They say no but they really mean yes.

Honestly I think the focus on saying good things about the middle class is some bull**** in American politics. It's like the lower classes don't exist and/or should be peed on and everything that says anything with a whiff of "for the people" is 100% directed language-wise at the middle class because the lower classes are an embarrassment. This is something I thought was odd even when I was right wing tbh.

But don't you want to be RICH???!?!?!?!? Why would you waste time on the poor? Only one thing can be accomplished at a time, those are the rules.

Maybe it’s because living expenses aren’t so high around here but I’ve only known one teacher that worked a second job and that includes summer leave. They pay was around 35g and everyone lives on it. They mentioned that like 3 times.

I was thinking that too.

That whole counter argument that they’re taking away “great coverage” that the unions fought for is such a ****ing joke. And the public option along side private insurers is ridiculous.

Even after watching the debate there’s like 4 or 5 I still don’t know from tonight.

Who the **** was that new guy arguing that America needs to keep a first strike nuclear attack option on the table. Seriously dude go be a Republican. Warren was looking at him stunned.

Warren articulated her points better than Bernie but Bernie hit some good zingers. Bernie ripped apart that idiotic bald ****.

That **** that hospitals would close with Medicare for All is crap. Their medical debt collection agencies would close.

And that ******* saying he’s against the Green New Deal. Warren threw a great zinger at him with “Why are you running for president if you don’t want to do anything?” Booya! The progressive message is so dominant. It’s amazing.

Weren't the unions just the good cop to the Russian Revolution's "HOLY **** WE NEED TO GIVE THESE PEOPLE MINIMUM WAGE AND MEDICARE OR ELSE THEY'LL KILL US ALL!!!"

There is no reason to raise taxes on anyone making under 300k, why not reverse the abomination they just put in?

I think it'll be funniest when Trump makes fun of this **** till it becomes a punchline and CNN helps and then 20 years from now the next generation is melting from the heat and can't afford their heat exhaustion bills and doesn't understand how all of this happened and I'm like "If it was you at the time you would have been just as stupid and so you deserve to sweat and collapse."
