The conversation has been civil. Discussions should be welcome.

I don't really consider that a quip but OK. I just don't assume to know people's situations. You come at it from a glass half empty perspective and that's fine but I just think the whole thing is burden to society. I want people to have freedom from the burden of healthcare because right now it's a conundrum. I am all for private insurers being able to offer supplemental insurance for those who want it but the bulk of it should be covered. You are not getting it for free, it's paid the same way the military is being paid for.

Maybe I just want to see them get obliterated before I assume. I just think it's funny how people like Kasich claim the "far left" (whatever that means) almost cost Joe Biden the election when the evidence is contrary to that. I get that people are scared of big change but IMO it's long overdue. People are suffering out there and without bold legislation, the cycle of our failed state will continue. Democrats should have been able to punch their ticket to senate but yet the likes of Graham, McConnell and Collins cruised to re-election... Why is that? Maybe name calling and saying I'm not Trump doesn't resonate with as many people as they thought. I agree the DNC needs to hire a top tier marketing firm to brand their ideas because whoever it is now has been failing at their job miserably. You can't even get the DNC to unite against a candidate like Trump. That speaks volumes.

I do not care if we disagree but if you're not going to have an honest discussion what's the point? If you can't see that from your posts I don't know what to tell you. The last part of your previous post is evidence that you're just trying to drive your POV home and that you are not trying to have an honest discussion.

I would enjoy discussing things with you more if you weren't so linear in thinking. You are the king of straw man and very disingenuous.

Why do we need to limit the message of "progressives" to defund the police though. I think if they stick to policies that actually help you as a worker that message will resonate with most even if they don't want to admit it. You want you healthcare? You want a livable wage? You want to build for the future? Back them up with policy and the democrats would actually have a message instead of their do nothing and claim the other side is bad. People are desperate and if dems sounds like repubs which they do quite frankly, just vote for the repub. I would.

By that logic we should have an option whether we want our tax dollars to go to the military. I'm sure plenty of people would opt out of that.

I just hate that we have become the laughing stock of the world when it comes to basic rights for a developed country. The whole world protested george floyd, that in itself is shows how glaring that incident was. Of course there are worse things that happen in lesser developed countries, I'm not saying that at all.

I would say the police reform is absolutely needed. The defund the police is worst branding than calling basic human rights socialism.

Give it up dawg, the country doesn't agree with you. https://thehill.com/hilltv/what-americas-thinking/412545-70-percent-of-americans-support-medicare-for-all-health-care You may argue this is not progressive policy if you want. It could be seen as moderate since a majority believe in it.

100% agree. The people who are cheerleading Biden will be surprised when a more competent Trump is elected in 4 years because dems govern " on " safely...

Fun fact, no progressive whos supported progressive policies lost their house seat. It was in fact the centrist losers who stood for nothing that lost their seats. How does Florida vote for a $15 min/wage yet Trump won the state. How did Biden win Illinois yet a "fair tax" lost pretty handedly? I think people throw around words to scare people when a majority of the country supports progressive policies. It's just both dems and repubs love to use proverbial boogeyman to scare low iq voters on both spectrums.

It's irrelevant but if you're going to dunk on someone you should be sure you have the air time to make it to the rim. ?

The problem is republicans wouldn't go along with it. You would think they would as the future of their party kind of depends on it.

If you're going make stuff up about our discussion, at least tell the whole the story. The level of disingenuity is beyond absurd.

Free country, I would never tell someone to shut up for exercising their rights. That being said, you it's my right to respond to, in my opinion, your absolute rubbish.

greg is a bot

Play this for all the Georgians who are struggling without a stimulus bill.

Is her opponent THE oberweis dude?

Waiting for Trump's counterattack is a little uneasy. I feel real uneasy.

Should they just 25th amendment Trump's ass now?

The peach state will play a pivotal role for the country going forward. Crazy.

I really wish that would end. If something is good policy it shouldn't matter who came up with the idea. The partisan tribalism is ruining this country.

I think her not voting for ACB helped but she's been pretty complicit in the most of Trump's policies.
