Someone (someones?) I have on ignore is getting the fukk clowned out of them in this thread. :lolbron:


Do you really believe they do not know the difference? You are choosing to believe the "economic anxiety" people. I would not do that.
72% of Republicans know that ACA and Obamacare are the same thing. The rest are pretty much split 50/50 between "don't know" and "no, they are different".

Crazy, even more Democrats don't know that ACA and Obamacare are the same, mostly because voters under 30 (who I guess were too young for all the initial debates) poll worse on the question than anyone else.

But when it comes to "repealing Obamacare", an even larger number of people are confused.
When respondents were asked what would happen if Obamacare were repealed, even more people were stumped. Approximately 45 percent did not know that the A.C.A. would be repealed. Twelve percent of Americans said the A.C.A. would not be repealed, and 32 percent said they didn’t know.



And when they're asked whether they approve or not, rather than just what they know, their answer suddenly changes:
One thing that we separately tested - we ran an experiment where we asked half of people, do you approve or disapprove of the Affordable Care Act and Obamacare? A few things stand out. Mentioning Obamacare polarizes people in a way that the Affordable Care Act does not. So for instance, 80 percent of Republicans strongly disapprove of Obamacare. Only about 60 percent strongly disapprove of the Affordable Care Act.


And when it comes to the actual details, some of the Republican ignorance pokes out a bit more:

Some other interesting points that came out with that - I think Democrats and Republicans appear to be living in an alternate universe. So, for example, we posed a question - you know, if the Affordable Care Act were repealed and not replaced, would some people lose Medicaid? And there was a 30-point difference between Republicans and Democrats. That is, about 50 percent of Republicans said, yeah, some people would lose it, but something like 80 percent of Democrats said that people would lose it. So there's this big gap sort of in the facts that people are probably looking at or engaging with when they're thinking about these policy proposals.

So the majority of Republicans know that ACA means Obamacare now, but half of them don't have a clue what it actually does.

We almost elected Roy Moore, who got kicked off the Supreme Court of Alabama for putting the 10 commandments in the courthouse, as senator. We still don’t have a lottery for “religious” purposes.
The worst thing for Obamacare is being named after Obama. I am liberal but I feel like he let down Flint like Bush let down New Orleans. I don’t trust the government.

And the cities are liberal, outskirts and suburbs republican. Mobile where I’m from is the original city, the fukkers from north Alabama dealt with all that civil rights shyt. All we do is drink eat and go to Mardi Gras where I’m from. We might as well be New Orleans east

Edit- i can remember in the 90s when Charles Barkley was thinking about running for governor as a GOP. Google this stupid bytch named Arthur Davis. George Wallace, who ran on a platform of segregation and kept the university of Alabama segregated, got shot and asked black peoples to forgive his racial tirades and vote for him.

And they did. Anything is possible in bama is you got enough moonshine and know how to play golf.

Healthcare is a RIGHT.
this is such a bullshyt talking point

look at all that's involved with healthcare. all the money it takes, and the fact that it needs people working who have gone to school for it. nothing about healthcare is a "right" :mjlol:

freedom is a right. free speech and freedom to practice any religion are rights. owning a gun is a right. due process without bias is a right. rights are not something that require anything from another human being, epsecially something as complicated as healthcare

i agree that the government SHOULD do more to provide healthcare for its citizens only, but that's where it stops

Shut your Republican ass up. :russ:

Due process without bias is something you only ask of other human beings.

And if freedom is a right there should be no due process at all because i should not be allowed to be locked up.

You could quote the rest.:ohhh:

it's not like we can argue this out with facts :yeshrug: you have your opinion and i have mine

for the record, when we pass medicare for all, can hospitals be allowed to tell people who are here illegally to go fukk themselves? or does america just become the world's hospital after the cost is passed to the taxpayer?
