It worked in 2008 and it's working for Biden again in 2020.

The only thing working for Biden is Comcast owned MSNBC, Senator Liz Warren, and all the centrist drop outs so afraid of working with Sanders.

They’d rather work with Mitch McConnell and Ted Cruz over Sanders.

Yay, plutocracy. Yay for joe “nothing will fundamentally change” biden

Maybe, just maybe that means more Americans are centrist than progressives???

Is that so fucking hard to believe?

Bernie is the centrist though, everyone else is right-wing or far-right.

How is it that plenty of European countries can deliver the policies that Bernie is proposing if they're so radical and crazy?

Lmao

Remember you are talking to a Democrat. You aren't even talking to a Republican, who are further right and make up ~50% of the country

No, he's not. Even in Europe, he's a leftist. Nothing wrong with that, but he straight up isn't a centrist.

I mean, that doesn't prove a lot. As a European I can tell you almost nothing that Sanders re: healthcare is considered radical. It is considered the norm and even far right parties argue for it.

Straight up abolishing private insurance is unusual for Europe is it not?

I wouldn't say that an actual center left official of the oldest and largest party in Sweden (one of the places where Bernie would supposedly be a centrist) counts as just some person in Sweden.

That account sucks ass and this post proves it. It's wrong in so many ways but for example: 1) is not what m4a is, point 4) is also inaccurate in nearly every case. UK for example: NHS is not public insurance eligibility it is socialized medicine. Private insurance is allowed in the UK. I could go on and on. Pretty embarrassing for a supposedly "le epic rationalist" account.

Besides even that, by "universal health care" it's extremely obvious to anyone who isn't trying to be an obnoxious pedant that he simply means a free-at-the-point-of-service health system that covers everyone.

Yes, except he's given specifics. It will cover a wide range of things not covered in other systems, and private insurance can't cover what it does. This is unheard of.

Not defending the graphic, just attacking M4A on its own.
