I think I like to pick on Democrats more than Trump because telling people that Trump is a world-class idiot is just stating the obvious. Like, I almost don't see the point in making fun of him, other people have already done it for me

If I were surrounded by trump fans, or republicans, I'd probably be all over that.

But, I'm surrounded by dems. I guess I'm an rear end in a top hat.

Yeah, and now that the republicans have the ability to do what they were whining about, they can't do it. I don't think republicans are spineless, I think they're bought and paid for. Democrats are spineless because they won't fight for what they purportedly stand for. Even if that means bending norms.

The closest they came was eliminating the filibuster on appointments. The republicans are loving that now.

Most of them, Republicans and Democrats alike, are bought and paid for.

I'm in favor of single-payer in theory but as I get older and deal with more government entities like federal workman's comp and the VA, I truly wonder if it's possible to accomplish in this country without becoming a nightmare. Dealing with corporate drones is terrible, but my recent experience dealing with government workers in similar positions has actually been worse.

Did any of those other countries have to tear apart the largest and most profitable system in the world and then try to reassemble it with the reluctant cooperation of the profiteers they just undercut? I think there would be unique challenges to the implementation of UHC in this country and I don't really see anyone putting forth an argument with specifics to address that. Similar to how other countries can operate with a stronger social safety net when the US picks up the military tab for them, the US has been picking up a giant research and development tab over the years in the for-profit system.
