Losing does more damage than winning and doing nothing.
Progressives don’t understand this.

Trump is the worst president in history and it’s an uphill battle for the current DNC...
Really think about that.

America isn’t a European country and it’s citizens don’t have the world views or values that Europeans do.
Policies there are decades from being a reality here.
:yeshrug:
If trump is the worst president in history then why you always riding with trump set and caping for his racist ass:scust:

I approach Trumps presidency À la carte:manny:
Some things I like some things I don’t... the things I’m for I defend the things I’m not I condemn. The idea of basing my opinion on an issue or idea based solely on who’s in office/promoting it/supporting it is silly to me.
I also never considered doubting the collusion narrative as ‘caping’ tho most of HL did/does... and here we are.
:sas2:






Same way I approached Obama...
:banderas:@Conservatives calling me an Obama lover, now liberals calling me a Trump lover.

US Dollar is the world's reserve currency in part because of our empire.

Oh and speaking of price tags



We spent $2.8 trillion on healthcare in 2009.

We are at $3.5 trillion as of 2017. Jayapal is putting it at $3.9 trillion coming soon. $5.5 trillion per year at the end of the next decade.

Just insane. :damn:

The M4A price tag is based on the language of a M4A bill and makes(in my opinion naive) assumptions about reduced administrative and drug costs, as well as deeply reduced reimbursement rates to health care providers under a universal health care system...
Surely it’s not unreasonable to fear the cost being much much higher no?

It’s crazy how much less the health care providers get paid compared to the administrators. Doctors run the show:russ::francis:

Trump can find trillions for tax cuts, billions and billions for a fukking wall :dead:, billions subsidizing farmers because of his trade war but Democrats are worried about the cost of liberal policies which would energize the base and win elections :hhh:

This.

The Dems lost a supermajority and I don't think that can be understated.

A government option was always intended to be added to Obama care. I don't think he was shytting on Medicare for all. I think it's more AOC just pitching ideas and not explaining her funding model. I tbelieve that a lot of her policies will pay for themselves, but you have to EXPLAIN to voters exactly how not just gloss over the details.

Unless the constitution changes, he will never be president again. I appreciate him keeping us in Iraq, keeping Guantanamo open, allowing fracking to happen on his watch, the beer summit, the sequester, Syria, ...

I am rocking with AOC and The Funky Fresh Congress, Barry.
You do realize AOC will do plenty that you don’t agree with during her tenure

This post is silly
