Yeah, the GOP uses the word “socialist” rather loosely these days. It’s pretty meaningless the way the GOP uses it.
As far as the “defund” phrase, I do think the Democrats hurt themselves with that one. While what they were proposing wasn’t anything nearly that sinister, using the phrase “defund” to describe it was a bad move.
As long as giving free healthcare to illegals is stuffed in the bill, there will be no passing it or flipping the senate,… They should also probably take out not having to have a voter identification to vote, I still haven’t worked out how that will help against COVID-19.
SO now you think Dem Donor Puppets are someone we should listen too? The ones crying about it in the DNC are as right wing as most many actual GOP and about as dumb.
Having illegals not get on healthcare costs us more than if they had it. We are always going to have a segment of population working illegally to keep our fruits and veggies cheap. And NYC upper class restaurants need workers in kitchen. Emergency room visits are 100x more costly then preventative measures. Or is it not about economics to some why they don’t want the brown people on healthcare?
High end New York City restaurants need cooks at least half of those restaurants are gone forever after COVID-19. We’re not asking for the fourth reich just to follow the laws of the land.
