We really are just the stupidest country...

I think, without question or doubt, that if the Congress gave something to Hillary that made bigger expansions to the ACA or that is more liberal than her personal agenda, she would not hesitate to sign it.

If it was part of the joke that quote wouldn’t be offensive at all as the whole point of the movie would be for us to point out how he was actually not handsome.

Bernie is an asshole about the ACA, calling it a “good Republican program” in the same breath he uses to claim he “helped write it.” (He did not.)

I believe he disagrees with it but I don’t get the impression he’s ever given Hyde or reproductive rights in general a whole lot of personal thought. I think he just votes party line on it. There’s some boilerplate ‘women’s issues’ stuff on his web site.

But isn’t that what Hillary’s saying she wants to do? Shore up the ACA, improve it, expand it, and then we’ll go from there? Yes the ACA was gutted by Congress but I am ABSOLUTELY in favor of filling it out and making it better instead of chucking the whole thing.

I think Bernie would be Jimmy Carter, placeholding for 4 years followed by Reagan Revolution 2.0 and I think that is fucking terrifying.

It is a big deal and I really want it to happen. I think the reason Clinton’s not getting more play for it is the timing in the media cycle just sort of stole her thunder. The story turned into being about Sanders not getting Planned Parenthood’s endorsement and who Bernie thinks is “establishment” and then Bernie…

I actually like him toned down. Zero Effect, Walter Mitty, Royal Tenenbaums, There’s Something About Mary.

I’d imagine this movie is going to be like seeing the “cool” aunt/uncle you remember from when you were a kid 15 years later through the eyes of adulthood.

Yeah, the fact that Hillary was willing to put it so front and center I thought was brave and awesome. Bernie doesn't disagree, but the fact that she put it right out there was pretty bold. I genuinely hope she accomplishes it.

It hasn’t gotten more play because the main stream media is invested in demonizing her every chance they can get.

I genuinely don’t understand why Hillary’s pledge to repeal the Hyde amendment hasn’t gotten more play. That’s a huge, bold, and simple idea that would make a serious difference in the lives of millions of impoverished women.

Maybe, MAYBE it would be an acceptable answer if one of those countries provided a roadmap for the US to transition to single-payer healthcare, but they don’t. The NHS was created almost 70 years ago from the ground up. England did not have an existed insurance system and half of the population diametrically opposed…

President Nixon (R) wanted universal healthcare for everyone. Nixon couldn’t get it passed, Johnson(D) couldn’t get it passed, Clinton (Bill D)couldn’t get it passed. Obama (D) couldn’t get it passed. What we have now in the ACA is what we could get through when Dems controlled the House and Senate. Tell me again…

We may not be able to predict the unknowable but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try to make educated guesses, and the educated guesses on Bernie’s plan do not uniformly say it works; in fact, if anything, it says the opposite — that the plan is overly optimistic and contingent on a set of variables going exactly the…

I’m not asking him to get into the nitty gritty on The Late Show, but when Colbert asked about the political feasibility of socialized medicine, the correct answer is not “well it works in Germany and the UK!”

What worries me are the Bernie or no one, or the Hilary or no one people.

I think she has a pretty fabulous domestic record as well. She has prioritized children, education, gun control, women’s rights and healthcare for decades upon decades — don’t forget, it was “Hillarycare” in the 90s — and has generally fought for progressive intentions in passable legislation. I think that matters.…
