I can see not voting for Vietnam but voting for Korea, but not the other way around. How does that work, if you don't mind me asking?

Not if you oppose people being forced to pump up private insurers' profits or taxing union health plans.

Not if you oppose people being forced to pump up private insurers' profits or taxing union health plans.
Between having something and having nothing, I think that the choice is obvious, isn't it?

TNF, you're a senator, you have always accepted compromises to your piece of legislation (example: your estate tax). Why are you such a true leftist irl, you know it's impossible to have all you want in politics.

Obama could have gotten single-payer if he wanted it. He didn't want it. He wanted to push through Romneycare, which is what we all have to live with, and which is useless if not counterproductive in that it's throwing people off their insurance plans left and right, making union members who  have fought hard on the picket lines pay a tax on that insurance, and then forcing everyone to pump up insurance industry profits by requiring everyone to buy for profit insurance.

I believe in compromise, but what Obama rammed down our throats is not compromise. It is a full blown giveaway to corporate America which no self-respecting progressive should support.

The only reason I would vote 'no' on the 1986 and 2013 immigration 'reform' proposals has more to do with the fact that they both still attempt to control the flow of immigrants into the country and partially criminalize certain kinds of migration to the United States. Unconditional amnesty is the only way forward, and it has to go hand in hand with an open borders policy.
