- SFEK 's a lot of stuff we need that we don't get because the side against it is more motivated to call their Congressman -- nm - con_carne Oct 29, 11:10
Yes we do. It's what I wanted from the start but the Dems never had the balls to really consider it. - Krusty Oct 29, 11:09
Probably. This system could work. It just wasn't very well thought out or implemented so far. -- nm - Inigo Oct 29, 11:06
Absolutely, but we won't see that in my lifetime. 2010 was our hope to pass it and the Dems pussed out. -- nm - ty97 Oct 29, 11:05 8
- considering what they were up against, I'm surpised they got anything passed, so I'll take it. -- nm - znufrii Oct 29, 11:07 7
  - They are up against a filibuster-proof majority. What a terrible obstacle. - ty97 Oct 29, 11:08 6
    - if only all the Dems agreed on which path was preferable, sure - znufrii Oct 29, 11:15 1

    - Well, they were up against the insurance industry and their constituents, too. -- nm - mara Oct 29, 11:11
    - Seriously. They lack the balls to go for the big programs these days. -- nm - Krusty Oct 29, 11:10 2
      - you have to have consensus first, and with the Blue Dogs still a formidable force in the caucus at the time, that wasn't happening. -- nm - znufrii Oct 29, 11:19 1
        
        You're right and they did get some big things passed along the way. -- nm - Krusty Oct 29, 11:23
Word. -- nm - znufrii Oct 29, 11:04
