The fact that so many people (whether it be actual people or articles) are treating him as “the Democrat version of Trump” blows my mind. He isn't the “Democrat version” of anything … because he isn't a Democrat. Watching the entirety of the stage blast him was A+.
Yeah I'm gonna go ahead and double down on this one friends

Oh right, resort to baseless histrionic fabrications about what I think. Cool cool.

this for sure..

he will blame it on Chinese people and throw some more tariffs up to put money in "america's coffers" and then say we need stricter immigration because brown people are criminals, murderers, rapists, AND sick people.

But why are bernie bros so mean?

Domer can't go a single post without being smug, condescending and name calling, but its fine because he's not self aware.

Yale researchers expect these big savings from Medicare-for-all:

$219 billion from administrative savings, because the Medicare program currently spends 2.2 percent on overhead while private insurance spends 12.4 percent
$188 billion from negotiating lower prices for prescription drugs, based on the rates the Veteran Affairs Department currently pays (which are about 40 percent lower than those paid by Medicare)
$100 billion from reducing payments to health care providers, by setting rates at Medicare levels (which are about 20 percent lower than private insurance and 20 to 30 percent higher than Medicaid)
$78 billion from avoiding unnecessary hospitalizations and emergency room visits by improving access to primary care
How many posts has Domer called people morons then said the USA can't afford Bernie's healthcare plan?

Bloomberg ad blitz in my neck of the woods has been unrelenting, and I’m not even in a Super Tuesday state. I guess we’re gonna get a test of whether an unelectable candidate can win via the sheer power of advertising.

Currently in San Antonio and I get the same Tim Duncan for Bloomberg ad before like 75% of YouTube stuff I click on. Also see it running on Fox News at the gym which is kinda interesting.

We're living out the Contagion movie plot and Trump is our President. We're screwed.

Can't wait for the state of emergency which also cancels the Nov election.

The Davis case is pretty bad

CDC refused to test when they initially came in. Has had it and never left the country

So ya. It’s here. And we’re done

Except our president was literally the Jude Law character during the previous (Ebola) scare - a plot twist no writer would even consider as it's way too ludicrous.

Stock market down for 6th day in a row with another 2% today so far. European markets got whacked for another 3%, too. A worldwide recession is inevitable at this point even if the virus magically clears up tomorrow. Travel restrictions, productivity losses, supply chain issues, and a decline in discretionary spending are going to linger for months in the best case.

Things will be okay here in the USA though. Our system of no paid sick days and people living paycheck to paycheck will ensure things keep motoring right along with everyone showing up to work even if they're sick because they can't afford to stay home. We also won't waste our money spending $1400 to get tested for the Coronavirus because our insurance will only pay 60% of the $3k+ bill. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opini...icare-for-all/

That's assuming you can get tested which probably won't happen because the CDC has crazy strict rules on who gets tested and they've performed less than 500 total tests to date.

I doubt Matusow has followed the law and actually filed a tax return in at least 15 years of his life. I don't know how the IRS works, but he may be going back to jail.

Bernie voter demographics also underperform in polls



Basically I'm sick and ****ing tired of people using the excuse of strategy to support one of these right-of-center candidates, or Warren who has the worst unfavorables of any politician in the country. Literally the least popular politician



It's time to stop fearing math, and stop using "conventional wisdom" and gut feelings



Or just keep losing.

Or, for the real mouth breathers like thinman, just keep stubbornly refusing to support taxes on billionaires that are less than a third of the effective rate they were in the 50s and 60s. Because America was ****ing communist then, during the McCarthy era, that's just common knowledge.
