Hillaryious.
Not feeling so disappointed I canât get TBS now.
yes, itâs hilarious how samantha can smuggly vote for a war monger who is owned by the banks and laugh at people who actually vote in their own interest.
And those werenât even the funniest parts!
I didnât even know Bee had a show. I recently started watching Oliverâs show and Iâm going to add this to my DVR as well.
Itâs really good. Itâs all on youtube as well if you want to catch up on it. Sheâs way better than every other âpolitical comedyâ host IMO.
Her criticism about safe senators still being obstructionist jagoffs is spot-onâŚthough itâd be just as true in Hillaryâs America as in Bernieâs, I think.
This is part of why 2018 and on is a key part of this - hopey changey stuff isnât an overnight thing, and while Bernie is an important figure in this, he canât be the only or the last. (The fact that Elizabeth Warren was mentioned is a good sign that heâs not!)
If not more soâthe GOP has spent the last couple of decades painting Clinton as the Beast Incarnate; if anything sheâd get worse treatment than Obama.
Are there others beside Samantha Bee and John Oliver?
The Sanders / GOP diagram would pretty much be two disjoint sets, right? Does that mean nothing would get done? If so, then is a vote for Sanders just a vote for the status quo?
Well, I agree with the Venn diagramâs common policy positions. However, I donât buy that Republican reps and senators would necessarily support these issues if Hillary is president. I think theyâd be just as obstructionist with her as they would be with Bernie and as they have been with Barack.
Youâre probably right. They did actively oppose their own healthcare system mandating private insurance for everyone, after all.
Unless, and this is key, we change over Congress as well, which canât be that difficult when Congresspeople and a third of the Senate are up every two years.
Well, look how much of a struggle it was getting âObamacareâ passed when it essentially a rehash of a Republican concept. Some Republicans still oppose it even though it was a coup for the stockholders of privatized insurance.
I want Bernie and universal healthcare, but Iâm not buying my Republican neighborâs argument that I should vote for Hillary rather than Bernie because the Republicans in Congress will suddenly have an epiphany and support Hillary. I mean these are the people whoâve hated her since Bill was first sworn into office.
I canât imagine that any Republican who votes for Clinton proposed legislation is going to do very well in their next primary.
That was actually pretty gentle.
Sheâs wrong. The difference is Bernie Sanders is working alongside a massive, energized base of grassroots supporters thatâs composed of a massive amount of Independent voters who can and will unseat obstructionist Republicans AND bluedog Democrats. These are the same Independent voters that are pretty pissed that they are being disenfranchised against voting in the primary against Clinton. Independents will be coming out with a vengeance in the general election for Bernie and afterwards.
Thatâs been the widely accepted plan since our massive, nationwide, livestreamed meeting back in summer of 2015 with over 100,000 supporters at hundreds of locations across the country.
Also, her smarmy joke that thereâs no plan to break up the banks is parroting corporate media bullshit. Bernie has laid out a plan for that if one bothers to look.
I find the timing of bashing Bernie and his supporters with misleading pretenses that his policies are fantastical the night before the New York primary very suspect as well.
Perhaps instead of a unicorn pecking on Samanthaâs arm, it should have been a little pig that represents the monied interests that funds her paycheck?
As soon as I saw this segment, I knew it would be posted to Boing Boing and it would be Jason who posted it.
Youâre becoming rather predictable, @jlw .
I want Bernie and universal healthcare
The problem is, even if you get the first, the odds of getting the second are still pretty long.
In that video, Bee asks what they want Sanders to achieve on his first day in office. The guy answered:
- raise the minimum wage
- implement universal healthcare
- end citizens united
Really? You think those are things he could accomplish on day one? Optimism is great, but you canât lose track of how things actually happen.
Welcome back to the BBS!
