(12,882 posts)Oh - you mean Medicare for all - yeah, SO MANY countries wanna set up money-grubbing insurance bottlenecks to "improve" their health care systems. Or was it the $15 an hour fantasy - no thanks, $7.50 is plenty for us! And there was that deceptive ploy of a national infrastructure plan. Of course, this would put the hurt on car repair shops. Can't have that! Wait a minute - I know what's unrealistic - it was that foolish notion that we needed to divorce ourselves from combustible fuels to save us from broiling on our only planet! An' you know those damned Redunclicans - with their family values bent, they can't tolerate our divorce from anything. Wouldn't wanna twist their nipples by eliminating all those mechanized coal mining jobs or the fracking that's making Oklahoma sink.
"You think all that screaming angry hatred directed at "establishment Democrats" was an attempt to unite?"
Nope. It was an attempt to bring them to their senses. BTW, I remember some screaming, but it wasn't angry - it was unbridled enthusiasm. I set in the sun for over an hour as temps teased the triple digit mark to see Bernie in my little California, red-as-hell town. At least 4,000 were there with us. I might have gone to see other candidates, but knowing this is a blue state in total, they couldn't be bothered.
