    Nice to see you being the fiscal conservative. Where were you the last 8 years?

    No idea what you mean by that. I expect you misunderstood my post.

    You seem to care where the money comes from to pay for government largesse.

    You didn't care about printing $trillions and borrowing many $trillions over the past 8 years for the same purpose.

    No not just the young, but the tax payers. 60% to 70% of the people get their health insurance via the self insured employers who do not pay the inflated premiums.

    Defensive much?
    So you wasted your vote, didn't bother to participate.
    That's fine, as long as you aren't complaining about the outcome.

    Denny does the same thing, so it's not related to being young.
    Of course, he looooooves Trump, so maybe that's one difference.

    Sure, but the elderly and the sick don't tend to pay a lot of taxes, so it's back to the young and healthy again.

    Sure, if a company takes on part of the risk, the premium cost goes down. Similarly, if the government takes on part of the risk, the premiums go down. Single payer for the win.

    People who attempted to force Clinton down the throats of Americans are at fault.
    I'm allowed to complain about that, just like everything else.
    You wasted your vote by voting for Clinton.
    Don't like the logic I'm using? stop trying to use it on me.

    I think you are. Your positions on issues change 180 degrees depending on who's president, instead of what's right or you believe in.

    Nobody attempted to force Clinton down the throats of Americans any more than people attempted to force Bernie, or Trump, or Jill Stein down our throats.

    Ok, that's fair. I do not mean to deny you the right to complain about whatever you want to complain about.
    I mean, you can cut your nose off to spite your face, and then complain about not being able to smell. It's a free country.

    That's true. I didn't get much out of the vote, other than the satisfaction of knowing that I did what I could to stop Trump from being President.

    I like your logic fine.

    No, you just think my position changed. I wanted single payer then, I want single payer now.

    It's funny because it's irrelevant and misleading?

    Clinton won the majority of the votes in the primaries, and the majority of the pledged delegates, in addition to the majority of the superdelegates.
    Eliminate the superdelegates, she still won.

    The superdelegates most certainly swayed the primaries in Clinton's favor. The drumbeat of the media was Clinton can't lose, which depresses voter turnout for her opponents. It most certainly affected any momentum Sanders might get from the start.

    That and the dirty dealings the DNC had to put down Sanders' effort, witness WikiLeaks and DCLeaks emails.

    Even this support for single payer is hypocritical.

    Like I said, you didn't care about printing $trillions and borrowing $10T more to pay for similar worthless things.

    "Where does this money that the Feds help with come from?"

    No idea what point you think you are making, sorry. You think it is hypocritical to observe that federal spending comes from tax dollars?

    You got satisfaction out of the billionaire class democratic candidate fix? okay, thanks Donna Brazile

    You like my logic? Hm, I guess I should have used green font so you could figure out I was mocking you.
