55

Joke fail. Sorry. Voltaire2 Sep 2017 #59

Extreme Leftits Deep Stake!! HughBeaumont Sep 2017 #66

It's what Susan Sarandon wanted. Just LOOK at how giddy and animated she is... NurseJackie Sep 2017 #30

We would not have a public option right now regardless of WHO was president. pangaia Sep 2017 #40

Why not? We likely would have taken the Senate...it would have been a 'fix' for the ACA. Demsrule86 Sep 2017 #43

You've always hated Bernie! Chasstev365 Sep 2017 #53

Susan Sarandon? What? CherokeeFiddle Sep 2017 #54

I hope I made it clear that I don't think Bernie is a bad guy. moriah Sep 2017 #28

Maybe it should go to prove that . . . HughBeaumont Sep 2017 #71

My personal take, being a resident? moriah Sep 2017 #74

Who are you referring to, when you say Republicans who have infiltrated? (nt) ehrnst Sep 2017 #67

Stop being deliberately obtuse. HughBeaumont Sep 2017 #72

So you can't name actual real individuals? ehrnst Sep 2017 #73

You can only identify "progressives" as the supposed source of all Democratic problems. HughBeaumont Sep 2017 #75

I guess not. ehrnst Sep 2017 #77

Fine, but the ends do not justify the means. ucrdem Sep 2017 #4

That is a role he hasn't played, but if it does squeak by, you will say he did. The logic is JCanete Sep 2017 #6

Whether CG passes comes down to a few senators with their fingers in the wind. ucrdem Sep 2017 #7

having nothing to do with Sanders promoting Medicare for all. Nothing. Nobody has forgotten how JCanete Sep 2017 #9

Sorry, that's as simple as it gets. ucrdem Sep 2017 #10

? You made no case at all. Somehow promoting medicare for all makes the republicans think JCanete Sep 2017 #11

No, everybody doesn't know it's shitty. If the electorate was well-informed we wouldn't be in this ucrdem Sep 2017 #14

I strenuously object. chwaliszewski Sep 2017 #18

There has been a serious investment here in the theory Voltaire2 Sep 2017 #52

Sen. Sander's bill gives them cover. Demsrule86 Sep 2017 #58

Exactly. And I think you're probably right about the set-up. ucrdem Sep 2017 #64

I am hoping he rises to the occasion...Graham is a sneaky bastard who pretends to be moderate... Demsrule86 Sep 2017 #68

No, he would have played a role by even introducing it. Demsrule86 Sep 2017 #44

I Still don't see it, and whether it passes or not, I certainly disagree that there will be no JCanete Sep 2017 #51

It has nothing to do with the American people. It is about providing those GOP wavering senators Demsrule86 Sep 2017 #60

and if the bill is voted down does Bernie get the credit? pangaia Sep 2017 #20

Not from me, I feel he endangered the ACA by passing MFA during the attempt to save the ACA. Demsrule86 Sep 2017 #45

Let me see if I have this straight? You're blaming Bernie for what ONLY republicans are trying to onecaliberal Sep 2017 #26

Thank you CherokeeFiddle Sep 2017 #56

If bernie turns out to having played a 'small role,' or even a large role, pangaia Sep 2017 #41

One game at a time Awsi Dooger Sep 2017 #5

I have no problem with that, but... Akoto Sep 2017 #8

And the OP was altered on. Duppers Sep 2017 #15

There is such a thing as chewing gum LiberalLovinLug Sep 2017 #16

when? I hear much about single payer (bad timing) and about murdercare (good job), Demsrule86 Sep 2017 #23

Yep... UNFAIRLY attacking Democrats uponit7771 Sep 2017 #69

There apparently a big sale on them somewhere. ehrnst Sep 2017 #70

He offers the moon, but doesn't know how to build a rocket to get there. PubliusEnigma Sep 2017 #27

Neither did JFK. Didn't stop him from aiming there Arazi Sep 2017 #29

JFK didn't pretend that getting to the moon would be easy or that it could happen in one fell swoop PubliusEnigma Sep 2017 #32

Link me to where Bernie said achieving MFA will be easy Arazi Sep 2017 #33

But JFK went to the experts and didn't launch it until the time was right. Demsrule86 Sep 2017 #62

The pearl clutching around here over what I thought were core Democratic values ZX86 Sep 2017 #34

MFA is not a core Democratic value. Universal coverage is...and it can take different forms. I do Demsrule86 Sep 2017 #47

So you don't have anything to contribute other than naysaying, vague generalizations ZX86 Sep 2017 #57

MFA is a vague generalization with no chance of passing...I on the other hand have a plan. Demsrule86 Sep 2017 #61

I know, really. LWolf Sep 2017 #37

I love this post! I mean how on earth do you argue with this? Quixote1818 Sep 2017 #42

No one objects to that goal... at least no one here... Adrahil Sep 2017 #46

that's not true. Voltaire2 Sep 2017 #48

You will never convince people especially those with work coverage to throw it aside and embrace Demsrule86 Sep 2017 #63
