2016 the Republicans took the mask off
2020 Democrats are doing the same.
This primary has been pretty insulting so far.

Maybe he has but I don't think that anyone can say any of this is set in stone and take for granted that Sanders or Warren's (as she also had a plan to offset this) plan would make it through as is with no compromises. The second issue is that if you take healthcare out of a Union's hands they have less things to offer an employee and differentiate themselves from non-unionized employers.There's provisions in M4A saying that the employers have to give raises equal to the cost of healthcare for union members.
Sanders thought about this already.
Yeah. She dropped down to my 2nd choice, though odds might be slim that she's still in it after Nevada. I don't think she would be Bernie's VP regardless. I think he'd go with someone significantly younger.I was on the Warren hype train at the start of the election cycle, but her backtracking on M4A and now this is the nail in the coffin for me. Before all this, she had he benefit of aligning with Sanders platform policies for the most part while still appealing to moderates. After the above though, she's toast. I mean I'd still vote for her in the unlikely scenario that she gets the nom, but it's sad to see her sell out so quickly. I can't even see her as VP now given the bad blood between her and the Bernie campaign.
A lot of big, more corporate unions oppose Medicare for All not because it would be bad for the workers they represent, but because it would be bad for them as institutions. Without being able to go to their rank and file members and say "look, we got you guys a healthcare package", they'd have to actually do more work and lobby for better conditions and pay instead.

I love a good Jeb meme as much as the next guy, but what he did in florida in 2000 makes him irredeemable in my eyes. Fuck that whole family.2016 Republican debates were just a measure to see who could be the most evil.
Jeb was too pure for this world.
I'm wondering in a well regulated working environment, do you even need unions at that point?
It seems unions starting becoming a stronger thing as capitalism started taking off, to counter balance the increased power corporations had.
If you had a well regulated working environment that mandated health care, mandated safety regulations, hours worked for the young and elderly, required pensions (and not 401k's), mandatory life insurance for death or serious injury, etc.. would unions even survive such a situation?
So, are they not simply fighting for their survival just like the billionaire class is against Bernie? Not that I agree with them, it's bullshit and again reeks of screw you got mine, but I can see why they would be opposed.
You would need unions in a country like ours where all your rights and regulations can be overturned in one election.I'm wondering in a well regulated working environment, do you even need unions at that point?

Hang on, Jeb! had his share of blood-curdling ideas and policies. Like keeping the corpse of that poor brain dead woman alive against her own wishes.2016 Republican debates were just a measure to see who could be the most evil.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with her comments re: the attacks against that union.

Imagine a whole world that is one big union. Creating some sort of community, possibly luxurious and in space.I'm wondering in a well regulated working environment, do you even need unions at that point?

Obviously Pamy Biduchargieg's winning the nomination.
Rare picture capturing Pete's natural skin tone (Data grey).
Also worth mentioning the Washington Post article mentioned in there:oh my god they're finally getting the point
e: also the linked article is fantastic, definitely worth a read
Buttigieg has tons of stuff behind his back:Thanks ya'll, wow a lot of reading to do, but just skimming the headlines and what Powdered Egg reported, I am definitely not supporting this guy. That police chief situation is bullshit. Be back in like an hour :)
Buttigieg asserted that the two sides of the controversy were really not that divided after all. "They're being portrayed like they're on two different sides, but they're not even talking about the same thing,"
"We're talking about two different things. And one of those is the way that race is playing a role in our criminal justice system. And the other is about the safety of police officers who go out there every day and risk their lives. And I fear that we're being led down this path that you have to choose between being pro-minority/pro-equal rights and pro-police."
Extra about the hosts, just for the sake of completionism:The fundraiser in question took place Sunday at "Hall Wines," a property owned by Kathryn and Craig Hall, who are prolific Democratic Party donors.
Kathryn Hall was ambassador to Austria under President Bill Clinton, while Craig Hall is a real estate developer.
Craig Hall played a role in the 1980s savings and loans crisis, The Associated Press has reported. His firm was rescued by a $300 billion federal bailout and Hall eventually paid a $100 million settlement in 1993, according to the outlet.
It is super naive to think Bernie can ride 26% in every state direct to the nomination. He needs to find a way to bring more people in or he won't be the nominee.The moderate voltran meme is gonna come back to bite y'all if we get a brokered convention.

They're not that naive. There's a reason why *certain* Bernie fans are harping on Warren supporters to switchIt is super naive to think Bernie can ride 26% in every state direct to the nomination. He needs to find a way to bring more people in or he won't be the nominee.
Do you honestly not know or are you confused by her "affordable health care" line? Because she's stated her position.

Helps when all the newspapers and media are headlining the third place finisher as if they won. It's a real thing that the media is afraid of Bernie.It is super naive to think Bernie can ride 26% in every state direct to the nomination.

Even then only a third of Warren supporters have Sanders as their second right now. Depending on how the rest of them split up it may not even be good for Bernie that Warren drops out.
It's what Pete workshopped after the pharma/healthcare money started rolling in.Is this Medicare for All Who Want It a new thing? My god I cant believe this is real,

Disagree. Biden will still split some moderate votes. Him being in the race to muddy the waters helps Bernie.
1-2 Biden and Warren. Then, Steyer win in SC with Bernie 2nd would be maximum chaos.At this point the chaos scenario in nevada would be a 1-2 finish for biden and steyer. the first two states defied the polling odds in a way for some candidates.
So did they even specify what these "vicious attacks" were? Was it John Legend & Rob Delaney strongly disagreeing on twitter, or?
Also, lol

Bloomberg probably saw this indecisive crapfest from a mile out, that's why he want in when he did right?
If Biden comes roaring back in NV then this is over and he wins the nom pretty handily.
