I think your whole framework is flawed. I don’t view any of this as an “us v them” issue. I’m not on any team. I make my evaluations of policies and proceed from there. And I think I’m closer to the American in this

Ok well im very much on a team. The team that wants everyone to have healthcare. So, that’s my bias.

Eh. As someone not on a team, it looks an awful lot like people on teams are in the habit of conveniently defining objective standards of right and wrong that look suspiciously like the borders of their particular ideological box

Ok but on this issue we are talking about life and death kinda stuff. I don’t know how to respect any position that isn’t one that gets everyone covered somehow.

Im not sure that’s ideology - I’ve never seen myself as ideological. It’s just wanting everyone to have the opportunity to survive illness.

What I’m saying is that there’s some Bernie supporters who would call you out for even supporting the ACA, because it’s not progressive enough, and some actually communist who would call the Bernie supporters out Most people choose to opt out of that version of the wokelympics

Bernie voted for the ACA! and I support Bernie’s Medicare for all plan. I’m for the best plan we can get.

It’s not about you
