Politics Thread For Arguments About Decency, Not Rights

[harsh.ag]

Don't know if there is gonna be demand for this, but I could certainly use this thread.

How indecent was it to mislead the public about ObamaCare for so many years, claiming they had substitutes for it which wouldn't result in less coverage, while they had none such substitutes?

 

[indiaholic]

Very indecent.

 

[indiaholic]

Again this is extremely indecent but if minor cosmetic changes were made to the ACA and branded it as TrumpCare, people wouldn't care because substantial portions of the population don't know that the ACA and ObamaCare are the same thing.

 

[harsh.ag]

Yeah. Lots of people were for ACA and against ObamaCare

 

[Ausage]

From the same camp as the "bomb Agrabah" brigade.

 

[indiaholic]

Agrabah has a genie. Good luck bombing that, America.

 

[Uppercut]

Don't think it makes it into the top 100 indecent Republican actions. Voters have the choice about whether to believe them, and the choice to kick them out if they're dissatisfied with the alternative they come up with.

The real nasty stuff is the tampering with democracy. Gerrymandering, pretending voting fraud is a major issue so they can prevent minorities from voting. It should be THE issue in American politics, or at least should have been pre-Trump. It really sets them apart from European right-wing parties, who would certainly tell fibs on the Obamacare level, but don't totally undermine representative institutions in order to keep power.
