Can you help me out and post the vote counts?

if false information is put out to take him down...and let me just say 'the truth shall set you free'.

Right?

didn't want Sen. Sanders to run in 20 are now on the bandwagon. How will it end? He won't win the nomination in my opinion.

Stubborn things they are.

I am dealing with some "conservative" morons on Facebook. I am so disgusted with those people. They are pushing the Omar is an anti-Semite crap really, really hard.

I come here and find the same kind of partisan smear crap. WTF?

Or not. I don't know what you think you're referring to. I believe my statement was clear. I meant what I said, and said what I meant.

So which part of "I prefer Democrats" tripped you up?

And Beto was actually a co-sponsor of one of them.

It’s never come up for a vote. Nor did BS ever vote for the senate version of the bill. No senator ever bothered to write one.

As far as I can tell they were never voted on.

...no further action on HR 676 since 2018 (added a sponsor).

No further action on HR 15 either, since 2017 when it was referred to the House Committee on Education and the Workforce.
.

Just fyi: A group called "Demand for Universal Care" ENDORSED BETO.

I guess we should all know that by now.

Thanks.

None of this is true.

First of all HR 15 - Raise the Wage Act. Beto was a frickin co-sponsor of this bill. Here is the link to the ACTUAL bill, where you can find his name listed under co-sponsors. https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/house-bill/15

Secondly, HR 676 only allowed for Medicare reimbursements to non-for-profit organizations and NOT for-profit (e.g. hospitals, private practices). That is why he didn't support it. He said he is considering sponsoring an amendment to the resolution to allow reimbursements to for-profits or creating an entirely new bill.

He has been vocal on his position on Healthcare, which you can see here:
https://egbertowillies.com/2018/02/11/beto-orourke-d-medicare-for-all/

Here we go again. I hope we don't see a repeat of 2016, but it looks like this Summer For Progress group is starting this right out of the gate.

...they have no qualms about misrepresenting the facts.

...And they're not 100% accurate. We all know that many times legislators do not co-sponsor bills even if they actually support the bill.

Do you know how he voted on those two when they came up for a vote and if they passed?

#fleethebern

Bernie people trying desperately to cut Beto down and failing.




Why don't the Bernie supporters post positive messages about why Bernie is better instead of cutting down the eventual nominee/s and damaging them irreparably?

Do Bernie supporters want Trump to win?

Sen. Sanders.

now that they know Bernie will not win the nomination ....to make every Democrat unfavorable so that Trump can win.

I have seen this movie before.

judges and it won't matter who wins for a generation.

Why would you say that?

New Hampshire has always been an good indicator of the country. From two weeks ago:

https://scholars.unh.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1551&context=survey_center_polls


Sanders LEADS, even against Biden in this poll, which is rare. Even if he comes second to Biden in other polls, I do not know how you can go out on a limb and announce YOU know that THEY know their preferred candidate, that perpetually comes out on top or near the top of every poll, "will not win".

I have been wondering what happened as I read the almost blind advocacy posts that tear democrats down.

And we can see from the logos across the bottom who is responsible for this non factual garbage.

or any other candidate can beat Trump. We can’t afford the narcissism of ideological purity.

HR15 and the other one never came for a vote. This is typical of the lying and smearing we all saw before. Same bad actors. Same old shit.

is on the right side of the first one too right?

LMAO.

What a fail.

in some configuration will have my vote.

Beto would be wasted as vice president and Kamala is too easily tagged as California liberal from the top spot. I don't mind Kamala as bulldog #2 but her attack style would not hold up well as nominee. Charisma has to be first against an incumbent

Frankly I feel both are wasted as VP, both worthy of the top spot, and I personally think Kamala has star power/charisma on the level of Beto. These are two of my favorite candidates in years, so I'm willing to wait and see how the primaries shake out, but we're lucky to have Dems of this caliber competing.

This is taking one thing and calling it something it is not in service of tearing an opponent down.

That's the stuff of "fake news."

....of those graphics or, at best, delete the OP.

Not a single response since the OP was posted early this morning.

Your post got me to thinking. I didn’t realize the OP only posted this and hasn’t participated in their own thread.

Whenever someone makes a post in this forum, I have an expectation that they will engage with others on that post. Breaking news is a little different. People don’t necessarily need to Engage about a breaking news story if they’re just reporting that it happened.

