I fail to see how that makes sense. Perhaps some context is lost in the snippet of the tweet that you've posted.
For me, the answer is simple: the very existence of (any) healthcare for profit is an injury to many.
Pete is offering choice. If you WANT medicare (but not afford it) you get to have it.
If you want to keep your current plan you can choose that as well.
Maybe Sara has theories that this could collapse the health insurance companies but that sounds too much like the GOP fearmongering about ACA ten years ago. Even if it does, it can be fixed.
Or perhaps Sara has some other theory. But to call Pete's policy dangerous without substantiation is histrionic.

I fail to see how that makes sense. Perhaps some context is lost in the snippet of the tweet that you've posted.
For me, the answer is simple: the very existence of (any) healthcare for profit is an injury to many.

2) You have a weird definition of "tangent."

I would have used “hysteria” if it was a tweet from Jimmy Hoffa. Like disagreeing that queersagainstpete is a political movement, I disagree that Sara’s interpretation of Pete’s words are offensive and dangerous. Hysteria.ecdanc said:

Pete is offering choice. If you WANT medicare (but not afford it) you get to have it.
If you want to keep your current plan you can choose that as well.
Maybe Sara has theories that this could collapse the health insurance companies but that sounds too much like the GOP fearmongering about ACA ten years ago. Even if it does, it can be fixed.
Or perhaps Sara has some other theory. But to call Pete's policy dangerous without substantiation is histrionic.0 -

Why is SJW pejorative?
Seems more like it should be an honorific to me.
Seriously, what's wrong with fighting for social justice? If we think something is wrong with that, then why the fuck even bother with anything anymore?I SAW PEARL JAM0 -
Why does it always come down to 1 person labeling others instead of the topic?
I'm very interested to see what happens in Nevada and SC. Do the majority of Bernie, Warren, Biden, Pete, Amy and Steyer make it to super Tuesday? I guess I would say Biden is at the most risk due to putting all his eggs in SC currently and the fact he isn't a big fundraiser. And then along comes Bloomberg..... Should be and eye opening 3 weeks ahead.hippiemom = goodness0 -

safe to say lots of words and terms have more than one meaning. I guess if one seems predisposed to being defensive.........

SJWSJW stands for "Social Justice Warrior", however its actual meaning has changed several times, and even now depends on context.
Originally the term was positive, with figures such as Martin Luther King Jr. and Mahatma Gandhi being described as such when praised for their work in bringing justice and equality to oppressed groups. Examples of its use as a term of praise go back as far as 1824, and this continued to be the meaning of the term up until around 2011.
In 2011 several events, primarily Gamergate, led to the term becoming a pejorative. Many began to use the term to describe people who were overly sensitive and quick to insult anyone who said something they perceived as attacking or oppressing some group of people, even when it wasn't warranted. Basically, anyone who overreacted to a perceived slight against a person or group of people.
However, the term has continued to evolve. While the previous definition sometimes applies, it's now often used simply as an excuse to dismiss things other people say without having to think about them at all, regardless of whether or not they have a valid point. In other words, it's increasingly used as if it's a "get out of jail free" card for insulting entire groups of people. This watering down of the meaning is slowly turning the term into a meaningless insult.Early: "The late Reverend King's work as a social justice warrior helped lead to the integration of all races in our schools today."
Mid: "All I said was that maybe she overreacted, and the SJW accused me of oppressing all women!"
Late: "She should get off YouTube and make me a sandwich. And before any of you SJWs complain, it's just a joke."
