Trump voter: "I just lost my healthcare!"
Me: "You won, get over it."

- I love when people compare United States to baby-sized countries. Germany might is closest to a full-size country with a population of 82 million or so...robotron3k
- I love when people just consider population and not being the largest economy on the planet when considering heatlhcare.fadein11
- Baby sized countries lolyuekit
- If it was a national priority it would happen. Exceptionalism.R_Kercz
- Half this country is aggressively "ME, ME, ME". Ironically, they are also the most religious. Maybe that's not ironic, just moronic.formed
- I was just thinking about that last night formed. The type that goes to church, throws a buck into the collection plate...kona
- then literally steps over one another while fighting and swearing their way out of the parking lot to be first.kona
- so lock medicare at percentage of gdp and offer it to all. boom universal care. it will fuckin suck but it's what everyone else has.deathboy
- that is what everyone wants right? or more like they only want to be worry free about genetics lotterys and personal reponsibilities, not the economics involveddeathboy
- after all what did vermont say on the economics?deathboy

Looks like Macron will be a shoo-in with Barracks support.
Remember his endorsement of Clinton and Bremain... that worked out well too.
- because people respect Barack Obama and his support is meaningfulmonospaced
- you're right, it probably won't help either much. And you forgot his support for for Cameron over brexit. The only chance Le Pen has is to take Mélenchon'sFax_Benson
- Mélenchon's voters, so I suppose an establishment centrist's support for Macron might persuade them. Sanders would have been a better pick.Fax_Benson
- Trump suggested he wanted Le Pen to win so let's see who has more respect and influence....we'll find out soon.yuekit
- Giving any US president credit for the vote is ridiculous, especially so for Trump.monospaced
- when you absolutely, positively, have nothing of an argument... post something against obama.kona

Seeing things like this I wonder what he actually knows of the plan he is pushing. Maybe his handlers have convinced him he is spearheading a plan that will cover everyone and bring great happiness and prosperity to the everyman?
- He doesn't give a fuck what's in it. Just that something with his name passes.BusterBoy

what an amazing liar
- Just so we're clear on her background, she's the daughter of that sack of shit Mike Huckabee.BusterBoy
- lol. she's serious too, trying so hard.sofakingback
- She is way out of her depth. Who is she? She's fucking useless lol.fadein11

- This is scary stuff. Trump's propaganda of "fake news" has set it up to be a mess for a long time to come.formed
- Don't be fooled or taken in by this - dump is of the most tedious nature, mixed with (bad) fakes. Nothing worth seeing. Apart from 'ooooh! Emails!'face_melter
- They aren't even trying to be subtle anymore. FN campaign officials were reportedly tweeting links to the documents.yuekit
- Plenty worth seeing. Direct hack of their campaigns emails. Question is how France will deal with that crime.IRNlun6
- Macron campaigning for the EU to flex its muscles, this will not end well for the hackers and possibly reporters.IRNlun6
- Let alone any potential damage from the leaks.IRNlun6
- Reuters is way to quick to speculate Russian involvement. It doesn't take a state actor to hack an email server.IRNlun6
- No absolute proof but...there's a very consistent pattern here with Russia running disinfo campaigns in other countries.yuekit
- Look at RT and other Russian media, 24-7 propaganda in favor of Le Pen just like with Trump.yuekit
- Russia would benefit greatly if the EU was destroyed. Electing Le Pen is the simplest way to achieve this.yuekit
- The irony is there is nothing really in these leaks based on what I am reading. All they can do is create appearance of a scandal and try to confuse voters.yuekit
- Russia is not nearly as powerful as its being made out to be. This constant hysteria works in their favor, and in this case, very much in Macron's favor.IRNlun6
- Russia looks more powerful than it really is, and Macro sits back while the world watches a very visible attack against his campaign.IRNlun6
- He's already set to win this. This hack will change how he begins his presidency.IRNlun6
- Then again, the EU is pushing for a military. Nothing could justify it more than a threat as big as Russia.IRNlun6
- Not powerful meaning what? It's well established that they run hacking campaigns and have large numbers of fake accounts trolling for them on Twitter etc.yuekit
- They may be in trouble as a country in many ways, but still have one of the world's largest and most sophisticated intelligence services.yuekit
- True, and if they where to hack anyone I'd imagine it would be high value targets like this. It just feels sloppy.IRNlun6
- Hacked emails, but also fake documents from offshore accounts? It's like a trap for leakers and a huge help for Macron and his platform.IRNlun6

Democrats and Liberal pundits are already celebrating that this healthcare plan will ensure they take back Congress.
Meanwhile, Republicans are like, "Oh you think so? Have you even met the idiots who vote in this country? We literally won the last election with a red hat and moronic slogan about the good ol' days."
- dems need to start putting forth real policies that benefit everyone, especially the voters they lost. this is a starting point but hard work is ahead.dorf
- ^ yes, they do need to do something. The loss should have woken them up, they need a united message.formed
- Indeed. While protests are essential and vital, a coherent, alternative, argument is better. Stageplays on Broadway or pink hats won't change anyone's mind.face_melter
- uphill battle. doesn't matter how many more voters they get in big city, dem strongholds.IRNlun6
- They need to connect with flyover country, working class middle America again. Not exactly a strong demographic for Dems.IRNlun6
- no it's the republicans that need to start writing policies that benefit people... they spent nearly a decade rejecting them from democrats alreadymonospaced
- Especially since they have that flyover demographic already, plus the White House, senate and congress. That they can't write shit is embarrassing.monospaced
- I'm not holding my breath for the GOP to do one single thing for America. I had a (little) hope Trump wouldn't such a push over and actually make a "great"formed
- healthcare plan, a la expanded Medicare, but my blind hope was short sighted. I am now confident they will do as much damage to the country while running debtformed
- up and up. Fuck American's as long we have super nukes to brag about.formed
