2020 Democratic Presidential Nominees

Maybe, since the worms are clearly eating my brain already on all this nonsense, I'll just start a policy thread and keep to that if the dialog is too poisonous. Ilhan's Green Homes policy dropped today, and it rules.
 
Pete being a dick and using republican framing to attack some progressive policy ideas is bad and dumb. Pretending Pete is running as a republican is also bad and dumb.

In my mind, they’re similar propositions. If it’s just a matter of phrasing, then sure, using Republican framing is bad and dumb. Even odious.

i'm cynical or skeptical? you and the other bernard brothers "Just asking questions !" is the only odious thing around here
 
I'm in for a policy thread for sure. My guy Adam Gaffney published an interesting paper about increased utilization rates using historical evidence of large expansions in health care coverage. The TLDR conclusion is that some of the scores of various M4A proposals (like the most recent Urban score that got lots of press) are assuming pretty large increases in utilization that are probably higher than they should be, which has huge implications on financing.

That is probably paywalled. I can send PDF if anyone is interested.

For a big fan of “this is why trump won”-style arguments, you don’t appear to actually do much to affect politics in a particularly important part of the country. What badge covers that combo?

That has to be a criticism of a public option approach, no? I have access to this one, will give it a read. There is one perk of working in publishing.
 
ITC just argues in bad faith all the time. Doesn't engage on policy, has used the phrase "bernie bro" over 120 times on the boards, isn't worth trying. Catamount talks more about policy ideas than ITC, and that dude is barely smart enough to use a computer.

yawn - long winded deflection from the guys who talk about how hard they work to beat trump but can't even commit to pulling the D lever for certain candidates
