2020 Democratic Primary Thread: Focus on House & Senate races

[FAH1223]

I don't understand why people are so afraid of this affordable care act. Let them try it, see if the numbers work and what they set in stone. If it doesn't work then people can just vote Republican next term and reverse the whole thing. We are in a democracy not a totalitarian state, laws, acts can be scrapped or edited what's the big deal?

ACA had good things but it didn't control costs and it made insurance companies richer/bigger... nothing done on drug prices and gouging either... and of course no public option

I’m sorry, I don’t think there is a farmer out there who’s worried about climate change, a woman’s right to choose her own path, or many of the “progressive ideas” out there. I don’t live in rural america. I don’t look at the Amish with envy. I don’t want my candidates eschewing the benefits of living in 1854.

Breh, climate change is literally like the number one issue economically effecting agriculture right now. You couldn't be more off base on that take.

C'mon man, we live in "The Garden State".

One thing Warren and Bernie haven't said and its in the financing plan of the bill is that we are already spending nearly $2 trillion per year on healthcare via government spending on multiple programs.

If the sticker price of Medicare For All is $3 trillion per year, then what's needed is a $1 trillion plus per year in new tax revenue to finance it. We're already 55-60% there. Consolidation of existing programs would occur.

yeah, I was super frustrated when neither Warren or Bernie pointed this out when Biden pulled out this disingenuous crap

This Squad endorsement kinda helps Warren just run on her own terms. The Bernie camp is ready to cap its support base with purity tests.

So be it.

Does Tulsi Gabbard have a chance? sounded interesting

Do the people of Kansas even think climate change is real? Are the people of Kansas capable of believing a woman can make her own decisions to family planning?

So be it.

You've posted about The Squad 6 times since this endorsement news. Chill out. We know you think Bernie is finished.

Breh, first of all wtf does "is this too urban" even mean besides the obvious ?

He took it upon himself to throw that framing out there. The only people worried about something becoming "too urban" for politics are racists and republicans. Criticism of progressive policies and direction of the party, even the bad takes from dishonest actors, are usually centered around costs and who stands to lose money.

Not something being "too internet". What fukking century are these mainstream media millionaires even living in?

Too urban obviously means

There are plenty of racist/sexist Democrats and I would not be surprised if many of them tend to be more moderate. If that's the case than what is wrong with asking if an endorsement from 3 prominent women of color would hurt x candidate? Its being realistic. I don't think it's going to hurt Bernie but I also don't think it's some racist shyt to point this out. This sensitivity shyt is unnecessary in this situation.
