17. I don't think the bill passing is the issue.

We know the Rethugs will vote against it, because A)Trump won't let them vote for it, & B)they're flaming assholes who don't give a damn about people.

But it will make them vote against it. It will make them come up with more word salads about how corporate profits are more important than people's lives, and more lies about how Trump had a mandate. It will put them on the record as being against their own constituents, and they'll have to run on it next year. They're too scared now to face the voters, can you imagine after they vote against this? This needs to be introduced, if for no other reason, I want to see them squirm under a barrage of yelling, screaming voters.

Yeah, right. Don't think another proposal that is ignored and has no chance of passing helps Democrats beat GOPers. Silent Type Apr 29 #7
Right. Dems should only propose things Rs will vote for. That's the best way for Dems to win elections. Nanjeanne Apr 29 #10
Yeah, we'll be sitting here 20 years from now griping about people being uninsured because we held out for righteousness Silent Type Apr 29 #11
