I dont know if my daughter qualifies as ‘hard left’ but she says she would like single payer but knows it would never pass. Most of the real fighting seems to be over that ‘public option’ thing zero keeps talking about. My daughter says she is fighting for that because it is the only way she will ever be insured (she has pre-existing conditions). My neighbor down the street is the same way. She is diabetic and lost her job a few months ago. She found a new job but it doesnt have insurance and she cant afford cobra. Now my sister has recruited her into the march toward socialism. We need to find these people an alternative to obamacare or they just might succeed in pushing it through.
I meant daughter not sister above though sometimes I fight with my daughter as much as I ever did with my sister.

The main problem I have is the my son says his opinion is based on his own data and research not just all other scientists he talks to, so when I try to challenge his notions he acts like Im calling him a lier or something. The other day he tried to show me some charts of ocean temperatures and plankten samples and how carbon was building up and making acid. Ill admit it was all a bit over my head, but since this is his own research he obviously has a lot of emotion tied to and that makes it hard to talk to him about it. He honestly thinks people like us are ‘killing the planet’. Im really glad Ive found a community like this where I can share because since my husband has been gone some years I dont have anyone to about this.
