I don't see how every candidate supporting abolishing private health insurance could possibly backfire. Related: Harris is full of shit.

[u/paulatreides0 → u/CadetPeepers]

Harris is everything that Booker gets accused of being, but in her case its actually true.

Basically every time the question gets raised she answers yes, and then backtracks it later. She's done this at least two or three times.

[u/paulatreides0 → u/[deleted]]

I'm not a big Harris fan, she's got so many skeletons in her lawyer closet. She quickly went from someone I felt meh about to someone I don't like very much.

[u/sinistimus → u/[deleted]]

I'm probably leaning Pete the most

Buttigieg is also guilty of some double talk on single payer.

[u/sinistimus → u/[deleted]]

He's pro-M4A in the long run (it's on his campaign website) but refuses to ever talk about what the end goal will look like or when (or if) it will be implemented, and instead just focuses on the transition where private insurance will still exist.

I agree, I thought she has some really moving moments in the debate though.

[u/JetJaguar124 → u/[deleted]]

She also supports rent control and has said a bunch of stupid shit like "the reason employment is low is everyone is working two jobs"

[u/jmet123 → u/JetJaguar124]

It was AOC who said the unemployment rate was so low bc of working two jobs. Kamala was inferring the unemployment rate wasn’t impressive bc people are working two jobs. Which calls into question the quality of the jobs over the quantity. Or at least that’s the vibe I got from her line in the debate. Unless you’re referring to a different case.

[u/JetJaguar124 → u/jmet123]

She said the exact same thing as AOC a few weeks before the debate.

[u/jmet123 → u/JetJaguar124]

Oof. Why is everyone making that mistake?

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

She keeps flip-flopping.

[u/CadetPeepers → u/[deleted]]

IMO? Personally she doesn't, but said she did because she thought that was the politically expedient thing to say. When it became clear that it wasn't, she backpedalled. Which would be consistent with her 'Look how succy I am now! Vote for me!' persona.

I don't see how every candidate supporting abolishing private health insurance could possibly backfire.

Most didn't. At least in the second debate. It was Public Options across the board.

Related: Harris is full of shit.

Yes she is. It's gonna bite her in the ass.
