Maybe. Or maybe it was the failure of African-American voters. Or union voters. Or Hispanic voters. Or lower income voters. It’s strange how such an awesome candidate could have so many different groups at which they could point the finger for their inability to beat the biggest idiot who has ever run for President on…

So the PUMAs actions don’t absolve people who did the same thing they did (in much smaller numbers than the PUMAs) because the PUMAs favorite candidate was so much worse than the candidate the PUMAs “betrayed”?

He’s not choosing to slack off or not prepare for debates. He’s physically incapable of doing any better. Biden is clearly showing signs of impairment to his short term memory and his ability to articulate his thoughts. These aren’t “gaffes”. They’re symptoms of a medical problem. Considering what he’s been like in…

If feels like someone has engaged in purposeful chicanery to prevent Warren and Biden sharing a debate stage. Warren would be able to absolutely blast Biden on a (relatively) recent action he took which demolishes Biden’s arguments about the awesomeness of bipartisanship AND that Biden is the guy for hardworking…

I think that’s an interesting hypothesis. I wouldn’t go so far as to say the gop “wants” public places to be unsafe and frightening. I think it’s more they just don’t care/believe it’s the responsibility of each individual to make themselves safe (e.g. carry your own gun for safety against a “bad guy with a gun”).

Something is genuinely wrong with Joe Biden. He seems to be suffering from maybe dementia or another condition causing short term memory impairment. It’s not even “cute” or “funny” anymore. These aren’t “gaffes”. These continual “misstatements” are clearly the impact of some sort of impairment or degenerative…

The unabomber was/is a genius and a mathematical prodigy who became the youngest ever assistant professor of mathematics at UC Berkley. Ted Kaczynski might have been “crazy”, but he was “crazy” about a legitimate problem and lately his ideas have been getting somewhat of a reevaluation as we keep marching toward…

I suppose you could interpret the comment about an insurance company approach to also mean changing the law so the insurance company would be compelled to pay out when someone gets injured by gun violence on the insured’s premises. But as you point out, tort law is a state prerogative. In light of recent SCOTUS cases…

Public accommodations already have a “duty of care” toward their customers. People sue businesses and places like apartment complexes all the time if they get shot on premises. It’s called “premises liability”. The problem is tort law, not walmart’s ability to pay out an award.

Yeah! Which essay from when he was a sitting US senator, or any other type of elected official, writing about an issue directly related to a bill being considered in the level of government where he was serving are you talking about? Because that would be the equivalent of Senator Biden writing an op-ed about…

From when he was a nobody and did not hold an elected office of any sort at any level in 1972? Wow. You’re right. That’s exactly the same as an op-ed written by a sitting senator regarding an actual legislative proposal he personally had the ability to influence. Totally equivalent and the essay/op-eds should probably…

The same corporate hit squad who hates Sanders’ plan and Warrens’ plan and Harris’ plan guess what, also hate Biden’s plan.

Tulsi Gabbard didn’t get her views from being “raised in a Christian household”. It’s almost the opposite, kind of. She was raised in a strange Hindu adjacent cult which had (still has maybe. He might be alive) a “charismatic” leader who had “strong” feelings about issues like homosexuality and a woman’s place in…

There is something genuinely not OK with him. This isn’t “I’m a funny ol’ gaffe machine, but you love me anyway” Uncle Joe Biden. It’s “I’m sundowning, where do I live again?” Old Man Biden. He clearly seems to have some form of impairment which is impacting his memory and recall.

It’s not research. It’s a seminal paper theoretical considerations in regards to providing people with health care in light of the “traditional” conception of welfare economics. He didn’t try to use empirical data. It was just based on examining and working within preexisting models.

The tax benefits are vis a vis spending the same amount on salary. Essentially the companies are cutting employees’ compensation as they provide less “generous” health care plans. So the fact employer health care plans afte getting worse says nothing about the value of the tax benefits to companies. What would be…

The don’t because due to terrible tax laws, employer provided insurance is a “cheap” way of competing for employees. Cheaper than actually paying higher salaries. So employers would rather keep the current system with its tax benefits than be relived of the complications of providing health care but be forced through…

How are union members not “paying anything” for their health care? It’s fairly uncontroversial economic theory that employer provided health care benefits are a form of compensation. So when unions members get “free” health care they are giving up the $X in salary increases their employer is instead spending to…

Unfortunately it’s a function of the weakness of unions in general in America. The unions feel the need to be able to provide the strongest justification for their existence/why one should join. Being able to say “we can get you the largest possible number of “things” you couldn’t get without us” is seen by unions to…

I’m sorry. You’re right. I forgot about the lollipop the doctor gives you after she does the shot. I know if I didn’t have a deductible or co-pay I’d be going to the doctor constantly for shots just to get that sweet lollipop.
