All of this text to avoid the reality that the Democrats have not had the ability to actually get things done and have had the Republicans in office trolling them while they did for the handful of years they held power in DC over the last half century. And again, while fixing a wrecked Republican economy in those first couple years of each presidency before the astroturf movements paid for by the mega wealthy win the Republicans back enough power to really stop everything from getting done.What good is covering everyone if they still have to pay the disgusting high cost of healthcare? The cost is the biggest problem. But of course our government will focus on making sure everyone is covered rather than deal with the problem of high cost because after all getting everyone covered means more profit for the Healthcare industry, which is owned by the insurance companies to begin with. What a surprise?? Why is it insurance rates are so high? Because insurance companies know it doesn't matter how much they spend at the hospital on your Healthcare because they can just raise premiums next year to offset costs.. Why do you think you now sit in a room for 20 minutes waiting to see the doctor when even though you're on time for your appointment its a long wait? Because the glory of having a Healthcare system run by insurance companies hell bent on profit means they now have a doctor working for a Healthcare system instead of private practice, because that's the only way they will get referrals, completely maximizing the Healthcare systems profit(The insurance company) by seeing as many patients a day as possible.. And they do this by now employing less doctors which in turn increases volume of referral rates per doctor. But yeah the fears dumb Republicans used to throw out there about having to wait 2 weeks for surgery and months for an appointment... Those times have come even without nationalized Healthcare.. But yeah you keep supporting that system pal!
That is the problem with the 'both sides' trolling. It lacks reality of history and moves on to the snow flaking.
Then move onto 'the media' trolling.That part is true!
How will they win when they don't get the media coverage to be popular, meanwhile Sarah Palin panders to her constituents to build a bridge to no where and wins, because of unfair election processes that rely on media popularity.. The medias job during elections is pursuading the majority of the mindless masses who can't think for themselves, who idolize pop culture, in the same way, to pick a front runner to be part of the popular group to feel better about themselves. To pick one or the other puppet the puppet masters have hand picked.
Why aren't debates more inclusive??
What is sad is that if you actually believed this, you should actually be able to appreciate that Joe Biden (and shit the majority of the Democrats voted into the house the last few election cycles at least) was firmly in the middle class his entire political career (his taxes are out there if you actually bothered to check and not just rely on your feels). He didn't have all these 'connections' that you claim everyone in politics have.Hi my name is John and my hedge fund owns 35 percent of the cable TV networks and this is my friend Bill. His company owns another 35 percent of the cable networks. This is my father Bob. His hedge fund owns 51 percent of all the newspapers in the country. We've decided Jimmy Longstocking and Terry Snickerling are our candidates.
(all the media shows are Jimmy Lingstocking and Terry Snickerling as viable candidates)
You're like a trout looking for bait.
"What to you propose we DO."
We could start by admitting our government is outdated and not working for the majority. Then we could consider the way of the Swiss who have citizens initiatives and referendums pretty much keeping politicians in check and the power of government in the hands on the people.
In America we elect a bunch of self centered shipbags who make decisions for us and often deciding things that hurt us. I mean yeah it made sense in 1800 when word of mouth traveled by horseback and could take weeks to months to receive pertinent information meaning you needed government to act on your behalf but today with the instantaneous flow of information elected officials should really have no say in anything and should be merely clerks carrying out the will of the public.
