Yes I have and we've talked about this in previous threads and I've brought up why I think it's going to not work (the TLDR line being that Biden just keeps wanting to build on the sandy trash foundation of Obamacare rather than realizing it's trash and how no one will flock to it because it offers worse insurance than what people would get from their employers so it'll never get this magical power of negotiation from everyone flocking to it since no one will do that).
Ultimately though, you want my bottom line here Biden (I of course am assuming Joe Biden is constantly refreshing Current Events on The Escapist Dot Com to keep his pulse on The Will of The People)? I'm not happy about you being the choice. In fact, I am very unhappy with you being the choice. Had you won the Primaries fair and square instead of having The DNC ratfucking over every single candidate that actually embraced things I want, I'd be more inclined to bite the bullet and vote for you but what's done is done, you can't change the pass.
But you know what would help me be willing to swallow this shit-based medicine that you want me to so that we can cure the disease that is Trump? If every time you opened your mouth, you didn't completely shit all over my ideals and desires from a candidate.
Biden is solving the " worse insurance than employers" option this under his shifting to the gold plan, it is currently based on silver. He is also adding the public option to shift people over to public insurance. You call it trash, I HAVE AN OBAMACARE PLAN BTW. I have preexisting conditions so that is the best insurance I can afford as well, Without Obamacare, my insurance payment will be over $2000 a month. The ACA isn't a trash plan, it just needs to be fixed, and this is a great way to do so while laying the foundation we need to shift more to M4A, the SAME WAY this worked for Germany to do so.
Those of us with serious health conditions, we cannot survive even a brief period without Obamacare as we will actually die waiting for something better. Trump's current plan is for us to just die waiting. There are no other options once we lose our "Obamacare". I have no savings to fall back on, that was spent to save my parents farm. I exhausted that before I had to sell my home. I don't even have anything to show for doing that as well as that too was spent to save my parents farm that my own family built with their own hands, so I am in just of a bind as the rest of us here now. The farm is in my mother's name so I could not even use that to get a loan to try and survive, as that belongs to my Mom, not me.. We have no options for getting M4A passed with the current congress. AT best, we can hope Biden passes this, and then we are able to shift to that in the next decade, but the reality is I do not think progressives have flipped enough districts yet. You have to keep in mind that conservatives STILL hold the majority of districts. We have to flip those too in order to pass it. Including some of these districts with these people arming themselves at any hint of progressive agenda willing to go to war over it, as I posted in the other thread. It isn't going to be an easy fight now matter how we look at it right now. Just trying to get the courts to allow after GOP stacked them it is a whole other hurdle after we pass anything as well now. Taking what we can now so that I , and others like me ,don't die due to the oppositions plan is still a huge improvement over what happens without it. I really don't want to die because people thought " this wasn't good enough"., because you know, I really want to live too. I am not exaggerating, I will literally die within a few hours without my breathing meds. I cannot afford my breathing meds without Obamacare either.
I donated to Bernie, I supported him and did what he asked in the primaries and am doing what he asks of me now and even Bernie says it is irresponsible not to support Biden:
"Bernie Sanders said Tuesday that it would be “irresponsible” for his loyalists not to support Joe Biden, warning that progressives who “sit on their hands” in the months ahead would simply enable President Donald Trump’s reelection."

I have never " shit over your ideals of a candidate", as they are mine as well. If you ever took anything I said as that, you misunderstood or mistook what I had said, because Geeze, I think I may even be farther left than you are. Medicare for all isn't enough as far as I am concerned. I want to RAISE QUALITY STANRDS to much higher than Medicare for all offers. I think everyone should have access to the same quality of medical treatment the wealthy have. I want EVERYONE to have access to that quality, Bernie's plan doesn't actually do that. I see that the wealthy in the US actually have enough wealth that they can do that and so much more. This is the wealthiest nation in the world, it is time they start acting like it.
I also want to have us eliminate homelessness and not by building more ghettos, but though giving the poor access to middle class housing and have the wealthy pay for that too. I want a minimum standard of living as a right. I in no way think you are wrong about wanting more out of candidates, I agree with your ideals, Mine may actually be even more demanding. That doesn't mean I just let everything get even worse though than it has to be. Biden wasn't who I wanted to win the primaries either, but that doesn't mean I suicide and kill myself and others over it by letting Trump win by doing nothing. I'm sorry if I ever came across as thinking you were wrong for wanting more in a candidate, that was never my intention. Saying I feel strongly about this is an understatement though, for me, this election is literally is matter of life and death. From my perspective, people saying "it doesn't matter if trump wins" is telling me " It doesn't matter if you die". To me, it very much does.
