As are a LOT of other things. I guess you don't give a rats ass when millions of people because of the end of ACA, insurance premiums will LITERALLY double.
But do YOU give a rats ass about that? Clearly NO. Let those bastards DIE, I will NEVER let MY tax dollar be used to cure people who are so lazy they refuse to get a job and just stay home playing video games. GET A JOB, LOSER.

That's pretty much it isn't it?
The ACA issue is thread worthy, but, yes, you are correct that if someone is lazy, stays home and does not get a job, plays video games, that I do not want any of my tax dollars to go to him for any purpose. That of course would include bandaids, recreational love, and government health care, among everything else.
I don't think you would either. I also don't think you would send your daughter to a foxhole in Stalingrad, nor make her compete against a man in a swimming event.
So, now you know where I stand. Since you are a disingenuous rabble rouser, no one knows where you stand. Very unhealthy for Forum fodder.

Ehhh, you said woman was a spectrum. I was correcting you.
i said woman in the context of gender was a spectrum. you ignored that and you talked about woman in the context of sex. I replied that speaking about man/woman in the context of sex doesn't cover all the cases which do not involve sex. you ignored that yet again.

I figured I would give your your rationale to NEVER support ANYONE for ANYTHING.
Your MO. So what else is new.

A problem with "debating" right wingers is that no matter how many times they are shown something their propaganda machine told them isn't so, they still insist on believing the lie.

That nothing in the Democratic proposals at issue now would expand health care to undocumented immigrants is a truth these gullible fools choose to ignore.
So.. how would it work then if Democrats agreed to the temporary extension? They need time to negotiate what? More nonsense propaganda and false dichotomies.

Republicans are not even trying to reopen government. The most interesting development is that air traffic controllers now have more political power in America than a sitting US senator.

Republicans in a lot of districts are worried about political fallout if ACA premiums spike. However, that won't happen for a few months yet.

The rest of your post just shows the folly of the Democratic "strategy" though it's inaccurate; Republicans in both the House and Senate have supported temporary funding extensions which would end the shutdown.

Air traffic controllers shortages due to calling out sick etc. because they aren't being paid would provide a quick end to the shutdown.

I remember the last time air traffic controllers stood up to a right wing administration; it didn't end well for them.
