Please learn more about why the premiums went up due to Republicans blocking cost sharing. You are a lazy, simplistic human who just wants to blame everybody while one side is actually trying to fuck you and your family to help the rich.

1. Well, it’s not a very funny comedy bit then, in this context, to me as it doesn’t have much basis in truth as far as Dems and Repubs. I think, as I’ve demonstrated, that their is a *huge* difference between how both parties treat the poor; they are not “generally” the same. Despite your protestations that you think…

What the fuck are you even talking about? Do you have any clue how hard it was to get that passed and through the legal system or are you just trolling?

There is a reason why two anti-establishment outsiders, Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders, did far better than expected: because people are mad that our political system is broken.

That’s not fucking socialism at all. You have no clue at all what you’re talking about.

They passed Obamacare to get more affordable healthcare to poor people. But no, they’re just as bad as the Republicans I guess.

We already pay for healthcare, education, etc. It’s just a question of how we pay, and socialized systems are cheaper for everyone. Would you rather pay 10% of your income in taxes for a public system, or 15% in insurance for a private one? That’s the choice.

You’re welcome to try, but look at Democratic Socialists of America. They’ve had a major swell in membership . . . to about 15,000 people. Where’s the support?

It’s such a white guy argument. White people had no choice but to vote for the racist guy who assaults women once they saw the alternative was a moderate woman!

And thousands upon thousands of communists were purged by Stalin. Does that make him not communist or does that just mean that he was incredible violent towards competing factions of communism? I agree that Nazis were fascist, but they definitely employed many tenets of socialism in practice.

Well yeah, everything sounds good until you have to pay for it. For instance, free blowjobs for all would poll well for about half the population. If you found out your taxes would go up 10% to fund this great sounding program, people begin to demure. Policies sound really good right up until you try and figure out…

Except all of our socialized programs are funded by not socialism. We need our generally free market to fund those things.

The last time the Democrats were actually in power they got healthcare coverage passed. Which was part of their stated platform.

Democratic voters sleep on local and off-year elections. This allows gerrymandering. This allows voting districts to be constructed by and for the opposition. This allows the Dems to win 3 million more votes and still lose, a fact that is constantly lost in all of these “the Democrats can’t get enough votes!” screeds.…

Being able to process shades of grey and discerning subtle nuance?

They are supposed to fight for the little guy.

The Dems only controlled the Senate with a filibuster proof majority for about 70 total days. These days were split into two periods, and during them they relied on votes from two dying old men who couldn’t actually vote.

I went through a “both sides are bad” phase in high school too. But we’ve had a month of Trump. Anybody who sees politics today and thinks both sides are just as bad, isn’t paying attention.

I don’t at all understand how that “applies equally well here”. The Democrats’ stated platform is to raise the minimum wage to $15, pass things like universal health care and mandatory sick days and workers’ rights, strengthen regulations, tax the wealthy, and increase the social safety net. The party and its members…
