Poll question: Any dem who votes to kill medicare today should be kicked out of the party

[Wounded Bear]

1. No...just out of office...

if he's a true Dem, I assume he can learn.

7. well first there has to be an election...

but I agree - a better candidate should be found to replace him/her

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. Yes.

Out of the party, and out of office.

I have ZERO use for such people.

ZERO.

:mad:

3. Absolutely.

Medicare, Medicaid and SS should be absolutely off the table and cornerstones of our party. If you're against those you simply are not a Democrat. And furthermore, we should be aggressively in favor of expanding Medicare to all. People love these programs and we should be beating the Republicans over the head with them.

4. Exactly what is the mechanism for kicking someone out of the party? n/t

[LiberalFighter]

10. Each state has their own rules if any.

5. Me thinks you'll be kicking a lot of them out then n/t

8. Outside of Harry Reid, I doubt there is one democrat who would support the Ryan bill

And the only reason Reid would support it would be a procedural manuever that majority/minority leaders sometimes too although I suspect that's just for filibusters (allows them to reopen the vote should some of the other party members want to change their vote)

[patrice]

6. Agree.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

9. No! No! 267% of Liberal Democrats think they're doing a helluva good job.

And, 428% of liberals support them.

Besides, they probably live in red states and we need them.

What else could they do?

Without them we'd lose medicare and social security and...and...all the kittens would starve.

11. Who are the 4 dummies that voted no? They should be kicked out of DU. n/t
