I agree 100% with what you’re saying. But I’ll also add that for a lot of liberals in particular, Obama was quite the letdown. All the hope and change he was promising went pretty quickly by the wayside when he chose his cabinet and we got the same ol’ assholes like Geithner. None of the Democrats, from the…

It’s wild to me that folks consistently pretend that democrats don’t need the left vote to win. That the tactic seems to be over and over to tell leftists that they’re not interested in compromising on left desires but instead leftists need to vote democrat or else demonstrates how little these folks think of what is…

It wasn’t just liberal members who lost their seats in the last big Republican wave in 2010; it was mostly the conservative Democrats who voted against the Affordable Care Act and stymied Barack Obama’s relatively liberal agenda at every turn.

Ha, yes. And gee guys, it isn’t like there is a really important election coming up anytime soon and a unified front behind the strongest candidates and platforms is, you know, a good idea or anything.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

Probably because he isn’t constantly taking shots at other elected representatives from his own party during press conferences and interviews.

It’s almost like the cries about “circular firing squads” were never about the left eating their own and were always about the party elites once again trying to silence challenges from their left flank.

She’s literally saying they will vote for a glass of water as long as it’s a Democrat.  How’s that not an insult to a voter?

And Pelosi isn’t just insulting AOC, she insulting everyone who voted for AOC.

The lie is in pretending that the final election was the victory for AOC. The fact that she beat an establishment democrat (and long time friend of Pelosi’s) in the primary is the big deal. The district she won is all about the primary and that was a HUGE victory for progressives in America. 

Except your last paragraph has been countered by leadership with the new DCCC rules, which effectively helps to keep in place moderate-conservative Democrats in progressive districts. It’s almost like leadership doesn’t want the party to move left because they are beholden to the same powerful interests as…

Industries are disrupted and replaced all the time in capitalism. When it happens in a way that creates a Rockefeller or a Bezos its called progress and no one focuses on the failed industries left behind. 

I mean, you said it right there: “an industry based on profiting from the suffering of others.” If we can change that, I would think we have a moral imperative to do so.

You know, I was looking for recent figures, and couldn’t find them, but here’s what I know. Big, floppy insurers like United Healthcare, which is a conglomerate and siphons folks off of Medicare and recently bailed on covering Obamacare, pay out between 55% (USHealthcare) and upper-80's % (many Blue Cross plans) of…

Let’s be fair to this guy. He’s correct in that it would cause chaos throughout a whole industry. A fuckton of people would lose their jobs, and not just overpaid corporate overlords like him. A lot of investors would take it in the ass, and not just big name investors but people with 401k and other retirement…

Why the fuck should I listen to a person who makes money off of people not getting their paid health insurance by denying them the coverage?

Or like how I can’t afford to actually see my doctor for anything other than a yearly physical?

Medicare for All would entail “wholesale disruption of American health care [that] would surely jeopardize the relationship people have with their doctors

I'd take horny over hateful any day.

Did the .gif not load on your screen, or something? Because that thing is real weird and super suggestive all by itself, without anyone being horny.
