Hands on deck to stop a dictator who endangers lives every day and is poised to steal our democracy. We need a resounding a win as possible. So I think every American should help beat him and not say he'll lose millions of votes b/c he didn't adopt certain policies.

I really appreciate your support and your willingness to discuss. Just to clarify, helping Biden = being quiet about the need for universal health care while millions lose their jobs?

Not being quiet. But when you say he could lose millions of votes by not adopting it when we know he likely won't and honestly, sadly, he won so we can't expect him to adopt everything we want, says to me it's ok to not do anything we can to beat Trump. I don't believe it is. 1/

I’ve personally spoken with many people who have said they’re on the fence between Biden and a 3rd party and will vote for him if he adopts #m4a. If I have that knowledge I feel I’m hurting him by not saying it out loud.

Kinda like there were people saying that Hillary shouldn’t gloss over the entire Midwest in 2016.

I think you might be hurting the country by not encouraging those people to see the greater good and that MFA shouldn't be a dealbreaker given the stakes. You have much more influence over those people than Biden. And the majority of voters voted for him knowing his position.

I have more influence over people than Biden? Damn. Isn’t that the problem? He should be building relationships with the working people of this country and listening to what they need.

That's not what I meant. Lol. I meant you have more influence over your supporters than you do over Biden.
