its a bad look though and that hand raise at the first debate will haunt whoever ends up being the nominee in the general. thats the best ammo the republicans could ever hope for and they will hammer it over and over again.

turning illegals away at the er isnt politically viable even for conservatives but its still a tough pill to swallow for people that letting them go to the doctor would actually save money over the way things work now when healthcare is as fucked and expensive as it is currently. dems are fucking awful at choosing their battles when it comes to this kind of messaging.

that and "i'm going to tax the hell out of the rich!"

We've already seen over the past decade that "the rich" is a term the left uses rather ambiguously, and is more aptly used to describe a comparison of the wealth of the average american as it relates to the wealth of a third worlder.

I also like how the left heavily pronounced the word "Billion" when they described the insurance industry as earning 86billion in profits last year, while downplaying the extremity of the GND costing just 21 trillion (lowercase).

86 billion is 0.04% of 21 trillion, if you're going to exclaim one word over the other, you would naturally want to exclaim the number that's 245times larger than the other.

Also, 86 billion is 286$ per american citizen; whereas 21 TRILLION is $70,000 per american citizen, or about 20 years of 100% of the american population's taxes, and seeing as how they can't even balance the budget as it stands RIGHT NOW, how does the left propose paying for it on top of raising federal income taxes by 15 to 20% to pay for "Medicare-for-all".

The simple answer? They can't actually accomplish what they're promising; even with 100% of our income.
