Castro, DeBlasio, Kamala, Booker and Tulsi are all about to get in Biden's ass :dame:

Too bad Gillibrand will be there too to waste everyone's time :beli:

Tulsi is John McCain in a wig with a pro Russia/pro authoritarian slant


:heh:

Disclaimer: I'm definitely not a heavyweight at all when it comes to the healthcare debate but keeping public and private options happens in countries like say UK right?

Yeah, but private insurance plays a much lesser role.

Is it possible for us to reduce private insurance roles without straight up eliminating it or is such a move not possible in today's America?

This is the crux of the debate. I tend to believe that if private insurance is allowed to stand, the healthcare system would eventually come to mirror the education system with heavily bifurcated quality streams. Imagine how much better the public school system would be if private/charter schools were outlawed. Capital would be constrained within the system instead of following the rich through the escape hatch of private schools/healthcare.

The healthcare systems of the UK, Canada, Scandinavia, and other Western European nations benefit from being formed in a time when public spending wasn't constantly under attack, and in countries with far more egalitarian leanings than modern America. Even now though, the NHS is under constant attack from the Tories :francis:

'This Man Can Beat Trump': Sanders Viewed Most Favorably of 2020 Democratic Candidates

New Gallup poll shows Sen. Bernie Sanders has better image than Joe Biden in eyes of Democratic voters

A new Gallup poll showed that Bernie Sanders is the most favorably viewed contender for the Democratic presidential ticket.

Gallup released the results of the poll on Friday. It was conducted July 1-12, after first round of Democratic debates, and measured 10 Democratic White House hopefuls.

Sanders led the pack, with 72 percent of Democrats and Democratic-leaning voters viewing him favorably.:jawalrus: Former Vice President Joe Biden followed at 69 percent. :pachaha:Rounding off the top half of the pack were Sen. Elizabeth Warren at 59 percent,:mjlol: Sen. Kamala Harris at 54 percent, and Sen. Cory Booker at 44 percent.:russ:

Journalist, activist, and Sanders supporter Shaun King pointed to the polling on Twitter:

Brand new poll shows what it has shown for 3 straight years - @berniesanders is the most liked elected official in the nation.

LISTEN TO ME. This man can beat Donald Trump. He knows it. I know it.

Now I need you to know it. pic.twitter.com/j84xbhGXmX

With the exception of Bill de Blasio, none of the 10 had unfavorable ratings above 19 percent. The New York City mayor's unfavorable rating was 30 percent, nearly the same as his favorable rating—31 percent.

The new poll also noted a downward trend for Biden.:camby:

In Gallup's April poll, Biden was viewed favorably by 80 percent of Democrats and Democratic-leading voters, and by April, the measurement dropped to 74 percent. The new poll's 69 percent rating reflects an 11-point drop over the three-month period.

Looking at more broadly at all U.S. adults' views, both Biden and Sanders were still slightly behind President Donald Trump. Gallup's July poll showed that 45 percent viewed the president favorably, compared to Biden's 42 percent and Sanders's 41 percent.

The new poll came less than two weeks before 20 Democratic candidates will face off in the second primary debates.

As with the first, the second will take place over two days—July 30 and 31.

Unlike the June debates, the upcoming ones will not feature Biden and Sanders squaring off, according to the lineups announced this week by CNN.

Debating on July 30 will be Montana Gov. Steve Bullock; South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg; former Rep. John Delaney; former Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper; Sen. Amy Klobuchar; former Rep. Beto O'Rourke; Rep. Tim Ryan; Sanders; Warren; and Marianne Williamson.

On July 31, Sen. Michael Bennet; Biden; Booker; former San Antonio, Texas Mayor Julian Castro; de Blasio; Rep. Tulsi Gabbard; Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand; Harris; Washington Gov. Jay Inslee; and Andrew Yang will debate.
