The chance that our American Taliban will propose Medicare for All is zero.

not try to block it. It's only the Rethugs who are knee-jerk obstructionists.

Yeah when hell freezes over. And why would Democrats block it? Just because Republicans proposed it? No, that's how they do business.

The Republican platform is going to be the same as it's been for years:

"If Democrats get elected it's going to be the end of America as we know it!" Whine, bitch, cry, rinse and spin and start all over..

if the repubs attached a rider to eliminate social security. The bill would not pass.

But since you are just making shit up you could also say the Dems would block it if The Repubs "attached a rider" to legalize slavery.

Which is maybe the #1 reason Turd Wayism is stubbornly stupid, the tactics don't have the supposedly desired outcomes. The TeaPubliKlans aren't forced to the middle nor are they pushed over the edge of the political spectrum, instead we have acted as willing accomplice in moving the entire political spectrum to the right and despite all the phony ass talk about "the big tent" the very same folks work tirelessly to cut off the ideas and ideals that don't play well with the corporate right. The "tent" is only permitted to grow to the right.

It is marketing meant to cut off arguments about failing to serve the "small people", pithy marketing speak for shut the fuck down and shut the fuck up.

Here's a start

FDR's 2nd Bill of Rights ~

“Among these are:
The right to a useful and remunerative job in the industries or shops or farms or mines of the nation;
The right to earn enough to provide adequate food and clothing and recreation;
The right of every farmer to raise and sell his products at a return which will give him and his family a decent living;
The right of every businessman, large and small, to trade in an atmosphere of freedom from unfair competition and domination by monopolies at home or abroad;
The right of every family to a decent home;
The right to adequate medical care and the opportunity to achieve and enjoy good health;
The right to adequate protection from the economic fears of old age, sickness, accident, and unemployment;
The right to a good education.
All of these rights spell security. And after this war is won we must be prepared to move forward, in the implementation of these rights, to new goals of human happiness and well-being.
America's own rightful place in the world depends in large part upon how fully these and similar rights have been carried into practice for all our citizens.
For unless there is security here at home there cannot be lasting peace in the world.”

And the fools that keep telling pollsters they disapprove of the ACA because it's not liberal enough don't deserve it.

If the ACA fails, people will distrust government from meddling in health care for years to come. Good luck getting single-payer then!

So single-payer supporters (like me) need to suck it up and start defending this law as the great progressive accomplishment it is because it's the reality and will be for years to come and stop pushing for replacing it with a plan that is more liberal. That would destroy this Democratic president's legacy and set us back for years in championing government's ability to do things.

but that single payer is Mrs. Edith Gunderson of Wilkes-Barre PA.
