I've tried to refrain from crapping on her that much throughout this whole ordeal because I'm committed to voting for Bernie in the primary and I have bias. I thought she completely screwed up by answering that reporters question about the supposed phone-bank candidate "smear" flyer and then going on record saying that Bernie specifically said "A women cannot win the presidency."
Whatever, okay, it's a primary and she's attacking him now and Bernie goes on record denying that he said such a phrase, at least in some blatant manner. Her not trying to squash that crap last night at the debate was ugly, it made me lose a lot of respect for her even though she's still my second pick (just a much more distance pick now). Bernie didn't handle it the best either because he wanted to rehash the details, him trying to make a point that he beat an incumbent technically less than 30 years ago seemed dumb too, but she somehow came out looking more untrustworthy in that exchange (especially because CNN seemed hellbent on smearing Bernie).
Yes, in Canada doctors literally refuse to see patients for months knowing they have cancer. That is 100% how it works, the libertarian think-tank told me so!
Hey look, factual data that says this happens!

* Some poor person who makes just enough to not qualify for Medicaid, on his deathbed because he was too worried about the cost for his family to go to a doctor which could have diagnosed him early for cancer *
* Enter hornhorn, a big smart boy with math skills holding a copy of Atlas Shrugged *
Hornhorn: That's just the way it works, sorry dude. Do you even math bro?
If you just can't bring yourself to guarantee healthcare to all Americans because you're that worried about cost, inefficiencies, etc then you are not the voter we're trying to reach. Go take your ball, bitch on the internet, and vote for Trump or Gary Johnson again and smell your farts because you're a smart big boy.
Nah, go vote for a Republican if you're so fucking worried about how much this is going to cost instead of how much we've spent in Iraq and Afghanistan without somehow crippling the economy.
ONLY IF THE ~* MARKETS *~ ARE THE ONES WHO DO SO! Gubment bad! I like my family deductible being at $10k if I go to an out-of-network hospital (or an out-of-network doctor in an in-network hospital)! That's just the invisible hand making sure I'm taken care of!
Y'all are out here whining about cost when people literally do not go to the doctor or hospital because they can't afford their deductible, copays, and out of pocket expenses. Lots of people outright refuse an ambulance because of how much you can be charged for just a ride an emergency room visit.
We paid over $6k to have our daughter two years ago because, immediately as a newborn, she had a deductible. That was on top of all the premiums I had to pay. Everyone paying into a single healthcare system would easily be cheaper than rolling the dice on whatever insurance plan your company provides.
It was awkward for sure. I really didn't like it even though you know I'm definitely for Bernie. Just have to remind myself that this shit isn't going to really matter for primary voters in the next few weeks.
It's just mind-numbingly stupid that she didn't get an easy victory by going on the record and saying "I don't know who leaked this, but I never stated that Bernie made a sexist remark like this, we're good friends and I have a lot of respect for him." I can buy that her side did this without her knowledge or possibly someone else, but she stepped on it when there was no need.
holy shit, are you for real? Every single stupid thing they could fling at them they did, misrepresenting past things he wrote, stupid old public access video tapes, his wife's supposed financial wrong-doings in whatever college she was trying to get a stake in. Like do you not have Twitter?
Bwhahaha, fuck that piece of shit. I saw someone on twitter warn he was going to post something a few days ago. Yeah the guy who dressed up like a fake pimp to harm women and people of color who used ACORN is absolutely trustworthy.
I don't know Hugo, she could have simply said "We had a private conversation where we had some disagreements blah blah" especially since her actual statement had the phrasing "Bernie and I agree on most things." It's fanning the flames that are going to hurt both candidates.
For her to sit on it this long until less than a month out from Iowa? If Bernie did this shit you'd be so pissed he was punching the second most left candidate.
Honestly I think he could open up a bit more about himself because he really tries to never talk about his private life, but I get it he's so hyper-focused on things that matter that it isn't worth trying to appear more human to people that really aren't the ones he's trying to reach.
edit: probably already read this Hugo and I'm still pissed off about the stupid crap last night, not really necessary for me to get mad at you on this dumb thread.
