Cool. We could be just like Cuba.

We're on the way, with someone who becomes the tyrannical dictator without the ability to function as a proper administrator.

And as some of us have been hoping,

A new, liberal tea party is forming. Can it last without turning against Democrats?

They are still getting organized but they do know who their enemies are.


Just remember I will never support a party that you and Ice are members of. I like to win and I don't cheat.

Thanks for the link Raj.
Interesting to note the helping hand of Plan Parenthood and Indivisible Guide at raucous town hall meetings.

Now to answer the question: The new liberal tea party will further isolate the Democrats from the hinterland and will burn their (Democrats) traditional leaders.

For now I am not so sure. Money trumps ideology in politics, the TP had Koch bros., who will fund a new Progressive Party. I am hoping some of the tech billionaires since they tend to be fiercely independent and don't need the wealth.
And the Democratic Party is rotten to the core and will use every dirty trick in the book, a la Putin. Sorry couldn't resist.

If we have an identifiable leader say like Bernie, we can self fund. But Bernie is tainted and Warren is still tethered to DNC. Needs to be someone new and younger IMO and there is no one yet.

What we could be is just like Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, etc. and that's what I'm committed to working towards.

Conservatives should support Bernie thus insuring the failure of progressive concepts like single payer and a minimum wage. Bernie is just good for shooting the shit with Chuck Todd.

I actually like single payer myself.

Keep voting Republican. They will certainly pass it someday. After all, the welfare of the common man is their heartfelt concern.

Could be that the common man could consider his health his on responsibility rather than the government as well.

Too late for that, period.

Common man simply cannot afford healthcare since the entire system has been gamed. A self employed friend of mine stopped by today, he was paying $18K/yr for his and his wife's health insurance with 30% copay, and then they got dropped. He turned 60 and his wife is a bit younger.

So he retired (no more income & he is not wealthy), qualified for Obamacare and he is now paying $90 each a month.
