              Repeating orthodoxy in the face of evidence and baselessly labeling it “reality” is what passes for “ideas”?

              You said that progressives can’t pay for their proposals. I showed a progressive proposal that saves over the status quo (along with a stack of other policies you ignored, and reprehensible wastes of money that centrists never fret about paying for). When pressed, I provided receipts. M4A would save money and lives.

              By this point in the conversation, most centrists would have become condescending and abusive or would have started slinging wild accusations that I’m a Russian or a Trumpist.

              But you’re a mod and have to set an example, so all you have is repetition of something that has already been debunked.

              Tell me more about how progressives don’t have any ideas.

                  Yes, centrists work with Republicans to maintain a status quo in which we waste obscene amounts of money and tens of thousands die unnecessarily every year.

                  Your gloating about this does not mean that progressives lack ideas.

                  Congratulations on all the waste and death.
