“Rather than insisting on “Medicare for All” - Sanders’ trademark universal, government-funded health care plan -or the climate-change-fighting Green New Deal, Our Revolution is focusing on the more modest alternatives endorsed by President Joe Biden.” 🤦🏻‍♀️ apnews.com/article/joe-biden…

"pragmatism" is the new face of..... OBSTRUCTIONISM When these countries wanted to make sure families weren't going bankrupt due to medical bills They didn't allow obstructionism through incrementalism They solved the problem long ago

Mainly because they don’t have the support of the majority of Americans to pass these measures.

Scratch @OurRevolution off the donation and volunteer list if you're a Sanders progressive. We already have an establishment, don't need another.

Isn't it amazing that a policy favored by 87% of #Democrats is not "pragmatic?" In the midst of a pandemic? We live in dark times. #Democrats are the disease, not the cure. #MedicareForAll

I knew @OurRevolution national were sellouts when they endorsed @TeamKCP over @GaryChambersJr in #LA02. They’ve been problematic and abandoned EVERYTHING that OR was supposed to stand for. You can’t retask an org meant for political revolution into a tool for neoliberalism lmfao

And sadly Bernie won't push back on that. He wouldn't want to upset his "friend'', Joe. I hope no one ever forgets that being friendly to the opponent didn't work.

I guess we the People aren’t worthy of health, education, justice or survival after all. Only politicians and donors are?
