I'm sorry the question is how would you not bankrupt the question?

What matters is how much the individual is paying. Your statistic means nothing when what ultimately matters is how much an individual will have to pay. Of course we're going to spend more via federal government because that government's medicare will be the single payer system.

We're talking about drastically increasing Federal spending and needing congress to pass budgets to fund these things.

That's a key aspect and selling that to the American people is important, which is why M4A starts falling in popularity when you actually start getting into the details of how it will function.

Honestly, Steyer seems like a good guy. Like Yang, I hope there's a place for them in some Democratic administration or in elected office somewhere.

CNN: "Bernie, how will your ideas irrevocably bankrupt and destroy the country?"

That questioning and follow up question is absolute garbage yes. Using right-wing debating points pretending it's logical is gargabe, yes. Pretending healthcare is not so fucking disastrous is garbage yes.
Asking how much a plan costs is not either of those. How much of a burden a plan will place on voter matters. Everyone who isnt a factional voter would want to know this.

You are trying to co opt feminist language to cover for someone being called out for refusing to give context for something because it's a useful smear for her campaign. It's pathetic.
lolno

Do you think anyone's having a standout positive performance? I don't, at least so far. It seems like a solid C- performance from everyone, save for CNN, which gets a failing grade. Honestly, the only things that are memorable to me so far are the Bernie/Warren "fight" and Steyer's climate change response.
Yeah, Warren's having a good night. I dearly wish Klob, Steyer & Pete were not on that stage.

nah, CNN is outright gunning for Bernie. it's obvious.
It's not.

I disagree with Bernie on trade but Bernie is right on Healthcare.

Medicare for All is the only way

Warren's answer was washy

Biden is lazy, just coast on Obamacare

Klobb says nothing

Mayo Pete avoids the question

I will say that these questions are being unkind to Bernie but for a weirdly long time their website "updates" for the debate were only quoting things Bernie and Biden were saying.

I always wonder how anyone's plan is cheaper than Sanders'. What's he want to provide that the others want to cut?
Typically it's about either cost sharing methods (co-pays, that kind of thing), changes in services provided (Sanders' plan is super generous by government insurance standards), or just different costing estimates.

CNN: Bernie, why do you hate America?
Bernie: I don't, I love America and want to make it a better place for everyone.
CNN: VP Biden, why do you think Bernie hates America so much?

User Banned (2 Weeks): Inflammatory and hostile behavior.
I genuinely don't have any idea what you mean when you suggest that Mercury Fred is "allowing" bad questions, it's baffling and nonsensical

Quit playing Plato.

You know I mean that he is pretending that the unfair questions towards Bernie are invisible just so he can continue shitting on Bernie. Quit playing Plato. You're not a great philospher. You are just triggering my mental state so hard I'm reducing to self harm again. Quit having fun and stop pretending to be dumber than youare.
