When people bitch and whine about student loan forgiveness, because “they paid their own way to college,” it’s helpful to remind yourself that they didn’t pay for it for the rest of their lives.

The company had essentially spelled out Sanders’s counterargument for him
Vox:
The company had essentially spelled out Sanders’s counterargument for him. As employers use health care costs as a negotiation tactic, this kind of thing is bound to happen more. And for Sanders, it’s the perfect case for doing away with the current system.
“Under Medicare-for-all, whether you’re working, whether you’re not working, whether you go from one job to another job, it’s right there with you,” Sanders said at the event.

Cold War chauvinism and fear-mongering
Unless we acknowledge that prominent liberals have embraced dangerous, hysterical Cold War chauvinism and fear-mongering to deal with Trump’s victory, we will never face the truth that Trump won by exploiting a failed neoliberal legacy, and will win again unless this delusion ceases.

Can you believe voting machine corporations…
Can you believe voting machine corporations are still in court trying to gag us from making any public statements about our upcoming examination of voting machine software? How can we trust our elections if the privately-owned software that counts votes is shielded from scrutiny?
The absurd criticism of Gabbard’s exposure of Harris’s record
The absurd criticism of Gabbard’s exposure of Harris’s record as a right-wing, anti-Black prosecutor as being the work of Russia is another example that the greatest threat to democracy in the U.S. is emanating from MSNBC, CNN, democrat party and their silicon valley friends.
There can be no gradualist answer…
There can be no gradualist, ecomodernist answer to the dire ecological problems we face, because when looking at the human effect on the planet there is nothing gradual about it.
Russiagate hysteria is ramping up, all over again…
Given that the Russiagate hysteria is ramping up, all over again… let’s refresh our recollections, shall we?
Cuba: Russian ally. Has been forever. Obama administration: attempts to ease sanctions. Immediately reversed when that Putin-controlled orange clown takes office – because that’s exactly what Putin really wants, you guys.
Syria: Russian ally. Trump ratchets up our undeclared war in Syria making literally everything worse for absolutely everyone, including Russia, who risk getting pulled into another ground war they don’t want in the Middle East. Because Vladimir Putin is the super-secret puppetmaster pulling the strings.
Venezuela: Russian ally. So, of course, Putin instructs his cheeto-dusted operative in the White House to foment a coup in the interests of American oil companies. Because that’s how this secret puppetmaster shit works.
Iran: Russian ally. So, by all means, that must mean Vlad wanted the Iranian nuclear deal scrapped – because, again, what Russia really wants is a highly motivated Islamic theocracy starting a nuclear war.
If your theory is that Vladimir Putin is secretly running Donald Trump as a Russian state asset, at some point you’re going to have to admit he’s doing a terrible fucking job of it.
Remember: when the US government admits to tampering with elections: Freedom! ‘Merica! Nobody can actually provide any actual evidence that Russian trolls did anything other than buy some Facebook ads and post some anti-Hillary tweets? OUR ELECTIONS HAVE BEEN HAX0RED!!1!

In an effort to spotlight the corporate greed…
In an effort to “spotlight the corporate greed that has taken over the American healthcare system” and driven up the costs of life-saving drugs, Sen. Bernie Sanders announced Thursday that he plans to travel to Canada later this month with a caravan of diabetics looking to purchase affordable insulin.
“Insulin costs over $300 [per vial] in the U.S.,” tweeted Sanders, a 2020 Democratic presidential candidate. “In Canada, the same exact drug costs about $30. We can’t wait for drug companies to lower prices. Americans need relief now!”
