    EXCEPT:

    85% of Dems DON'T Support Medicare for All.

    That "Characterization" is WRONG.


    And the article that you linked to is pushing BS.

    Here is the ACTUAL Finding from the poll that you linked to in the cited article:

    KFF polling finds more Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents would prefer voting for a candidate who wants to build on the ACA in order to expand coverage and reduce costs rather than replace the ACA with a national Medicare-for-all plan (Figure 12).

    [​IMG]

    So you actually cited a Poll that says the exact opposite of what is being claimed by the linked article.

    You cited a Poll that completely destroyed your argument.


    It seems to me that it is a Great Strategy not to include something in the platform that is OPPOSED by 55% of Dems/Dem-Leaning Independents.

    Thanks again for posting a Poll that made my work (in proving your assertion wrong) easy.

    As far as withdrawall of troops, there is bipartisan support against it !!!!!

    https://thehill.com/policy/defense/...troops-from-germany-draws-bipartisan-warnings
    The conservative Heritage Foundation, meanwhile, blasted out a news release Tuesday labeling Trump’s planned drawdown as a “mistake” and calling on Congress to block any funding to reduce the number of U.S. troops in Europe.

    IMO Donald has taken Hillary's place in a way.

    Nobody likes him.

    100% of Republicans support the following health care initiative:

    - Blow up Obamacare because it has Obama in the title, and replace it with......uh..... Socialism???

    A lot of things take a long time.

    But... the country will be such a wreck by the time he is sworn in, he will be looking at solutions he would have earlier rejected out of hand. If we get the Senate, they will be out the door toot suite.

    What a f***ing mess.

    Did Biden run on Medicare for All?

    No? Final Answer?

    There you go and you didn't even sprain your brain.

    Biden is running as the left wing puppet. Medicare for All is just the tip of the iceberg. He also wants to defund the police.

    Lol AOC and Ilhan Omar are telling Biden to put in reparations and the green new deal.

    Biden is the furthest left democrat candidate ever his own staff says he's more to the left than FDR.

    So out of ALL of that, they decided to scrap medicare for all which 85% of the parties voters support?

    Again I ask - Do you have one scintilla of evidence that this is a deal-breaker for any of that 85%?

    Since neither Donnie Dipshit nor Moscow Mitch would ever consider endorsing or allowing MFA, I don't see how this helps them or hurts Biden. YMMV

    The majority of Americans are in support of MedAll along with most of the polices that the DNC will not even add to their platform if only in theory because the estbalishemm Dems are fully corrupted by their corporate bosses.

    Didn't even bother to read the title (or content) of your own link?!?!?

    Second stimulus check updates: Democrats reject White House offer for one-week extension of $600 weekly unemployment benefit, press for more sweeping bill

    Democratic leaders panned the idea in late-night talks at the Capitol, opting to keep the pressure on for a more sweeping bill that would deliver aid to state and local governments, help for the poor and funding for schools and colleges to address the pandemic. Without action, the benefit runs out Friday.


    “They want to do one small thing that won’t solve the problem,” said top Senate Democrat Chuck Schumer after meeting with Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and White House chief of staff Mark Meadows.


    “We have to have a bill, but they just don’t realize how big it has to be,” said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.

    Republicans have been fighting to trim back the $600 jobless benefit in the next coronavirus package, but their resolve weakened with the looming expiration of the popular benefit

    Biden has been (all but officially at the DNC) been selected by the party.

    So the DNC is going against the wishes of the vast majority of its supporters.

    Like I said its a bold strategy-lets see if it pays off.

    I cited YOUR Link in the OP.

    And the Micharacterized Bs Title.

    Now, after you have been totally called out (and proven to be pushing "mischaracterized" Bs), you are backtracking by posting DIFFERENT Links?:roflol:

    Next time you may want to consider putting those links in your OP?

    Instead of relying on an 11-Month-Old Poll (and a Mischarcterized Bs Headline).:roflol:

    Just a friendly suggestion.

    At least you admitted the article in the OP had a misleading headline.

    And, now you are backtracking (and posting different links) after you've been called out
    .

    I can respect that. :salute:

    Lol the press asked Pelosi why she wouldn't approve relief checks for Americans who are hurting right now.

    Turn it up and listen-this is who heads dems in the house.
