Its always good to have a good disagreement and people willing to double check themselves - I actually looked at other states after you rightly pointed out the RomneyCare example was not good enough. I honestly didn’t even think about NY because I didn’t think the legislature would have attempted to pass something…

I hope the interviewer dressed that asshole down. 

Oh, good catch! I was looking at the California one that is being bandied about, but seems to get stalled based on potential costs to the healthcare industry in California.

She was fairly firm on her “no” and didn’t say anything else - but that question came during the lightning round, and she couldn’t elaborate.

gambling can be seen as another form of poor-person tax. Like sanctioned gambling of the State Lottery systems. 

What is the legal hurdle they can’t get over, then?

Yeah, she could have framed it a little better. I guessed she was trying to nail him for playing lip service as a progressive, while not actually pushing for progressive policies.

Parts of our health care infrastructure are under the feds, but other parts are not. It can be possible for individual states to do a state-run version of medicare-for-all. Problem is political will, and the need for a whole bunch of people who can actually make it work.

Yeah, she seems very earnest in her convictions, and she does try to stick to topics at hand. One of the things I hate most about politicians is their over use of pivoting and talking in circles. What I see with the successful candidates (even Trump, the fucking bastard) is their use of more direct approaches in their…

Only works for Trump and his administration. Trumpers won’t vote for Cuomo because he’s the exact thing Trump is supposedly not: and old coastal elite, who’s out of touch with what his state actually needs, and shady as fuck. 

The Raiders continue to make really stupid decisions. Mack is an amazing talent that can help round out that decent group of young players. 

His statements are full of racial dog whistles, and I hope this drives up votes for Gillum instead of going the other way.

I dislike this woman so, very much.

I saw the last 45 minutes of the debate, but the thing that stood out for me besides Cuomo insistence that Nixon was using her status as “corporation” to skirt taxes was his consistent insistence that she doesn’t understand how government works. God I wanted to punch him for that “you just can’t snap your fingers and…

I know, right? 

Ttroopers should be sent back upstate. 

Cuomo is a condescending snob 

So many of those things built into religion are great, like humility, doing good works, and so on. My problem with it is that so many are such sanctimonious bastards about it. To the point they’re willing to ignore their communities’ own willingness to break their own rules, in order to encourage dangerous attitudes…

I refuse to allow devote people to tell me that LGBT+ folks and my right as a human to plan my family is wrong. They say abortion is wrong, only to deliver them to religious leaders for abuse. They say I am living in sin as a lesbian, but turn a blind eye to those who lie to cover up the actual crimes of those same…

Starred for Yugi-oh reference.
