I believe my exact answer was "Kevin McCarthy but everyone else is going to say AOC, so put me down for that"In post 49, Cephrir wrote:3 sounded like it was about being speaker but actually the question was really "name a us representative anyone has heard of" and i'm sorry if you didn't get the memo"Cry havoc, and let slip the wombat of war!"

Yeah I misread question 3, I thought it was about speaker of the house. For the question I read, by far the most likely way she's not speaker is if republicans get a majority (Dems are more likely to keep their majority than lose it, but Dems lose is more likely than Pelosi relinquishes power/dies/loses her seat). If the Republicans get a house majority, the most likely speaker is probably the current minority leader, Kevin McCarthy.
For the actual question 3 though, "Name a representative who isn't Nancy Pelosi", yeah I see why AOC was the most popular.Who said that?
Chamber. It's all a conspiracy.

Chuck Schumer is the old guy who's currently the minority leader. (At least, he is in the context of the senate. In the context of the house the old guy who is currently minority leader is Kevin Mccarthy)
this is some bullshitIn post 30, Haschel Cedricson wrote:When going for a person I ruled you do have to get the specific name.Last edited by N on Thu Jul 16, 2020 7:19 pm, edited 1 time in total.- Haschel Cedricson

I’m sure I’ll be corrected but my understanding is roughly that Medicare for all is a single-payer system like the NHS in the Uk where medical services are free at the point of useIn post 64, Iconeum wrote:

Whereas obamacare is still a system using insurance but if you’re on a low income there’s like government support in terms of buying your insurance or you buy it from the government? But you still have all the BS of needing insurance to see a doctor"we knew everything... And we knew nothing."- Menalque

The short version is that Obamacare expanded the current system to enroll more people, cover more things, and lower premiums, but it's still the old system of private health insurance mostly paid for by employers. Medicare For All is closer to a single-payer system where there would be no premiums or deductibles, and private insurance would only cover services not covered under MFA.- Who

As the only other person to put a republican for most likely non-pelosi speaker, you get an honorable mention for most realistic and informed.In post 65, Iconeum wrote:also, these results are clearly rigged and i should have won this easily
(Well, technically your answer was even less likely than AOC, but you were clearly going for something related to Pelosi/the speaker of the house position, instead of just naming a random representative)Who said that?

Yeah, but the Republicans have like, a 2% chance to flip the House, while Pelosi has been fighting internal challenges for years. She's almost certainly going to retain power, but it might actually be more likely that the left wing of the party maneuvers her out of power than the other party."Cry havoc, and let slip the wombat of war!"
