Only Felix had a few good words for it - the rest retreated into lame doomed crap as though it’s only theatre.

Fuck that! Make Pelosi sweat! Fuck shit up and push hard now, while public support for M4A is peaking.

    No. It’s not about him.

        I don’t care if JD is upset.

        I care if American Lefties can grab an opportunity when it’s there.

            The height of liberal politics is defeatist bullshit from lefties, makes lefties no threat at all.

                Stomping your feet and screaming might be more productive than “Yes Ms Pelosi, of course Ms Pelosi, three money bags full Ms Pelosi”.

                Especially when you campaign to get the 80% who support M4A to stomp their feet and scream with you.

                    Now is the time to stomp your feet and scream.

                    Alas, all I can do is cheer you on from the other side of the world.

                    What? You’re above learning from your enemies’ successes?

                        Granted. You won a small rhetorical point and will never get M4A.

                            I agree. You will never get Medicare For All if you never fight for it. Is that meaningless?

                                A war can be fought on multiple fronts.

                                A first vote loss would not be the end. It need not damage other efforts.

                                    And if I said sure, you’re right - then all would be well.

                                    Those arduous efforts to develop M4A policy and devise transition and calculate costings and design ways to massage public acceptance - given that many ‘good’ jobs will be lost in healthcare insurance companies in swing states - I applaud all that work.

                                    I just don’t see how it somehow is destroyed by forcing a vote on the house floor.

                            I see how well expressed is your exasperation.

                            I feel the same way about you.
