I just don't take the bait to give someone an opening to equate anyone who has an opinion (or access to facts) that doesn't match theirs lockstep with "defending the undefendable." I don't think that's asking for an opinion as much as setting up someone as a punching bag on which to blow off steam and "validate" one's view that one is a lone voice of morality on a given topic to oneself. Not a request for information as much as an opportunity to demonstrate yet again why one's own opinions are far more informed and moral.

I saw enough of that with anti-Hillary bros swarming any discussion of her on social media in 2016, and it's just tiresome now.

If you had any real interest in the "why" you might have googled and found other surveys. Clearly you did not.

Go rant at a brick wall if you need to rant or 'splain. This is a discussion board.



But if you are really about answering questions, especially about MFA, why is Bernie suddenly changing gears, promoting keeping the filibuster and passing bills through reconciliation, when his new MFA bill is not designed for reconciliation? What do you think of Jon Walker, the author of your source on the CBO scoring concerning health care policy saying on twitter, that this is "bizarre" and "Link to tweet
" target="_blank">truly incoherent?"

Can you provide evidence where Jon Walker is wrong on this, if you think that he is?
