1. Wonder if that's why Nina "stein voter" Turner got all ugly about Biden

2. We all want universal healthcare.

There are countless ways to do it with workable examples in many nations. I generally favor the French approach.

But I realize what we get will not look like any other plan and will be far from perfect. I’m old enough to realize what Politics looks like.

Making your stand on one out of many options, especially one as flawed as MFA when we are not even power seems crazy to me.

Just say you want universal healthcare and you will endeavor to accomplish the best possible. Americans are practical people. The worst thing we could do is promise something unpopular that has no chance of passing.

Jesus. This is not that difficult. Most Americans support universal healthcare. They don’t give a shit about the details.
