Re: Whether politifact is full of shit or not is kind of beside the point.
[quote name="Ray of Light"][quote name="Worm"]Look, I'm not super enchanted with the ACA, but calling for it to be dismantled just so some Republican can put their name on the same exact program just makes you a retard. It could be better, but things don't ever get better when they're dismantled.[/quote]What needs to be dismantled is the insurance industry. It ought not exist. This was abundantly clear in my post, so it is YOU, sir, who is the retard here. [quote]So are you equally supporting Bernie and Trump then?[/quote] It's great that Bernie is turning down PAC money, not so great that he's using his freedom to promote bad ideas. A sampling: <ul> <li>WWIII <li>more 4-year college graduates <li>attemping redistribution of wealth from people who are rich and smart enough to just leave <li>infinite immigration <li>forgiving Hillary's crimes </ul> And let's not forget the #1 with a bullet Bernie mis-step, the one that should have ended his campaign even before two fat sassy black ladies did it for him: <b>Edward fucking Snowden</b>. Bernie wants to see him tried. Yes, Hillary and Trump do too, but that's consistent with their messages. Hillary is marketing herself as a ruthless woman; Trump as an authoritarian nationalist. Of course they want Snowden in prison. But Civil Disobedience Sanders, who says the problem with this country is that too many fat cats get away with their crimes, thinks that the guy who exposed those crimes should go to jail (while politely declining to attack Hillary on her e-mail shenanigans). I think it's because he's a con-man. Yeah, he was an idealistic Doctor-King-marcher-wither, 50 years ago, today he's an old man with a patchy employment record and no savings. His conscience isn't guiding him, on Snowden or anything else. He's pandering. [/quote]
