Who with power do you think wants universal health-care
Would have to be a hostile negotiation. A tiny sliver of dems trying to leverage something to win what would be one of the biggest concessions ever
I donāt think anyone in power wants it, and I donāt think it would pass the senate. Thatās why giving Bernie a platform to make it his single issue and try to convince people around the country that they deserve it might make a long term difference.

I think promising people shit that we never plan on giving them is a big reason why nobody trusts dems and why people think both sides are the same

Sorry I donāt think Iām explaining myself well. I donāt think it should be a campaign promise (Iād never expect Kamala to deliver on it, Iām sure she doesnāt give a shit). Iām just thinking out loud about who would make a good VP and what they could do with that platform.
Itās not gonna work but we basically gotta go all in on Trumpās age/fitness. Hammer home the fact that heās going to be the oldest president ever if he gets elected, you think Biden is old now? Trump is going to be 2 years older than Biden by the time he finishes his term.
Itās not gonna work cause republicans have no problems being hypocrites and would vote for a corpse over a dem but I donāt think we have a better plan
Health is THE biggest industry lobby, spending $199M in 2024. No way anyone does anything to hurt the position of pharma or private health insurance as long as the USA continues to be an oligharchy.

I feel itās a terrible idea. Iām sure there are some folks who have come to America illegally that should be expelled, but ā15 millionā sounds ridiculous to me. I donāt know what random-number generator he used to create that number.
Itās an estimate of the number of undocumented. I saw estimates ranging from 10 to 20 million and split the difference.
Iām saying that the platform would be a huge concession that like 5 people at the convention would have to go to war for and somehow win
confession I have never used my one time and Iām feeling kinda lucky, big gretch make me an offer and maybe you me and a search committee could start a lookin for a dealer

Practically, I donāt think that there is a lot anyone can do about illegal aliens who are already here. I donāt even know how that would work logistically, even if it were possible to locate and identify all those illegals.
but for real do you know who this makes me miss the most? PAUL WELLSTONE

I kinda like this tbh, just pound on the age thing, its the number one reason that everyone hates this election (at this moment). Go to reddit and yeah thats the ānon partisanā conventional wisdom, āplease let us vote for someone whoās not a great grandpaā or something.
Of course that hinges on nominating someone under 65.
