It's simply reality-based as opposed to based on ideological fantasy scenarios or cognitive distortions.

Along those same lines, it would be helpful to discard some of the legal & other fictions - some seem poorly conceived, misguided &/or heading in the wrong direction, for example the syllogism that begins with a fallacious major premise:

Beginning with the major premise that, fr'instance, 'Corporations are people, have the same rights ...' is problematic & is not reality-based. This leads to a plethora of syllogistic fallacies.

Personally, I think some of the 'false premises' 'black/white thinking patterns' (cognitive distortions) & lame fantasy-based ideological schticks need to be countered with reality. Otherwise, it does not appear we as a people will have the desire necessary to make a pragmatic, plausible, possible solution, such as 'Medicare for All,' come into being.

The issue is many think it is going to raise taxes, of course it will. You have to offset "premiums" somehow. The only issue I see is the end of private sector health insurance unless we go to the Part-B model. It will call for fewer agents and secretaries in the health insurance sector.

However this state opt out plan Pence is working on is NOT just THE answer, it should even be an option on a multiple choice test.

I agree on Citizens United.

I don't blame him one bit. It's time to move on if they won't cooperate. It's just another case of not being able to fix stupid.

Really, why should he be blamed, for promising to repeal Obama care on day one? The supreme deal-maker gave it his best shot for 18 whole days! What else could he possibly do?!? It's not like he's expected to actually lead our nation or our congress.

And I'm absolutely sure Mexico will pay for that wall...
