nice try. your intentions are pure, but sorry, he clearly IS. it's a very consistent and reliable theme: every time he's that mad, he tries to nitpick spelling, semantics, or choice of words - usually unsuccessfully, and also rather ironic considering his own struggles with his native language ("its" and "it's" he reliably gets wrong, "worth" and "worse" is a new one though).
british english spelling. google it. i use it all the time...
reminds me of that idiot who ran out of arguments and took issue with either "colour" or "honour", don't remember which one exactly - but damn were they mad when i taught them...
that said, i already told you that even if i gave you that all of your hackery was just light-hearted 'jokes', it still doesn't change the fact they ALL aim at the same direction. so it's really not all that important how you prefer to label them, the intention is very obvious. also, you're taking the typical american, completely unnuanced approach to politics, where you're either for or against a candidate. you know it's not illegal to give someone credit for policies, ideas, or suggestions - even if you generally disagree with, or even dislike a candidate, right?
ive shouted down right wingers who put forward voucher programs as a fix to the american education system plenty, this is the democratic debate thread not the GOP debate thread. and i already said yang was good, warren is decent, and the rest are a pack of all the same on education.
and ive said many times Bernie's end goal of a single payer system is fine by me, its the pace he gets there and his lies to the public on how realistic that pace is that i dont like.
but sure keep strawmanning to shill for bernie, that'll teach me.

Doctors work too hard. My friend pays over 2k a month on student loans and will forever lol. Even NPs I talk to have 200-300k debt lol. This current system is so broke.
If socialized medicine is so bad then why aren't there many French, German, British, swedish, etc doctors in the American system? Why are their outcomes better and costs lower? Why should Americans keep dying for Aetna, Anthem, and Humana?
see above. you guys use all the nuance of a coma patient on healthcare.

geeez. he was just 'joking'. completely ignore the underlying message behind the obvious joke, because you won't get a reply to that anyway, just a snarky response how you must have missed the 'joke' because you addressed the actual issue.
i reply honestly to skinned because he's an honest man, and when i use humor he's able to sense it and replies in kind. he's.....not you.
