jellybean24.bsky.social @jellybean24.bsky.social · 06/09/2026I'm not sure this was a lie rather than an unintended consequence. Before the ACA, you could keep your insurance as long as they didn't dump you. The ACA didn’t make any changes to that and some people got dumped. The insurance industry liked the reinsurance on ACA plans, less uncertainty. 020

jellybean24.bsky.social @jellybean24.bsky.social · 26/08/2026When I got my first real job at 15, my Republican aunt told me that I'd "never see a dime of that money again" because SS was about to run out of money. That was 52 years ago, I've just reached full retirement age and, surprisingly, SS is still around! You can’t believe anything Republicans say. 140

jellybean24.bsky.social @jellybean24.bsky.social · 18/08/2026It seems to me that the "libs" prefer candidates who write legislation and the DSA folks prefer candidates who write (often quite inaccurate) slogans; substance vs. show. 121

jellybean24.bsky.social @jellybean24.bsky.social · 09/08/2026Yes, that's what the GOP does. It night help though, if people who aren't really socialists would stop calling themselves socialists because they think it sounds cool. If they could just read a little bit of history, please? 010

jellybean24.bsky.social @jellybean24.bsky.social · 03/08/2026However, I'm sure that your hypothetical DSA majority would pass far more legislation than any real legislators could even imagine. Heck, they'll be sure to pass legislation for ideas that haven’t even been thought of yet! 100

jellybean24.bsky.social @jellybean24.bsky.social · 03/08/2026The ACA as written provided universal healthcare for legal residents (most European countries exclude undocumented too).
