      "Fuck off mate, I got mine" is obviously not a leftist message. But it's also not even a liberal one.https://twitter.com/AlexThomp/status/1154763001016328192 …

      I think it's a political mistake to frame the healthcare debate as a war between different people over the level of care they should receive rather than between ordinary people versus insurance companies. This Biden frame will make it harder to achieve anything.

          It's a mistake for people who support Medicare 4 all. For people who dont, it could be an effective attack.

          Sounds similar to Obama's cynical campaign against the individual mandate in the 2008 primary. It helped scare people away from Clinton's plan, but it also poisoned the well when he eventually conceded after the election that the mandate was a good idea. https://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/02/01/obama-does-harry-and-louise-again/ …

          I realize that it’s expedient to use a widely-hated industry as a political foil, but then there’s the question of what policies will actually deliver what people ultimately want.

          Sure, but at this point I think the insurance companies themselves have made it blindingly clear that they won't do that.

          "achieve anything" assumes literally anything can pass Congress, which it can't. Absolute best pie-in-the-sky scenario is 50 Ds, which includes Manchin. Just so we all are clear about that.

          Hey, mate. It's already been framed: Medicare for all who want it. Pay attention.

          this stokes fear that the care you'd get under Medicare for America/For All/Public Option would be inferior to what you get under that union plan.
