Come on. It's obviously just for laughs. Elizebeth Warren is not buying 25 year old jiggalos to dominate them in BDSM sex.

It is, I'm making the obvious joke that she's repulsive.
It would be funny as hell though.

All Democrats Drop Out Of Presidential Race Since The World Is Ending From Climate Change And There's No Point
U.S.—The recent U.N. conference on climate change and especially the words of 16-year-old activist Greta Thunberg have had a profound impact on the Democratic presidential candidates, so much so that they are now turning words into action and dropping out of the presidential race since they now think there’s no point to it.
“We’re all going to die, so why am I wasting my time on this?!” cried Cory Booker as he collapsed to his knees. “There’s nothing we can do!”
“Why am I fighting for abortion on demand at 39 weeks when we’re all going to die anyway?!” screamed Elizabeth Warren. “It’s all pointless! All my plans are pointless!”
“Here I was worrying about billionaires when it’s the sun that’s my enemy!” yelled Bernie Sanders as he shook his fist at the sun. “I should have taxed the sun!”
The only Democrat not dropping out is Joe Biden, who seemed to not quite understand what’s going on, only remarking, “Yep. Climate stuff is pretty bad,” before going into a long story about his rival Corn Pop.
President Trump also seemed unfazed by it all. “So the planet is warming a bit. Who cares?”

https://www.foxbusiness.com/politics/ta ... re-for-allMeanwhile, analysts are crunching the numbers on Medicare-for-all. The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget found that "financing a $30 trillion program would require the equivalent of tripling payroll taxes or more than doubling all other taxes."
https://fee.org/articles/the-medicare-f ... -knows-it/
We're seriously headed off a fiscal cliff....low estimate is 30T over 10 years....more than 10 years of federal taxes....They're talking payroll tax increases, income tax increase, VAT....everything....if you make 100-250K, you're essentially going to be a slave.
Laugh all you want, but there is a very good possibility that she (or some other collectivist hack) gets elected with a far left Congress.
I would quit working if my taxes tripled.

Eh..
If Medicare For All were implemented as the sole insurer, with private insurance being more supplemental services, then it likely would be cheaper than what we all pay for health care now. Sure, it would be a big budget item, but that budget would come from your payroll taxes, and your additional payroll taxes would likely be much less than what you currently pay for shitty private insurance.
The ZOMG Medicare for all will bankrupt us!! canard doesn't really track well. Most people realize it's a matter of shuffling how we pay for insurance, not add a bunch of shit to what we already have to pay for.
That's not to say there aren't other legit criticisms. Pretty sure death panels are going to be a major problem if the government controls what medical services you are allowed to get. That's a much better tactic to oppose the idea than the costs.
The obvious retort from the left is that profit in the context of a health care finance was always a really, really bad idea, since profit in that context means people are not getting health care they otherwise would want or need. It's death panels by other means, and being poor means you are most likely to be forced to die.
Thus, if you really wanted to oppose MFA, you'd want to acknowledge this fact and counter with the counterfactual that most single payer systems result in death panels of some kind, and therefore it might be worthwhile to just loosen up the regulations so that we could somehow establish national not-for-profit health care co-ops, etc.

Re: MHF Democrat Primary Poll
S’plain yourself - we currently pay $30 trillion in insurance premiums?
How is the middle class not being asked to heavily subsidize the entire fucking world (open borders remember)?
