good :yeshrug:

good practice for what the right would throw at a sanders nomination
I agree with you. It's a great test.

Bloomberg is actually doing Bernie a favor. This primary has been very light on attack ads.

Not just that, it's more to do with American being a diverse country.

More racially homogeneous countries almost always have bigger social safety nets. When you have countries with larger percentages of minorities and immigrants then the dominant group is usually less likely to support social programs because of the perception that they're being taxed for programs that only benefit minority groups.

So, dont bother trying to strive to get Medicare 4 All?

Another endorsement by Obama for a single payer system:yeshrug:

He might as well get on the NotMeUS campaign trail now :usure:


He's smart, I'm sure he's sized up his options going both ways in regards to what it could do for the Obama brand.

Obama said this same thing 12years ago. That if we were starting from scratch he'd institute a single payer system.

He then went on to speak about the realities of the current situation. I'm not sure they've changed much either since Republicans have done a great job of neutering the ACA.

But Obama repeated that he rejects an immediate shift to a single-payer system. "Given that a lot of people work for insurance companies, a lot of people work for HMOs. You've got a whole system of institutions that have been set up," he said at a roundtable discussion with women Monday morning after a voter asked, "Why not single payer?"

"People don't have time to wait," Obama said. "They need relief now. So my attitude is let's build up the system we got, let's make it more efficient, we may be over time?as we make the system more efficient and everybody's covered?decide that there are other ways for us to provide care more effectively."

Lol at the LOIC crew being your cabinet.
You down to be SecDef?

been going back and forth with the Bernie Battalion on twitter and these folks have convinced themselves that they didn’t vote against the party in 2016. The mental gymnastics is terrifying to witness. Then they revert to their usual scare tactics and calls for unity when it was a different tune in 2016

Please point out where I said that :unimpressed:

I'm 100% for single payer. I was just stating the underlying reason why it's so much easier to pass in other countries.

and now your solution to that unproven theory is to do the same thing
