There were some real radical ones that are now cool socialist boomers. Most of them suck though. Lots of Anti-vaxxers and snake oil enthusiasts too.
long hot summer of 1967 :hillary-disgust:
1967 summer of love :good-morning:
So I do believe that if you want to have whatever they’re calling their plan - Medicare for All, whatever it is - the path to it is the Affordable Care Act. But we might take that path to something that enables people to have Medicare if they wish or their private insurance if they wish. And I salute them. And if that’s what they believe, God bless them for that. But that is, I think, not the practical path to getting something done.
And again, I say to them, all of these issues - single payer and all that - I have those signs in my basement from 30 years ago. I’m with you as an advocate.
That’s Ana Kasparian and Cenk Uygur
I hate how true this is about Ana. Cenk I expect shit but Ana was on a good track until recently.
You’re not wrong but a counter-point: in CA there is at least a small but significant number of people who actually want good homelessness policies (IIRC even Newsom has actually been ok on this, at least in word if not in deed). Contrast that to a whole lot of other places in the US where I have no doubt that a measure to just round up homeless folks and incarcerate them would pass by overwhelming majorities.
Uh, they just launched concentration camps in Los Angeles where they make hundreds of people camp in tents in an uncovered asphalt parking lot. Los Angeles also just made it illegal to be homeless in like 95% of the city. It’s absolutely bad, and not even good by comparison.
Being “good in word but not deed” is worse than meaningless. Being good in word is just the liberal camouflage for a cleansing campaign.
Walking to Hooters over 3000 homeless people while saying “Clearly mass policing isn’t working well enough”
This is also western Europeans lecturing Americans on our mistreatment of POC, and then defending their own atrocious attitudes toward the Romani.
