LotM is the liberal version of Corrik. When's the last time you saw Corrik do anything but march to his own tune?
I really dont think thats fair.

LotM isn't the liberal version of corrik. you may disagree with him (and i often do) but he's always respectful. corrik is often condescending and obnoxious.

Is this old? Because if not, Jesus these gaffs are coming fast and furious lately.

These give me hope that after another shellacking Thursday, Biden forgets where he is in the next debate and everyone realizes their mistake.

Maybe I'm just misremembering how bad Corrik is cause I've had him on ignore for months, but the lack of empathy and total inability to understand the life situations of other people that LotM exhibits in most conversations reminds me heavily of him. The whole 'the healthcare system is fine because its fine for me, don't worry guys America is the greatest country in the world' argument was straight out of the Corrik playbook of 'my reality is the only reality and I'm confused that other people's realities exist'.

Directly condescending - that's true, he's not.

Yeah, I am obnoxious and condescending. Yet, within the last 15 posts I have been insulted by what like 5 different people. Yet, you would be hard pressed to find insults from me ever on others. It's a textbook case of contradiction. Just because the people who insult me also are echoing it, does not make you correct in your assertion. I have never been asked to not insult others like others have asked people to stop insulting me.

Of course Im excited about Biden winning, but that doesnt mean I enjoy everyone else being bummed out! I know it sucks when a candidate you were really excited about does worse than you expected.

I didnt mean it as a slight! It was a more of a well at least one of us is happy sort of thing. I meant it as more of a joke and not an indictment!

I don't want to get into the whole healthcare argument again, but my point wasn't "it's fine for me so it has no problems." I do think that the American healthcare system has huge problems. The point I was trying to make was that it's not uniformly trash for everybody, and tearing the whole system down and replacing it is a huge risk for many people. I know a lot of you disagree, but I think we can fix most of the issues with the American healthcare system *without* taking the drastic step of risking what people currently have.

If I knew by word of God that a single payer system was guaranteed to work exactly as advertised with a painless transition I wouldn't be opposed. The issue is that I do not believe that that's anywhere close to being guaranteed.

Their argument against you is nothing more than you simply disagree with them. If you don't agree everyone should have free health care, you are a terrible person and lack empathy. Straight up. Nothing else matters regarding it

Serious question coming from an outsider: how could it possibly be worse than what you have rn? I work for JP Morgan and have literally the best coverage my country (Argentina) can offer. Currently, I'm getting a dental implant because one of my teeth broke and it comes out to about 200 dollars. Doesn't the same thing cost at least ten times as much over there? How can that be acceptable, considering my nation is a flaming trashheap and yours is the most powerful one in the world?

Depends on your dental plan? For some that might be free. For others it might be over a grand.

Oh yeah!

I fear youre actually 100% right. Im worried that explaining things doesnt go over well with the America people and we dont like anything more complex than short soundbytes.

One of Trumps strengths was how well he understood this. He would yell BUILD A WALL and that was it. He knew how to market his ideas and kept it easily digestible. Everyone went after him with a how would you pay for it? And what did he do? Did he release a ten page explanation of well itll be part of a massive spending bill and heres exactly how wed get the numbers and if that fails Ill take money from the defense budget and underfund these military bases? No, because that wouldve gone over terribly. He just went MEXICO WOULD PAY FOR IT and didnt blink when asked for more details. And it worked.

Im really afraid youre right and if Bernie had just gone THE BILLIONAIRES WILL PAY FOR IT he would be in better shape.

He always polled lousy in Florida anyways so it couldn't have hurt him too much there. If anything, maybe he thought Florida didn't matter when he said it anyways cuz it was never voting for him.

Hillary was also seen as far left by the GOP. Biden is probably further left than Bernie on a few issues which have high salience for the GOP (guns, immigration). This is similar to how liberals often take support for, e.g., LGBT issues for granted, but the subset of conservatives who still oppose it are fucking furious that they've been losing on those issues.

gross

Well your answer is Biden isn't a progressive so standards are comparatively on the floor and Bloomberg's haters are mostly just relieved he isn't a candidate anymore

The biggest issue I've seen isn't Joe Biden's ideological purity but how is this not just a campaign finance violation in the making. I'm sure we'll hear more about that from a lot of angles