Clearly, this post was intended to make people question Beto’s support of a universal system of healthcare. When in reality, he has spoken forcefully in favor of universal healthcare. I believe I read elsewhere, though my memory may not be right, of Beto saying he would use the affordable care act as the platform on which to build. I support that approach. People underestimate how broad and yes, wonderful, Obamacare is. The 10 essential health care benefits it defines make for comprehensive coverage. A public option is the missing link.

it indicates the following:

It never came up for a vote. Saying somebody voted against a bill that the House never even voted on is out and out untrue.

Why would anybody spread a fake talking point here?

The mother-land demands it. Same playbook, because it worked so very well last time.

Does crap like the OP help us to crush Republicans?

This Fox News oppo research amuses me

His platitudes sound wonderful (swoon).

Perfect fodder for when BS supporters complain about any fake or unfair stuff coming their way.

that those that give them money ask them to vote...including Bernie Sanders. Perhaps that's why B.S. has so many small dollar donors.

Follow the money the saying goes.

It will cut out the facade and reveal the man or woman in reality.

Why Bernie Sanders is backing a $1.5 trillion military boondoggle

https://www.cnbc.com/2016/07/12/why-bernie-sanders-is-backing-a-15-trillion-military-boondoggle.html

Can you show me where she is backing away from Medicare for All? You link doesn't back up your claim.

Then again, with an op like this one......

Part of Warren's reply at the link zero provided.

So, let’s start with the battle we’re having right now and talk about the things we need to be doing, because I don’t want to lose sight of this. It’s good to talk about our overall goal, and here’s our overall goal. This is what distinguishes Democrats from Republicans. Democrats believe health care is a basic human right. And we fight for basic human rights. Our obligation is to make sure that everybody gets coverage at the lowest possible cost to all of us. So what does that mean? Right now, it means fighting the Republicans who are trying to sabotage the Affordable Care Act. We’ve got this lawsuit going on down in Texas where the Republicans are trying to do what they couldn’t do with the vote, and that is trying to repeal the Affordable Care Act, to make it OK to discriminate against people with pre-existing conditions, to cut off access to health care for millions of Americans. So job number one is to defend the affordable care act.

Job number two is to make changes where we need to make them right now. Changes to hold insurance companies accountable when they’re trying to cheat people, when they’re trying to scam people. Changes right now, and what’s happening with drugs, prescription drugs. We need to lower the cost of prescription drugs. One in four Americans say they can’t take drugs that are prescribed to them because they can’t afford to pay for them. I have, for example here, a proposal for generic drugs, which are about 90 percent of prescriptions that people fill, to bring those costs down to just a nominal cost.

And the third, how do we get universal coverage. Medicare for all. Lots of paths for how to do that. But we know where we are aiming. And that is, every American has health care at a price they can afford. And that the overall costs in the system are held as low as possible.

So right now, there are multiple bills on the floor in the United States Senate. I’ve signed onto Medicare for All. I’ve signed on to another one that gives an option for buying in to Medicaid. There are different ways we can get there. But the key has to be always keep the center of the bullseye in mind. And that is affordable health care for every American.

If you dispute the article take it up with the author.

I dispute your faulty characterization.

I like her answer. I just posted it so it provides more transparency than your comments with just the drop of your link. Just like the op has been thoroughly vetted.

The flyer doesn't say what you said. You made it up and now refuse to admit a mistake. Maybe it's not a mistake.

Google the Clinton care...that was an attempt to force all on one plan...failed miserably.

Those two graphics in your OP represent those Democrats who co-sponsored the two bills in question, not any subsequent votes.

Thanks!

SO say it like it is here.

"Are you planning on addressing why you lied in the OP subject line?" is better. After all, we cannot attack Trump on things people do on our own side, like lying, not releasing taxes etc, if we do not also call it out on our side.

businesses to cut hours for workers. I heard that especially about restaurants. So I would consider it a good thing that Beto opposes it.

It just went up to $16

I’m sure you “heard that”. Now do you have any actual evidence?

Much better than expected.

Fun fact: Unlike the votes mentioned in the op, did you know Sanders is on record as voting against a pathway to citizenship? That’s not made up. Biden supported it in the same vote. As did a most Democrats.
