In reply to the discussion: Biden:' 'He's been talking about Medicare for all for 35 years. Nothing's happened..' [View all]Tom Rinaldo
(22,919 posts)There has been a dramatic shift of public sentiment toward Medicare for All over the last four years. Increasingly it is finally become an issue whose time has come, or at least is more rapidly approaching. And I give much of the credit for that to Bernie Sanders, whether or not it could pass through Congress in 2020.
It takes time to build a winning constituency to push through a major change. It does not logically flow from that fact however that the sensible course defaults to halting work on building that constituency. We have moved much closer to achieving it over the last four years. The stronger we make the case, the sooner we will get there. We can't pass an amendment to repeal Citizens United through Congress now either. That doesn't mean we should stop advocating for that amendment either.It is needed now more than ever.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
