The only people who cared about that were people who weren't voting for her to begin with

Bottom 5 if youre a minority or a woman

We always hear about the right messing up but the left aren't angels either.

America haters should move to another country. Legitimately. You're not going to change anything about American society on your own and you're just going to be miserable. Find a job in another country and move there.

I'd say somewhere like Sweden probably is or Aruba if you're cool with a laid back lifestyle

are the 10 gop members who voted no also armenian genocide deniers

This is not, "the left eating itself". This is people who probably happen to sit on the left side of the poltiical spectrum having very different ideas about a particular issue.

People with difference of opinion on the left - "the left is devouring itself again!"

Everyone has the same opinion on the left - "liberal hive mind"

The story changes, but the plot's always the same.

I don't think you understood my comment. Criticism is good, and just because someone is "on your team" doesn't mean you should stop thinking critically about what they do and say.

Let me put it another way. It would be nice if the conservative party would "eat itself" occasionally, instead of stumbling around making pathetic attempts to explain away every unexplainable act or comment that Donald Trump makes and losing credibility in the process.

It's extremely telling of how conservatives think that you would suggest "the left" is a homogenous entity that is not allowed to be critical of others roughly on the same political spectrum.

There's a big civil war going on in the LGBTQ community. All I can say is that there won't be any winners in this.

math is a tool of the alt right used to spread misinformation

In most countries you could have the majority of the population in the capital in an afternoon, and they could be back to work later that day. In comparison, most people in the US aren't going to spend $600 to fly 5 hours each way to protest.

A lot of "why isn't the US like these other countries" questions can be answered by "it's just that big."

Retrain the displaced coal miners to dig up thorium.

well he did ONE thing right. he still propped up the industry as a whole with wasted billions of our tax dollars.

Thing is I don't know how accessible renewable energy is to large metropolitan areas.

I know where I live we still rely on traditional energy resources. No effort has been made to wean or transition to something different that is better so it leaves me to wonder what about the rest of the country.

Yes let me shop around for hospitals while I'm unconscious and bleeding out, lol

Honestly, cool.

But if traditional energy is going to fail (and I want it to), we need to make sure the renewable energy resources that are going to replace it can handle the workload.

so instead of investing in clean energy like OBAMA did. TRUMP decided to bail out coal-a dead industry.

TRUMP A MORON

But Trump was gonna bring back coal

Colon checks are standard for old people aren't they? Like a yearly thing? Or are they different procedures?

i think laser eye surgery is one of the few things that works this way. drove costs way down and you can look up where you wanna go and what you wanna pay

So your family member owed a $100 copay for insurance you claim they didn't have? Also, nowhere in the real world can you talk to the hospital and and negotiate giving them so little money. Based on some quick research, unless you are in an extremely rare situation, the most you can expect to get your costs reduced by is about 40%.

yeah of course he's just making stuff up

I wonder what the american health care system would look like if they just turned away people who can't pay would it get cheaper?

The reason costs aren't inflated in other countries is because they don't have insurance as a middle man.

Hospitals have such ridiculous charges because they're preempting the insurance companies haggling those charges down when it comes time to pay out.

So you're saying that we don't even need insurance, and that all anyone in America has to do is "talk to the hospital" and they'll immediately drop all charges?

Can I sue you if this doesn't work?

You're right, it's so much better having a healthcare corporation take that money out of your paycheck instead, so that they can not cover you and you still owe them thousands in debt for a life-saving operation.

Also, our current system costs more than that so lol. Even the Koch brothers own study say so.

*government takes money out of your paycheck as taxes so that you get good health insurance*

Libertarians: This is tyranny.

*employer takes money out of your paycheck to give to an insurance corporation, you get dogshit insurance and are in medical debt for the rest of your life if you ever need an operation*

Libertarians: This is great, actually. True freedom.

A family member of mine was in vacation in Poland. He has no insurance, American, European, or otherwise. He gets in an accident and breaks his arm. Has to go to a Polish ER. He gets a CAT scan, they fix him up, put his arm in a sling and give him some painkiller meds. In and out in a day.

You know what the grand total was?

Ninety whole f***ing dollars. Just $90. And this is with no insurance whatsoever.

I will forever be completely fine with paying $1700 a year on healthcare (my current contribution at my wage), even if I don't use it, because people do need it and one day I will need it or my family will need it.

Healthcare shouldn't even be a business

"Put it on a payment plan. "

lol

Why'd you guys derail tcs topic so hard by responding to that obvious troublemaker

Sure Obamacare is shit, but it's better than the GOPs solution of "Die in a gutter or get better"

I seem to be reading a part where you stated "The average person will probably get 2 or 3 in their lifetime."
