(17,082 posts)being realistic, and she was virtually lied about as this kind of misrepresentation you are presenting wants to perpetuate. Demonizing and misrepresenting what Democrats say and do is what gave us Trump.
This just looks like grandstanding, as anyone can talk endlessly about how wonderful things are. It doesn't mean anything if it's presented as Democrats are holding people back from single payer when that is not the reality. BTW, I notice you keep neglecting to acknowledge why Vermont doesn't have single payer.
Back to Vermont. Maybe you can bring yourself soon to repeat why Vermont doesn't have single payer -- you should present realistic talking points instead of cherry picked notions about single payer.
There are other great improvements that can be done, as well. Public option, etc. Hillary fought for universal health care literally DECADES ago. Obama's plan is the law of the land. Lots of good Democrats have made great progress. Don't hold things back with over playing things. Stick to reality.
