He called for DC to become a state, to get rid of the electoral college, and basically said change the constitution.

Those are civil war starting views
Yeah there's reasons I can't vote for him.
 
They are full of shit, and that is why Bernie points to Canada and every other UHC country in the world to remind people that this isn't pie in the sky promises. Look to any other western country, and see it with your own eyes.
Why are they full of shit? Lots of people like their insurance. It’s just a fact. And they don’t want to risk losing it under the assumption the government will do better.

I’m open to the idea M4A is better but it’s not lying to point to series hurdles.
 
As a side note from a Canadian: I’m pretty sure that we do grant refugee applicants free healthcare, but otherwise if you’re not Canadian, ie an illegal alien, you’re not covered. Not sure why they can’t take this middle of the road approach, granting free healthcare to virtually anyone just because they’re on US soil is clearly insane and will be immensely unpopular with the majority even if they’re pro UHC.
 
Ugh. I'm late to the party. I can't find a YouTube link which I need as wife is watching bachelor finals on main TV so only bedroom with chrome cast. I can't find something castabke. Someone quote and help so I can jump in?
 
I don't think the format is tighter, but the moderation is. Too hectic imo, but that's because there are too many people.

We also regulate it at the provincial level and it's not a right as any province can opt out. Bernie really fucks it up big time every time he points to Canada
 
I love these corporate stooges. We can't give people what they want, we might as well just give Trump the re election if we do that.

There's too many candidates. An AI couldn't organize this shit.

Yep, here in Quebec they have the prices for non citizens posted in every ER.
 
And you clearly don't like what I'm saying about this debate where partisanship plays no role at all...

No, I disagree with what you are saying about this debate.

@NoDak and myself didn't think Bernie did very well in the first debate. He is killing it tonight.

However, when it comes to Bernie, I am quite partisan myself, so fair game I guess.
 
Hickenlooper with the smug facial reactions.

Shades of Biden vs. Ryan debate, Joe.
