They were also shocked that the group was unanimous that the Democratic party had allowed housing and healthcare costs to destroy their prospects of attaining the American dream. 

Well this is fairly shocking to me too.

I don't think Fetterman was a pretend Democrat like Sinema.  The stroke clearly changed his brain chemistry.  He's not the same person he was before it.

He was way more pro-Israel than your average Dem even before the stroke. Better than Dr. Oz and superficially more progressive than Conor Lamb. It sucks what happened, but there's no doubt he was the best available option at the time especially when it came to confirming Biden judges

“Healthcare AF”

If you think something like that isn't being cooked up, you haven't been paying attention.

First, it will exist entirely outside of the government.  No Congressional action, anything like that.

INSTEAD, it will be a creation entirely of "the Trump organization," because they really, really care about Americans.  And it will work GREAT.

At delivering dollars from the pockets of poor/working class Americans into the pockets of the Trump family.  At delivering actual healthcare?  Yeah.....not so much.

The American people exist for one reason: to gratify and enrich Donald Trump.  That's it.  That's the sum total of purpose for our entire nation.  We will get policy "solutions" that are consistent with that purpose.

Anyone involved in Democratic politics who is shocked that young people are worried about the cost of living should be thrown into a fucking volcano. That's not some obscure ideological issue that the kids these days are fixated on. 

Well, these were Democrat political professionals. What were you expecting?

I really want to know what fucking planet these people live on that they were shocked by any of this. I mean, I know it's true, I just can't conceive of how it's possible they have insulated themselves that completely. 

Frontline Narrator: But they had insulated themselves that completely.

The follow up from the prospective candidate was predictably inane: “so what’s the answer, guys? Do you think capitalism has let you down?”

Conclusion

 

While support for change in healthcare policy rose between 2000 and 2009, most Americans’ opinions likely crystallized prior to 2009. Since 2009, the public’s level of support for government provision of healthcare rarely crested the 50 percent mark, usually hovering in the 40 percent range.

The name was the best part. It was an instant hit and almost sunk Clinton in 2016, and a lot of otherwise apolitical working class people who wound up voting for Trump wanted it. 
anyway- a large majorities of independents and Democrats want  everyone to have coverage, want their coverage to cost them less, and understand that the government will be involved.  That’s all most people hear when they hear the words Medicare for All. 
 

 Democrats, being morons, took that fact and decided to get wound around the axle about precisely what policy that meant annd fight amongst themselves  instead of focusing on outcomes during campaigns. That’s a recipe for lost support. 
 

Incidentally that’s why I think Elizabeth Warren is so toxic - all her wonky, complicated “I’ve got a plan for that” specificity is the shit that kills democrats, not great brands like Medicare for All.

What's funny is her plans were generally clearer and simpler and easier-sold than most other Dem candidates' plans generally are.  Compare her plans to 2020 Kamala's tax credit for opening a small business in a disadvantaged community or whatever that one was. It's just that Warren was the optimized version of that shit and it still didn't sell to anyone but nerdy libs. Maybe a billionaire businessman Dem could steal her plans and people would buy them better, but that'd be because of the billionaire businessman thing, not the detailed plans.

Detailed plans are for nerdy libs.  

You need to speak fluent "simple and stupid."  Bonus for using words like "tremendous," and "amazing," and "the likes of which no one's ever seen."

You think I'm spouting bitter hyperbole and shit.  I'm not.  Promise people a path to free candy for life and shit, because that's what works.  "I will guarantee every American a job!"  That's what you promise when your actual policy plan is job training programs, tax incentives to businesses based on hiring, and any number of other wonky measures.  "When I'm president, you'll get paid thousands to open a business!"  Don't talk tax credits and ROI and shit.  Open a business?  You get money!

Also, the fact that the Finns managed to kick ass using Brewster Buffalos is awesome.

Well when you have superior pilots and soldiers you can do that in doses. They just needed several million more against the Soviet meat grinder. Really should call it the Russian way of war since every war they join they just send soldiers in to the fight whether they are prepared or not.

The fact that you think the other 2 people you mentioned are nothing like asmongold let's me know you have no idea what you are talking about. If you would have said staysafe or some other red pilled moron then maybe I'd have given you some credit. 

Asmongold was famous before streamers were famous, he is in the same category as people like "reckful" and "sodapoppin". His channel is completely demonetized by his own choice and he doesn't allow donations and doesn't pander for views or likes.

And I was talking about you gatekeeping Linux, who is very fucking clearly not maga.

Holy shit really? You think he started streaming on zackrawr or whatever because of that? 

I'm just done talking a bunch of you about this. It's really just a bunch of nonsense. 

He speaks with the CEO of twitch regularly and told them he didn't want to be monetized and it was actually a problem for the platform because of how large his audience was with no ads being run (because he refused to run them).they actually just forced enabled monetization on his 2nd channel because of this in the last 6 months. 

Some of you really do live in a fantasy alternate reality where everyone you don't agree with is a demon or something.

Jesus you have no idea about this guy and it's hilarious. The only reason I do is because I've played WoW since 2004. The dude has more money and more fingers in revenue generation than you can imagine. His first week of monetization after being forced to monetize was nearly 90k. 

He lives in Austin, in a very modest neighborhood, you keep digging this weird deep hole on complete nonsense.

I used to run with a black guy and one day he stopped in the middle of our run and said, "You know you're white, and I have one question about white people that I've never had answered. What's up with birdwatching?"

I didn't have an answer for him other than, "Yeah, shit, that does seem weird now that I think about it."

Granted. To be fair, if you're playing games that are like... Strategy/RPG/Etc, then it works. If you're elderly and diving into the cesspool of society that is like Call of Duty/League of Legends... then ya, god help you.

He usually has some of the worst takes in CR, but I believe this was only a joke. Video games are as responsible for making men into pathetic misogynists as team sports are responsible for making athletes into men who date strippers with pet monkeys

It's an exceptionally boomer take to assume this is a result of video games and not a result of being a chronically online shut-in for your entire teen/adult life and additionally creating a massive echo chamber where you're just entirely talking to yourself in front of an audience of tens of thousands for a decade+ without any kind of accountability.

And baking and birdwatching and some other shit probably help them retain cognitive function better than games.

You know most video games don't require you to engage with anyone or anything other than the game in front of you, right?

In a serious take: I don’t birdwatch but have accepted a few invites to go. It’s not bad.

You’re outside, first of all, and you have a reason to disconnect from the bad news machine in your pocket. You engage your senses and combine it with just the right amount of focus. You’re listening and looking and paying attention but it’s not an adrenaline dump into your brain. And then if you do it right, you see this whole little animal that maybe you never saw or noticed before but that shares this planet with you, doing its own thing. And that’s cool. It’s some time using our senes the way they evolved over millennia to be used. 
 

I think you can get the same experience hunting or fishing or hiking or almost anything that motivates you to go touch grass, literally.
