These outfits have always been sexist and essentially fan service. I don’t see why anyone would have a good argument against changing them.

That’s the fucking problem with Democrats. They mistake weakness for pragmatism. They mistake pandering for savvy. They always seem to imagine that the closer they edge to Republican policy positions, the more votes they will inevitably capture, due to math. They—the establishment, the ones in control, with all of the…

So like, get over it? This stupid video raises your hate?

25% for a combination of government and private care. Plus there’s 33% who still want Medicare and Medicaid. But neither of those are necessarily a “no” to not support single-payer, I’d wager those people can be convinced if you message right... You’re right by just raw numbers, but the context of it is a lot more…

That would be another matter. But currently the moderates in the GOP don’t like what they see, and the hard liners don’t want any change, just full repeal. That will likely sink it.

So here is the current RCP data. I will correct myself that it is no longer that a majority dislike the plan, but that both approve and dislike are below 50%. In other word, passion for either side is mediocre.

But notice they are using single payer as the bugaboo. The current choice is not binary. We have Obamacare/individual/employer sponsored today. If given the choice of GOP replacement plan vs single payer, I think most will be fine with “neither” and stay where we are, for now.

Oh I agree it will grow. But for 2018 what should the Dems do? The economy is not going to resonate this mid-term. Healthcare is something that they want changed but are sick of floundering on. Foreign policy is sort of all over the place but not a massive vote generator. This is why I think the Dems are sort of stuck…

Hard to say. The same poll shows that only 5% want “no government involvement”. So 95% (that is bipartisan) want SOMETHING, they just don’t agree on what it is.

According to a Pew Research poll about a month ago, the number of Single-payer supporters is rising, but still at only 33%. No one is building a platform around something that has 33% support.

I think the policy is silly, but why is the post talking about the modern Republican Party when this policy was there when Democrats ran the House? This policy is way old.

None of it is popular. The original ACA is hugely unpopular part of the reason Trump eeked out a win. The new GOP version is even LESS popular, because ACA fans hate the changes, and the far right does not think it changes enough.

Don’t bother HunterChef. Rocky is definitely off his meds this evening.

It is not an excuse. It is an observation. As I said elsewhere, I am not a fan of the sport, which I personally find barbaric.

No argument from me there.

No, you are really trying too hard to be obtuse. You do you.

Thanks (and to EDR as well). This does sound like something to look into. Also interested in looking into the mobile pass app and seeing how the two experiences compare.

He didn’t draw a line. You actually have to THINK each time.

Nope, dopey. You need to read. I am personally against bullfighting. But that was not the question.

Never said that it should. The questions was “why does bullfighting exist?”. Not, “is it moral?”.
