Manchin is a Democrat. guillaumeb Apr 2018 #2
Whats your point? Adrahil Apr 2018 #31
That is your view of Sanders and his motivation. guillaumeb Apr 2018 #41

Many reasons perhaps? guillaumeb Apr 2018 #70
It's the new logic on here.... vi5 Apr 2018 #74
It does seem that way at times. guillaumeb Apr 2018 #77
This is of course impossible at this time, minimum 6 years before you could even think Eliot Rosewater Apr 2018 #54
But Will The Plan Actually Work Me. Apr 2018 #3
Will the ACA actually work, or is it Romneycare? guillaumeb Apr 2018 #5
And What Does That Have To Do With BS Me. Apr 2018 #7
It was a response to your post. guillaumeb Apr 2018 #9
It won't work because if we tried it and raised taxes enough to pay for it...we would be tossed out Demsrule86 Apr 2018 #16
Any increase in taxes would be more than offset by decreases in insurance premiums. guillaumeb Apr 2018 #18
Most Americans still get insurance through work...same thing that derailed Clinton....the Demsrule86 Apr 2018 #32
To your last point, guillaumeb Apr 2018 #43
You have to consider the number of jobs in the insurance companies...and insurance companies are Demsrule86 Apr 2018 #61
Capitalists rarely surrender an opportunity to profit. guillaumeb Apr 2018 #69
We are not close to making that happen...so why not get what we can while talking about what we hope Demsrule86 Apr 2018 #85
As I said, to someone, we can do both. guillaumeb Apr 2018 #88
But Other Plans Were Well Thought Out Me. Apr 2018 #20

Sanders AND Common Dreams. OilemFirchen Apr 2018 #4
I understand your position. guillaumeb Apr 2018 #6
Gillibrand & Booker have already announced similar plans. TheSmarterDog Apr 2018 #8
Have Gillibrand and Booker been doing so? guillaumeb Apr 2018 #11
As I Understand It Me. Apr 2018 #25
The same objections of unworkable and unaffordable will be raised. guillaumeb Apr 2018 #27
But Not Mindlessly Me. Apr 2018 #30
And drawing that line is what we are doing. guillaumeb Apr 2018 #40
Bernie's plan is more broad based. But, kudos to Booker and Gillibrand for InAbLuEsTaTe Apr 2018 #73
But the bottom line is none of these plans will pass Congress. Demsrule86 Apr 2018 #14
Presenting a united front against the GOP fascists would be an accomplishment. TheSmarterDog Apr 2018 #17
Yeah...I like all the plans. Demsrule86 Apr 2018 #33

DITTO!!!! nt jrthin Apr 2018 #82
And do you seriously believe that Americans will support this? Demsrule86 Apr 2018 #13
I disagree. guillaumeb Apr 2018 #15
We can't do that between now and 18...and 20. Realistically, it will take years...in the meantime we Demsrule86 Apr 2018 #36
We must do all of it. guillaumeb Apr 2018 #44
We have to concentrate on what is achievable. And build a demand for what I call the good stuff... Demsrule86 Apr 2018 #55
We should. sheshe2 Apr 2018 #78
Dreams do happen. guillaumeb Apr 2018 #81
Hmmm sheshe2 Apr 2018 #87
Very true. guillaumeb Apr 2018 #89
Quite the spring offensive Sanders followers have mounted today BannonsLiver Apr 2018 #23

How the hell? Loki Liesmith Apr 2018 #34
That is the question. guillaumeb Apr 2018 #47

Not quite the same. guillaumeb Apr 2018 #67
Preemptive 2020 shit stirring using unattainable pipe dreams instead of a spoon. NightWatcher Apr 2018 #35
Gillibrand/Booker DeminPennswoods Apr 2018 #39
The big question to all of these ideas is "how?" guillaumeb Apr 2018 #46
This a radical solution, but DeminPennswoods Apr 2018 #53
That would effectively repeal Taft-Hartley. guillaumeb Apr 2018 #64
I think dollars to donuts if DeminPennswoods Apr 2018 #94
We already have someone running on a more bold platform in this area. NCTraveler Apr 2018 #48
