He’s been arguing this on the Cushvlogs.

There’s truth in it, but it’s not the whole truth, not the only truth.

Just this year, most American lefties - from disparate groups to isolated individuals - coalesced to credibly threaten to pull together the majority of American voters in the presidential election to put a beloved, irascible, smart old leftie codger into the White House.

The ‘Not me. Us’ movement.

It was the only presidential campaign I remember that issued a moral challenge to its supporters - fight as hard for people who are different from you.

I could only cheer from afar.

I watched you knock on doors and talk to people, phonebank and talk to more people, donate and tell your friends.

I watched you post until you were saw!

It was a loss, but it was not a failure.

There is a structure that the ‘Not me. Us’ campaign built that must be used to campaign hard, right now, for Medicare For All.

If that structure - all the contacts and lines of communication - were handed over to the DNC to be used to elect yet another racist rapist, that would be a grim failure.

And if the ‘Not me, Us’ campaign is allowed to dissipate and is not used - that will be a failure.

Flex that muscle now, or let it wither.
