Problem for these pundits is that they’ve spent decades kissing the asses of the establishment, and now someone who isn’t part of the establishment is threatening to win the nomination. They are literally worried about losing status and power, because if Sanders is somehow successful then these same pundits will be…
I used to watch the hell out of this on Nick at Night.
The silence of those on this site who have spent the past few years erasing the people of colour supporting Bernie Sanders is deafening.
Everyone who has paid attention on Twitter knew that the "Bernie can't get the union" was bullshit and 100% a manufactured narrative. It's such a fucking joke.
It is amazing, isn’t it, that someone paid to analyze politics for a living, apparently couldn’t conceive of those two entirely obvious responses by union members to the argument that M4A would “take away” their union health benefits.
Pete is just wrong on many levels.
Also this tweet was so fucking funny to me lastnight.
95% of people paid to talk about politics have no idea what they are talking about, and are completely unable to place anything about the current political moment in contemporary or historical context.
I do have great insurance through my job. I want everyone else to have great healthcare coverage, too.
Please dismiss that dumbass reply that insinuates you’re a bot. The temptation to reply is too strong and I don’t want to fuck around with complete idiots today.
Yes, Bernie is having a great week, even with the curiously timed release of the Russia shit. I was hate-watching MSNBC yesterday and the meltdowns - particularly Chris Matthews and James Carville - were spectacular. The pundits have had the same refrain for months: he can’t win minorites, he can’t unify people, the…
Good for Bernie! The dominant Nevada win is what the candidates were hoping to get out of Iowa. The number of delegates is irrelevant, rather the margin of victory that gives a wave that you can ride for a while.
It’s kind of astonishing to me, after 2016 and all the ways it should have demonstrated that political elites are out of touch with the American electorate, something like 95% of people paid to talk about politics have no idea what they are talking about, and are completely unable to place anything about the current…
Chuck Todd and Chris Mathews need to lay off the Nazi comparisons of a Presidential candidate that lost family in the holocaust.
I feel like you maybe don’t actually ever deal with insurance companies...cause that’s exactly how it already is - a complete clusterfuck.
You’re totally right. I’d rather have what we have now: poor people dying because they don’t have the “right” to health care.
I am speaking for myself only. I am 67 and am on Medicare. I have had very few hassles. I have not had to wait for any kind of treatment, ever. Sometimes the bills for my co-pays take a long time to arrive, but it was like that with private insurance, also.
We already spend more per capita on healthcare than any country with a nationalized system.
There is also the historical fact that most liberal policies pay for themselves after an introductory adjustment period. SNAP, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid all contribute to the health of the general US economy in a big way, and are worth the money spent (not that Social Security & Medicare cost the gov’t…
