2020 Democratic Primary Thread: Focus on House & Senate races

[JMurder]

I feel bad for Bernie. He's not my choice, but it seems like this is typically the kind of stuff held against him, rather than his platform.

Everyone (progressives) loves his platform but being president is about more than your platform breh

Literally, "The working class shouldn't be allowed to make decisions."

What is this bullshyt? Anyways, I have continuously stated Warren’s weakness is Foreign Policy. However, whoever this is on Twitter is taking some of her CFR answer out of context. She never implied that Iran broke the agreement. She clearly stated that Trump shouldn’t of pull out of the deal, and put the majority of blame on him. What she stated was, that we need to get Iran back in compliance with the deal. Meaning that we need to get back to the original agreement.

I don’t they should cut doctors salaries though. Healthcare providers deal with ALOT. They have high patient loads, a persons life in your hands and lots of liability. This should be one of the most rewarding jobs available. The problems lie within insurance companies and administrators. If it weren’t for doctors, nurses, PAs, nurse practitioners this whole shyt would not work.

No one is saying doctors are bad, just that their incredibly high compensation is a leech on the system. Doctors are MASSIVELY overpaid in the US compared to other countries. There is no way to feasibly do M4A without either cutting doctors' salaries or massively boosting the tax burden on the middle class, beyond even what they will save with a new M4A system. The math just doesn't add up.

Interesting. I want to make sure i’m understanding this correctly. He basically want to pay for it through the Federal Reserve like system? I’m not sure exactly how we can do this though. I do like the fact he is addressing the hospitals.

I'm not sure I understand this idea fully either, but I think he's proposing what is essentially just a new government spending pool called "M4A Bank" that is funded by taxes and buttressed by the Fed. This fund would then be used to pump money into all the M4A adjacent healthcare issues, such as keeping the costs of med school and hospital expenditures down. I think it's basically just kinda reframing the funding conversation because the current discourse is so broken by years of Republican framing.

It hard for me to believe a Black Democrat can win a statewide race in SC, but I would love to see that bytch Lindsey get embarrassed and lose.

I would love to as well, but White people here in SC love Graham especially since he's Trump's ass kisser. That Black Man is not going to go far in the Senate race. These White folks will NOT allow two Black folks to represent this state as US Senate.

 

[JoogJoint]

Yeah,
I know about Tim Scott. But like you said he is a republican. It is hard for Dems to win statewide in SC.

I've tried telling people it's a waste of time voting Democrat at all here.

Eh not necessarily

The closer a state gets to purple the more resources the party will throw at it

Definitely something to think about. I hope Grim will explain this concept more, and exactly how it would work.

You can't pretend to care about black people when your colleague of two decades and civil rights icon passes and you can't be bothered.

But but but he proposed weed legislation says all I need to know with regard to how @Berniewood Hogan views black people

Being completely honest, I think most people in the USA don't care about the funeral. I doubt most people on the Coli even care about it.

The framing was for black primary voters.

the tweet isn't an accurate representation of her answers at all, I read all of her responses and they weren't accurately represented by that tweet

And when I say I doubt most people care about it, I'm including black primary voters. Which is why in a week, this probably won't even be a topic.
My larger point is that we shouldn't be looking at a funeral as a political opportunity or a missed political opportunity.
