You guys can’t even do a boycott correctly lmfao 

 

 

You think this beer is going to sell so well that 10 employees can't keep up? I am gonna buy from local breweries, which is what I have done for several years now simply because INBEV has destroyed several great beers over the years.

Yes, all true.  The D's are also motivated by lobbyist dollars altho providing insurance for 40 mil more Americans would never have been an R priority.  Hell, the R's have been trying to rescind Obamacare ever since it was passed.  Who do you think the insurance companies have more in their pockets?

 

Why … Bernie and Warren…. Of course 

 

progressive!!

 

😮

Nice find.  I guess they thought Biden would win and know he's against Medicare for all.  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.

An interesting idea I like is the campaigns are federally funded and equal amongst candidates. I’d gladly pay tax money to prevent legalized corruption. 

Being good at fund raising has nothing to do with execution of high office.

Totally agree.  Hell, it shouldn't cost that much to run campaigns.  Debates are cheap and the networks will broadcast them for free.

 

btw, I discussed Medicare for all with Tim Kaine at a fundraiser a couple of years ago.  He was against it and still seems to be.  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.

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.

if you opt out do you get your money? I lived there albeit 18 years ago and it was terrible. 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.

Don’t think most want to control people as their highest priority. 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

Leather noodle soup? I’m sure you mean leber  I never gave that one a go, I’m sure it’s probably super healthy 

 

Oops, yep. There was a german restaurant out near me that made banging liver dumpling soup. Too bad the owner retired, I miss that stuff.
