Democratic Debates

Finally decided to watch one... oh my.

The entire argument regarding the public option vs. medicare for all vs whatever the hell Kamela's plan is... it is all bunk. The public option either has to be run at 0 profit or for profit or it will automatically kill every single private insurer. If a public option is allowed to run at a loss then market forces will kill all other insurance options. Their plans are all virtually identical, just one hides the reality and the other showcases it.

Also I dislike most of Yang's positions but the dude has a point they don't ever let him speak.

The debates aren't really meant to be a thoughtful forum for public policy discussion -- they're TV productions that favor sound bites, and whatever gets picked up by social media outlets.

I thought it was more interesting to have "the most Googled candidate".
