fuck every young climber that's like this to undocumented Americans, go do something else other than politics

bit much guys, this shit isn't a game to some people, where you can just keep losing and cashing in with no consequences for yourself

they're going to flake on this same group of people again, like always, how the fuck are they supposed to feel, and stop fucking telling them to do it the right way™

what you do isn't politics, it's a sports hobby for nerds, what THESE people are doing is politics, and it involved taking a lot of L's, and desperately trying to move a Sisyphean boulder uphill against a whole system calibrated against the public interest

This is just blatantly untrue. Sanders has released more health records than nearly all of his contemporaries –– three different physician summary letters. (thread documenting)

Here are those three physician summary letters, including a long and detailed overview of his full medical history from Sanders' (78) primary care physician.

Joe Biden (77) released, no not his full "medical records going back decades," but rather a detailed three-page summary letter from his primary care physician.

The reason I keep hounding Warren on Medicare for All is that I think she's being fundamentally dishonest about her position, and is trying to muddle the debate and string people along, self-servingly.

It's hard to watch her events or interviews and not get the clear impression that:
– she doesn't prioritize it, and rarely mentions it in her stump
– she defines it simply as universal healthcare, and "the best coverage for the lowest price"
– she doesn't have a "plan" posted

– she doesn't ever talk about policy specifics, as if she doesn't want to give up a soundbite
– she doesn't define the transition or timeframe
– she doesn't define the coverage
– she pivots to a criticism of insurance companies (good, but… deflection from an affirmative policy)

50% of Klobuchar
21% of Beto
19% of Biden
15% of Buttigieg
12.5% of Booker
6% of Bernie <—*

Whoops, there goes the narrative.

In Wisconsin, last month, same polling company.
