Most centrist Dems are. I'm not sure why. He didn't give me a satisfactory reason other than lots of jobs will be lost and the health care sector is very important to the economy. Still like the guy but disagree on this point. More troubling is the progressives hypocrisy here. The ends justify the means doesn't fly with me. The best way to go about it in the States is to do a German model where a public plan backed by the government competes with private ones. Everyone automatically gets the public care, but you can opt out of it. 1

I’m a cynic and don’t trust people whose career aspirations is to control other people. My guess, is if they got it, they lose an issue that gets voters to come out… same thing with most of these slam dunk your side my side topics. All these politically minded ***** are really sick. it’s appalling how twisted they are even just seeing it first hand in a medium sized corporation. They play all these little games all the time. It’s all a show. The idea of compromising to appease the 70% of moderates is dead. 1

You had to convince the Apothke frau you really needed a Sudafed. It was ridiculous. Don’t get me started on the teeth… healthy food though. They go bankrupt if they had a populous on the American diet.

Self aggrandizing and profiteering are higher priorities to the truly corrupt. Some actually believe their warped or reasonable ideologies but my impression is that they are the minority. The ones who are neither and want the best for everyone are the ones I look for and support 2 minutes ago, Over 29 years of fanhood said: if you opt out do you get your money?

SCBills Posted April 14, 2023 Posted April 14, 2023 (edited) How convenient that the FBI/CIA & Federal Government got a “Guns, God and Fitness” leaker of confidential documents as they’re looking to pass the RESTRICT Act. I really want to believe this wasn’t staged and/or won’t be taken advantage of… anddddd there it is….. Edited April 14, 2023 by SCBills 1

I don't believe D's are lily white when it comes to donations. I'm happy to see them called out. Now let's all agree to strict campaign contribution limits and rescinding Citizens united. I'm betting filthy clarence will be on the wrong side however. We can all agree on that. Too bad the people that make the rules about campaign finance are fat, dumb, and happy with the way it is. I remember the last time Congress tackled campaign finance reform we ended up with Citizens United and Super PACs. I don't have much hope. However I do have a good IMHO idea to cut out a lot of money. Candidates can only accept money from people in their district.

Joe Ferguson forever Posted April 14, 2023 Posted April 14, 2023 A friend heard Tim Kaine speak at a small gathering recently. He said he thought about not running this time for Senator and that he'd been offered a higher paying job in there private sector. But he sees Youngkin having a narrow path to the presidency and if he loses in the primary he'll likely go after that senate seat. Kaine is all in for the race in part because of that.
