    His message is for those who would rather suffer than have “those” people get help.

    I hate to break it to everyone but she does not currently support single payer nor will her presidency push for it. (At least, that’s the message they’re putting out right now.)

    Never forget that everything Trump says is a lie, even if it’s one you want to believe.

    That said, I think it would be easier to drag her into it than Biden.

    It’s great when a quote is taken out of context, and then you look at the context, and it’s even worse.

    “She cosponsored legislation to abolish very popular private health insurance, which 150 [million] Americans rely on, dumping everyone onto inferior socialist government run health care systems with rationing and deadly wait times, while massively raising your taxes. She wants to take away your private health care.”

    As if 150M Americans have a real choice in private insurance, or that the bureaucracy of the system doesn’t already result in rationing and deadly wait times.

    As a side note, Project 2025 does something similar with cars. Something to the effect of “Americans overwhelmingly prefer cars” to justify ignoring bikes or public transit projects, again as if there was a real choice being offered.

      I just don’t think grandma should be in front of an Obama Death Panel.

      The Death Panel should be guys trying to sacrifice her to the line, someone with zero knowledge of her care typing “no” in a spreadsheet, or, fuck it, let’s get an AI with a 90% error rate (always errs towards denial). Those are the right arbiters to decide the value of someone’s life.
