Romneycare, a 5% token movements towards a correct approach, and also private industry funding, a good single issue, a post-covid handout, and more private industry funding mechanisms.
Yeah, see, that's why I asked you those questions about what your actual political affiliations are. What is your definition of "left policy"? Economic stimulation by approving more contracts for private industry is not "left policy", neither are means tested, highly qualified welfare programs. What do you think about the democrats moving to the right on the border, and doing absolutely nothing to combat the insane slew of lies that the republicans have been spouting for, say, the last 30 years? And they are lies, indeed. All this bluster over 3.3%, or maybe 14%, of the population, which is according to every study on the planet pretty much better behaved and provides more in to the system than your average citizen. I have basically never seen a democratic candidate actually give out any statistics to counter that narrative. They have only shifted further rightward.
No. I fully understand that outside of a couple gerrymandered swing states that vote for electoral college members which then go on to maybe vote for who they have been told to vote for by the public, votes do not matter. I understand that this is something which is by design.
Yes. "This does not help your cause" -Guy who hates your cause
If you don't agree with the core positions, then we probably need to be talking about those core positions more than we need to be talking about who to vote for.
Why even engage in the conversation in the first place, then?
