      ...that it should not be a focal point in the debate over which of them is preferable, in my opinion. I also think that pretending Bernie's bully pulpit can make single-payer happen -- in the abscence of evidence -- does not actually advance single-payer's prospects...

      as it distracts from rigorous engagement with the broader obstacles that the movement faces.

      So Warren IS lukewarm on Medicare for All or willing to hedge on it, and that IS a difference between her and Sanders, but it doesn't matter and we shouldn't care about it because neither of them are going to get it done?

      I don't know where Warren stands. But given their backgrounds and histories on this issue, I think it is reasonable to believe that she is less committed. At the same time, I don't think we can actually know with certainty how either of them will operate once in power.

      Contrary to his critics allegations, Bernie has long been a pragmatic incrementalist when it comes to policymaking.

      You're making an excellent case for Sanders over Warren here

      If I could unilaterally make Sanders or Warren president, I would pick Bernie because I do not trust her as much on foreign policy, and the president has a lot of power over that.

      Welcome aboard, only one of them can be the nominee though, so you should write an article detailing this distinction over foreign policy that does matter

      I think I'm on record as saying that Bernie has far and away the best foreign policy of any of the candidates. That's the best reason to vote for him (the second best is that he's likely to do the best in the general of any of the left-of-center candidates).
