    It's almost as if a medical insurance system tied to at-will employment isn't in the interests of the working class!https://twitter.com/ChrisJansing/status/1231335026291179521 …

    Fascinating - I asked many @SenSanders supporters about their unions’ concern about Medicare for All. They told me yes, they have good insurance now but what if they lose their jobs? And they have friends and family w/o jobs (NV jobless rate is higher than national average)

        I'll keep banging the drum: a vast majority of pundits, politicians, reporters, etc have no idea how massive the empathy gap between Millennial/the rest of the new Democratic coalition is against other generations of voters. Lack of empathetic policy is disqualifying for Dems.

        This is not a coalition motivated by self-interest in the slightest. Throw out a lot of the old rules entirely.

        Decouple healthcare from employment. This should be in the Democratic Party platform.

        Of course, employees covered by a collective bargaining agreement aren’t at will.

        Even if he doesn't, he's starting negotiations from a place of strength. Not caving before the fight even starts like Obama did. If he held strong we'd already have a public option

        National health insurance will open up a new band of entrepreneurs, now too worried about insurance to leave their jobs. This is good. And it will incentivize employers to find a way to keep those potential entrepreneurs -- better working conditions. This too is good.

        This laser focus on the working class to the exclusion of everyone else is not going to build a winning coalition.

        You're right we should be working extra hard for the... 600 billionaire votes. The 99% > the 1%
