@SeaGreenEyez I'm not emotional about it at all. How many of those Dems with a plan are still running? Only Bernie and he is toast. They can't get the votes. I my be a leftie and support all that Bernie does, but l am a realist who understands this is a centrist nation and will be for awhile. You should know, you live in the middle of it. I am so bored with the "corporate Dems" argument. It is a corporate world. Everything is corporate. China and Russia are corporate, and that won't change in your lifetime for sure.

@SeaGreenEyez If you think we can just switch to a national bealth care system in a very short time you are being incredibly naive. It will happen someday just not quickly. Blaming Obama is just plain silly. How would you get the Congress to fiance it? Right now that would never happen. You couldn't just take from the insurance companies over night. The economic fall-out would be catastrophic. As l said it will happen, but it will be very complicated and take time. It may not happen until the Boomers are pretty much gone. This virus may speed it up and it may not. Americans have very short memories when it comes to the bad.

@SeaGreenEyez If you can't get Congress to pay for it what does it matter. If trump could EO it out of existence he would, but he couldn't. He anounced a lot of EOs that got shot down in the courts, but no one pays attention to that. This is not on Obama at all. He is the first President in your lifetime who managed to change the system at all. He got what he could knowing it would kill him in the midterms, and it did. He said on the day he signed the bill it was just a place to start. Without the ACA we would still be where we were with no end in site. The Supreme Court has already ruled the ACA is Constitutional.

He couldn't get universal healthcare. It was all he could do to get the ACA. You can't get all Dems in the Congress to vote for universal healthcare and no Republicans would vote for it. ACA was the start in that direction. It will be a slow, complicated, and difficult transition to a Govt run system because we have let the costs get out of hand.

@Cutiebeauty That is a horrible idea. If you think there is no difference between Biden and trump then you really aren't paying attention. If nothing else we could end up with a 7/2 Supreme Court.

@SeaGreenEyez There are sociopaths in all walks of life. There are doctors, lawyers, business men. Of the 5 sociopaths I have known in my life, four males and one female, the males were all into some criminal activities and the female was not. The men were all very smart, which is why the were successful. The lady is not and her life stays a mess because she can't keep track of her lies. Those sociopathic traits can actually work well for some lawyers and doctors.

@TomMcGiverin If they are held they will and some if not all will be held. Which of those states do you think Bernie can win? Whether the primaries are cancelled is up to the individual states. The DNC has no control over that. You must remember Bernie is not a Democrat. He is a registered Independent. That does not help him. His proclamation of being a Socialist doesn't help him either. We have people in both the House and Senate who are nonbelievers and we have and have had Presidents who are nonbelievers, but you can't say that and win in this country. It is the same with being a "Socialist". You can be one just don't say it out loud. Bernie is his own worst enemy. He is a good man with good ideas, but politically he ain't that sharp.

@Fred_Snerd Most of it has been the fact that the press and the parties spend so much time and money digging into every nook and cranny of politician's lives looking for dirt, that it isn't worth it. If you are someone who has tried much in life you will have a skeleton or two in your closet. Therefore we end up with the lame douchebags we have now for the most part. That won't change anytime soon. Also don't forget about the Citizens United ruling by the conservative run SCOTUS allowing corporations to dump unlimited amounts of money into the political system pretty much selling democracy down the river.

@skado Delusional is a state of mind. If I call someone smart they don't get upset. Wouldn't that be name calling? We only call it "name calling" if it is deemed negative. We don't call it "name calling" if it is deemed positive. That is just silly and quite stupid. Delusional is an accurate description at this time for many Bernie cultists as it is the trump cultists. They both act and sound the same. That is a fact.
He clearly thinks that money is THE most important thing on everyone's minds.

Maybe not everybody, but for most people in America that would be true. People shop for recreation or out of boredom in this country. What other countries do this?
Sticks48 replies on Mar 14, 2020:
@itsmedammit Shopping is part of greed. Owning shit you don't need is greed. Most Americans don't have the means to accumulate money, but they do have credit cards, so they run up their debt buying shit they don't need. Credit card debt in this country is $1.04 TRILLION. This is not true in other societies.

@skado I did not call anyone a name. I look at facts and make a judgment. We do this everyday all day long. You have nothing to counter my argument because it is based on reality. i don't respect the delusional, otherwise I would have to respect trumpers. Where is this information and where are these unicorn lands? I don't respect childlike behavior from adults and that is exactly what Bernie followers are acting like. If they don't get their way they will just take their ball and go home. That is reckless , irresponsible, and just plain old stupid. This is how we ended up with trump in the first place.

@skado It won't happen fast under anyone. Nothing happens fast. Black people have been struggling for equality for over four hundred years. It took women over a century to get the vote. The gay rights movement started in the 70s and that fight continues. Change happens when generations pass and shrink significantly in numbers. That is fact. Check your history.

@Novelty I guess I just don't see myself as being delusional about anything, maybe when I was in my 20s, but not since then. Maybe a couple of things I hope for are a little delusional, but sense I recognize this, it really isn't delusional.
I suspect this is just conjecture, but it is similar to my guess about how things really work.

@MissKathleen Clinton got 16,9i4,7222 votes. Sanders got 13,206,428 votes. Making shit up is not the answer. That is what Fox and trump do. Biden will beat Trump. Bernie can't get Medicare for all passed . He can't get enough Dems to vote for it and will get no Republicans. No free college. State Universities are run by the state, not the Federal government. They have no jurisdiction in the matter.
