I've sat down and studied the twentieth century. I lived through a good chunk of it. Socialism is the most brutal, dehumanizing system ever imagined. ...

Funny how facts have been replaced by insults in my last couple of mentions. You like Stalin, Mao, and Castro? Good for you. "Oh but that wasn't REAL ...

Perhaps I just lived through the disastrous Obamacare rollout and watched over the next few years as everyone's premiums went through the roof. Perhap...

Only way Biden will get anyone under the age of 60 to vote for him.

Oh no, not at all. I make no claims of truth for math. Only logical coherence and interestingness, those are the criteria by which mathematicians judg...

I appreciate your and everyone else's passion on this topic. Medicare for All is dead as a campaign issue. Biden is on record as opposing it and wanti...

This has nothing to do with the well-known fact that it is an open question as to whether white has a forced win with perfect play on both sides. You ...

It is pure fantasy to believe that the access and quality Americans enjoy today would hold if private insurance were abolished. https://www.nytimes.co...

You could look it up. https://news.gallup.com/poll/245195/americans-rate-healthcare-quite-positively.aspx https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019...

Why do you think Hillary specifically declined to endorse cognitively impaired Joe a few days ago? She knows the Dems will be looking for an actual ca...

Yes, that is exactly the case. Straight Medicare would be very unpopular. It doesn't pay enough benefits and it offers no flexibility. It's the privat...

I couldn't find what this is referring to.

Every single one of the Dem candidates is on record as wanting to give free health care to anyone who shows up from anywhere in the world. You think y...

Likely? No. Possible? Most definitely. Biden's not going to make it. They can't hide his cognitive decline much longer. They have to either replace hi...

That's not true. There are games for which one side or the other has a winning strategy. If you have such a demonstration it's publishable as the solu...

But of course. You are entirely free to do that. The only problem is that your system wouldn't work very well and wouldn't have the usual properties w...

I take that as a Yes. After all you'd pay way more than $3k if you had to pay for health insurance for all the third world peasants who desired to com...

Are you happy with your health insurance? Yes or no, be honest.

Most people have jobs that include health insurance. They get medical plus dental and optometry services. They're happy as clams and never think twice...

Disguised as a fart? All your utterances are thinly disguised farts. Here's another Gallup poll to the contrary. You got a poll, I got a poll. https:/...

Like when the smart people said Trump could never win. You lack imagination. And an underappreciation of Hillary's all-consuming ambition.

The DNC just changed the upcoming debate format to a town hall with the public asking questions and Biden and Bernie being seated. The fix is in to hi...

If you want to know why Trump is so popular, note how out of touch most leftists are about what's going on in this country. And so utterly dismissive ...

The notion that Hillary will be selected by a brokered convention is OPINION. So even though you are trying (and failing) to say something snarky and ...

Most Americans are perfectly happy with their health care. Now this is where you say, "Do you have any evidence to back that up?" and I post a half do...

Numbers aren't lengths. That's exactly the distinction between math and physics. In math, 2 = 2 and 2 isn't 3. In physics, our measurement the length ...

I don't actually defend the US system of health care. The corporate medical practices, the pill industrial complex, the waste and the bureaucracy. But...

I'm only responding because your remark is so disingenuous as to make me wonder why you bothered. Someone asked me for references to support an opinio...

You joking? It's perfectly well known. Do your own research. No Democrats are even bothering to defend Obamacare anymore. ps ok I did a quick search. ...

You can enter "Hillary presidential speculation" into Google and get dozens more similar links. Have you not noticed that she's all over the airwaves ...

I'm a big fan of Chomsky. Many of his positions I disagree with. On foreign policy I'm a Chomskyite all the way. And when it comes to knocking the New...

Completely false. I'm a lifelong social liberal and registered Democrat (still am, voted for Tulsi in California) who is utterly appalled at what's be...

Yes that is part of my point. Forget the right and wrong or comparisons with other countries. There's a pure competence argument to be made. The rollo...

My point exactly. But I'm a poor proxy for the DNC. I'm a disinterested spectator of the ongoing Democratic train wreck. Thus my remark. Why vent your...

A deeply disingenuous point, which you'd understand if you knew the first thing about Medicare. Medicare is a public/private partnership. Private insu...

It's a definite possibility. And I'm not the only one who thinks that. Plenty of political commentators have made the same point.

Bernie just got the endorsement of Jesse Jackson. Will help cut into Biden's popularity among African-Americans. Will be a bitter, divided convention....

I'm politicked out for the moment. Health care policy is very wonky, I only get into it to a certain level. In general I favor liberty and individual ...

Two wolves and a sheep deciding what to have for dinner. I prefer liberty. The left has a tremendous authoritarian streak. See Mao, Stalin, Castro, et...

There are a lot of good mathematical reasons why this is true. One way is to write down the integers on the top row of a table, and directly underneat...

Jung's collective unconscious?

People "such as me" would include a big majority of the Democratic primary voters, who resoundingly pushed back on Bernie. Take it up with them, not w...

Agreed, I'm politicked out. The DNC just changed their rules to ban Tulsi from the debate. Can you imagine her appearing alongside those two fossilize...

Likewise.

You replied to me the same way twice in a row but never tried to make a point. What is your point?

I get that you disagree with me. I don't want the US government running my health care. They can run yours if you like. How is that? Isn't that Mayor ...

"Nobody wants to hear about emails." He lost the nomination that night. He should have hit her hard on her corruption and incompetence handling classi...

I don't believe I wrote the words quoted. But as I say I voted for Tulsi as a symbolic vote against the war machine. I would not call myself a pacifis...

I've noted several times that I perused his latest plan on his website and consulted several sources who analyzed the probable costs, the spending ram...

Ok just help me out here on this "Joe's a good person" bit, or that he represents a "return to normalcy" etc. He's a tool of the banking industry, hel...
