First of all, the ACA limits out of pocket expenses. It is still quite high for a lot of people but nothing the GOP has suggested indicates they would include a limit. And more importantly, high deductible plans have been the cornerstone of Republican thinking on healthcare for the last 2 decades. They think it will make people shop around for the best deal, ignoring every economist who can tell you that the healthcare economy does not follow the same rules as the rest of the economy. | false | medium | 976 |

dd7xw3d | t1_dd7trwk | t3_5rjbup | hillaryclinton | marinesol | that's a failure on the aggressiveness of democrats in the DNC and their management teams. The one thing I have learned about being a democrat in a hard red state is that you have to be aggressive and always on the attack. Not bringing in Obama, Blue dogs staying out of the spotlight, and blue dogs not pushing a hard " Im socially conservative, and ill fight hard to protect your rights in congress.
As someone from the deep south a lot of east and west coast dems don't understand what motivates southerners and mid westerners to vote for you, so they keep pushing hard on stuff that works in California but not in Missouri.
In the west coast and east coast liberals are motivated by liberal economics and the safety net. Southerners and Midwesterners care about social conservatism. If you want to win in Kansas you have to go socially conservative as a Democrat to win. Look at my home state of Louisiana in 2016 this state voted redder than Texas. But our Governor John Bel Edwards won the governorship by nearly 10% in an off year. Its not just that the republicans fielded a poor choice. Its that Edwards constantly pushed both his social conservatism and his economic liberalism. He made center right Republicans vote for him because they felt comfortable he would represent their social values. And Louisiana is now one of the few red states with the medicaid expansion.
Now look at Kansas they have one of the most disapproved governors in history, and the dems there couldnt get him out of office if their lives depended on it. They don't push the ideals of the people who live in the suburbs and rural. So all those republican moderates don't feel the slightest bit comfortable and they reflexively vote republican.
Now look back at Lousisiana during the 2016 election we had a runoff in the senate. Even though he was the only democrat still having an election; barely a dime went to supporting his runoff campaign. He couldn't get a chance to present himself as someone who could keep moderate republicans represented, and push for economic support in the government. So he lost by a huge amount because the DNC didn't give him the resources to be aggressive in representing himself. They tossed a possible senate seat down the drain, even though the dems in Louisiana had literally just won the governorship by double digits in an off year the year before. | false | low | 983 |

Having said that, Jonathan Chait made a decent case for doing it (basically, they're going to do it eventually, so you might as well make the Republicans responsible for it). I'm not sure I totally agree, but it's atleast a pragmatic case

Hes also doing tremendous harm to Ellisons campaign but hes so full of himself that he doesnt even see it...
According to the AP Perez has a 66 vote lead atm with around 140 undecided.
I hope Obama endorses Perez in the next week! | false | medium | 1,049 |

dd7trae | t1_dd7jda0 | t3_5ri7ep | hillaryclinton | wi_voter | Well, not "old". He's still stomping all over us. That's why you never hand over the keys to all three branches of government to the GOP but somehow Dems in WI forgot that lesson in Nov. | false | medium | 1,052 |
dd7tr08 | t1_dd7ofe6 | t3_5ri8cx | hillaryclinton | 585AM | I am in my late-thirties. I know that a lot of younger voters foreign policy worldview was shaped by Iraq, but mine was shaped by Rwanda and Yugoslavia. I've seen the failure of intervention and the fact that every intervention does not need to lead to a full scale occupation.
The pro-Assad wing of the Democratic Party really frustrates me. | false | medium | 1,053 |

dd7ti7f | t1_dd7rerz | t3_5rjbup | hillaryclinton | LysanderSporker | Not fighting Gorsuch is the right move.
Gorsuch is going to get confirmed regardless. The filibuster will be abolished the instant the Democrats use it on a Supreme Court nominee.
It's not ideal, it's not what should have happened, but the situation we're faced with right now regardless is that Gorsuch will restore the court to the balance before Scalia's death. We're no worse off than we were before.
Meanwhile, Breyer's 78, Kennedy's 80, and Ginsburg's 83. When one of their seats comes up, whoever Orange Hitler picks will actually change the balance of the court for the worse. Those battles may not be any more winnable than Gorsuch, but at least those are hills worth dying on.
Right now we have a pick who will keep things as they are. At some point in the future, we very likely will face a pick who will make things worse. Given that Senate Democrats will only be able to put up a meaningful fight against one or the other but not both, they definitely should save what is at this point a one-time-use weapon for when the stakes are higher. | false | medium | 1,057 |

dd7tgdn | t1_dd7rerz | t3_5rjbup | hillaryclinton | 2rio2 | I don't agree. The GOP didn't go all out war until they won back the House in 2010. You pick your battles when your party has failed to secure the House, the Senate, AND the Presidency. There are plenty of winnable wins in front of us. This is not one, especially since this nominee is literally as good as we're going to get. Qualified, right leaning, but not a straight nutcase. | false | medium | 1,059 |
