2020 Democratic Challengers Vi: The Undiscovered Country

Re: 2020 Democratic Challengers Vi: The Undiscovered Country

Says the guy who thinks labor is winning despite all data and evidence showing the opposite while also proclaiming that his blue collar career is indispensable while other blue collar jobs that are probably just as skilled and labor intensive aren’t.

It's a slow war. The mere idea of this living wage is proof of it. While I disagree with it, it is gaining steam. Slow is the person who fails to realize that. Remember, one can be on the opposite side, yet still see the long term results.

And my job is not indespensable, yet. It may become so, it may not. I'm fighting to keep it the latter.

Comparing the idea of a living wage versus 40 years of the rich fleecing this nation is laughable. As far as a "slow war" is concerned, Labor is fighting a guerilla war in America because Corporations already occupy it.

Labor is slowly winning.

I repeat, he’s hopeless.

So I missed the debate entirely. My take from the PBP here. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Warren rocked
Biden drooled
Bernie may not even have shown up
Klobouchar, wait, cried?
Tulsi, who did show up, was an idiot
Nobody else should have bothered but Steyer is ugly

Fair summary?

Buttigieg had the best night of the bunch of the part I watched

**** off. That wasn't being condescending. That was explaining because everyone I've explained that to so far didn't know that's where it came from.

When have I EVER made a comment disparaging your job? You can take your sanctimonious martyrdom crap elsewhere.

But he sure has made plenty disparaging comments about people who work at "McJobs"

"Buck up, pull yourselves up by your bootstraps and get yourself a "real job". Like me".

[rufus]

SMDH. You are hopeless. My advice to you is don't get hurt on the job and don't have an accident.

When you're in a union like me you may be replaceable but you don't go anywhere without a fight.

Yeah, the first major injury or illness he gets, we'll see how "not replaceable" he is in his "career"

But maybe they won't replace him. He's impressive, after all.

Capital has too much power so let's not claw back power for labor?

Rube says labor has all the power.

Listening to the reports on the debate. Does anyone really not realize that if Medicare for All passes that means no more insurance premiums? For anyone? That's a huge expense. I can afford to pay a little more in taxes if I'm no longer paying that crap. And it is crap.

Had an MRI for a cyst on my pancreas. This was diagnosed over 2 years ago. I have to have it checked every 2 years. They're watching for growth. My insurance company just denied the claim for the MRI calling it medically unnecessary. Not only that but they FARM OUT the denials to another company.

Yeah, that's a great ****ing system. **** insurance. And, Amy, stop whining.

The people who claim they love their current insurance don’t use it

Except the part where I said I can be replaced. Idiot.

People like Rube will vote against it because "think of how many people will become unemployed when insurance companies dissappear."

One insurance company refused a dental procedure, explaining that teeth are "luxury bones"

The responses to Bernie's social media posts asking for the worst denial ever are both comical and depressing.

And those are "real" jobs!
