2020 Democratic presidential primary

So (sorry 4 ignorant foreigner) that means a baseline of service but you can buy private insurance for beyond that?

I think she actually wants to have private insurers competing with the public system for coverage of the same services ("we will allow private insurers to offer Medicare plans) but be regulated heavily ("as long as they play by our rules")? (Seems strange to me tbh.)

anyway fuck this board and world

*but to be

xxpost it seems at a superficial glance like half-measure gesturing towards the kind of market-regulating, price-setting force a true single-payer system would have just by dint of its size. but without true single-payer it's not clear to me how that would work.

but without true single-payer it's not clear to me how that would work.

this is my question as well

bumped healthcare thread btw

but tbh I dislike Bernie bc he is ALWAYS SHOUTING

people tell me this about warren too and i don't get that either.

they can both be a little hectoring but she doesn’t sound like your hard-of-hearing great-uncle

bernie is absolutely always shouting. warren I don't hear shouting.

my dad hates her tone but it's definitely not sexism at work or anything

i don't hear shouting is the new i don't see color

My takeaway is that Democrats don't know what to do with their hands.

Normcore lookbook

The Eight is Enough reboot looks like a misfire

folks it looks as if eight was not enough!!

re Kamala's Pell plan

Oddly Specific Kamala Harris Policy Generator

Yesterday, I announced that, as president, I'll establish a free college lottery program for minorities who open a hospital that operates for 8 days in a tent city.

that would admittedly be an impressive feat

opening a tent city hospital I mean

I'm going to say it, Warren and Klobochar should have spoken about their red jacket/black blouse wardrobe choices...

Christ this is boring

I'm on a beach.

I'm on a ferry.

I’m on a plain

I can't complain

Somewhere I have heard this before

Too many neoliberals on this stage

As pareene pointed out, it’s a shame she didn’t get to use this line on Biden

I genuinely do not understand why anyone would go to all the trouble of running for president just to get up on this stage and talk about what’s not possible. #DemDebate pic.twitter.com/cOCz5TS3AF

I can't complain

kinda bs that biden's not going to get any live heat from bernard or warren tmmwr night

There is going to be many months of that I wouldn’t hold my breath.

If i have to choose between many months of that and holding my breath...

i liked having bernie & liz at the center tag teaming the clowns

bullock comes thru

completely unsurprising debate, sanders and warren both came across well, buttigieg was ok at best, marianne delivered the speeches, everyone else should drop out now; if you're getting overshadowed by marianne williamson then your campaign is not feasible..

truth bomb

counterpoint, with some polls showing support doubling from 0.6 to 1.2%, the tim ryan campaign is technically "on fire" and forecasted to reach 60% by election day 2020

John Delaney, still running for president despite polling at 1%, says his problem with Medicare-For-All and the Green New Deal is that they're not realistic

These dumb centrist asshole candidates all sound like they’re on acid, all this abstract visionary “inspirational” nonsense that’s completely boring and unintelligible and substance-free (yeah yeah what else is new)

Marianne ain't going to lie to you!

baffling to see all these candidates that don't grasp that you pivot to the center *after* you get the nomination
