I have only seen national DSA leadership oppose the idea or turn it into a personality contest with Jimmy Dore.

How is that democratic at all?! They are openly contradicting the democratically-decided party line…

What an absolutely shit organization.

Here's the quote:

2019 presents a unique opportunity for the Democratic Socialists for Medicare for All campaign: to be a key player in pushing HR 1384, the Expanded and Improved Medicare for All Act, to a vote in the House of Representatives. DSA is not alone in this work. National Nurses United, along with nearly 30 other national and local unions and progressive organizations are coordinating to take advantage of this moment. Since Bernie Sanders’ presidential run in 2016, single-payer advocates have been successfully turning Medicare for All into a litmus test for politicians. A floor vote in the House will force representatives to finally reveal whether they’re on the side of healthcare profiteers or the side of the working class.

    I think it's really cool how millions of people are dying/have died from a pandemic, millions in the US have lost their insurance, and the discourse is now about the political optics of trying to pass healthcare reform, and how on one hand actually it's pointless and you shouldn't even try because it's just symbolic and the other that sure it's symbolic but actually that's good.

    Literally your entire country is insane, and the people here are the most guilty.
