SE Hoya Containment Thread (aka Politics)
Welcome to the Official SE Politics Thread. The aim here is for high quality political discussion and debate. The concomitant aim here is for that high quality discussion and debate to NOT devolve into MAD posting, BAD posting, trolling, name-calling our community fracture.
We embark on this project hoping to encourage fair and thorough exchanges of views, and also fair and thorough advocacy for positions. We should learn a lot.
Rules
1. Posters are required to have 50 posts in SE over the last 365 days. This thread is not a proxy for the Politics forum, or an arena for goal-based issue advocacy from people we don't even know.
2. Pure devil's advocacy will not be tolerated unless it is identified by that poster as the aim of the particular post. There will be no run of the mill nitpickery for the sake of nitpickery.
3. This will be enforced loosely, but you are obligated to outline your basic position on whatever issue you're debating. We will not have loaded, gotcha-style internet-standard race to the bottom terrible posting in this thread. That does not mean you have to state every closely-held belief in every debate. You just can't hide the ball. "I'm not sure what my position is" is a completely valid position to hold.
4. Insults are out. You will not resort to that in this thread, because that will ruin this thread.
5. If you demonstrate an ongoing commitment to lowering the quality of discourse through incessant trolling or simply being really terrible, you'll be removed from this thread.
6. These are subject to significant revision as this thread develops.
There is a tradition in SE of better, fuller, funnier discussion of a really wide range of topics. Let's continue that here.
Other than Trump himself, no one is a greater gift to Dems than Vance. Picking him (and not a guy like Rubio) was such an unforced error only someone like Trump could've done it.
Darn, I kinda wanted Walz. Have to assume it's Joever now
If there's one thing the dem establishment is fond of, then it is ****ing over progressives.
you misspelled extremists
Extremist typically don't want things like free health care.
Cause you know that thing all the other 1st world countries have including Israel.
those extremists want a safe climate!
all democrats want a safe climate. extremists want to ban anything that remotely negatively effects the climate, or worse, that they perceive negatively effects the climate.
all democrats want some sort of universal healthcare. extremists have no concept what that would take and just say DO IT!! SOME OTHER COUNTRY A FRACTION OF OUR SIZE WITHOUT THE COMPLEXITIES OF OUR COUNTRY DOES IT!!!!!!!!11
GOOD THINGS ARENT POSS-I-BULLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!

Is this how you envision progressives?

small countries like...China?
lol, my wife is Chinese and has a current health issue. would you like to discuss the healthcare system compared to the united states?
she lived in shanghai literally across the street from the hospital. let me know when you are ready.
dumbass
maybe your wife should work harder
lol, that's what i thought.
you love getting your **** pushed in don't you. lol, ****ing idiot.
your sample size of one is noted
thinman convinced me. we have great healthcare in USA! but I'm mostly just going off his argument cuz I haven't been able to afford to go to the doctor or dentist in 30 years
lol if you think china's is better you are welcome to give it a shot.
i recommend the dentist first. you may be waiting in line those 30 years for the doctor...
Unique snowflakiness of the US just doesn't make possible of any advances anywhere or adopting anything from outside.
Thoughts and prayers.
thinman - gf dropped a glass cup which shattered on its way down to the ground and sliced her foot wide open
went to hospital to get it stitched up - bill without insurance was like $30
a few years earlier my brother in law comes and visits and gets some kind of lung infection, take him to the hospital, they do a full checkup, even give him an mri to check for fluid builup etc
again, no insurance, but doctor's visit, mri, other various testing and medication in total was like $65
usa is great if you have good insurance through an employer, otherwise the cost efficient china model is far superior
bidenomics, baby! 4 more years
more like 14% more GENOCIDE amirite?
Ok then, let's go Walz deep
Hillary must be so mad that Kamala keeps making good choices
