ah, yeah, to me "wrangle up the votes to get Obamacare passed" reads as "desperately maneuvered to put a stake in single-payer's heart"
Single payer simply didn't have the support it does today in 2009. It was the smarter policy, but couldn't pass, Even ACA was hard to pass
the way i heard it it had plenty of legs until Lieberman decided it wasn't free market enough http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/prescriptions/2009/10/did_lieberman_just_kill_the_public_option.html …
Well blame Ol' Joe then. You have to get it passed him, and you need every vote in the senate
yeah sure, i just don't feel like Nancy "we're capitalists, and that's just the way it is" Pelosi was too broken up over it
I have no idea, but it doesn't really matter if you can't get it pass Joe in the Senate, and you need both pro & anti single payer factions
i'm just not going to be impressed with getting the former to vote for a shitty right wing proposal instead of working the opposite angle
relying on the left being captured because they care and will vote for the lesser evil isn't heroic, it's triangulation and cowardice
heroically establishing mandatory profits for one of the most corrupt industries ever to spring from America's bowels? partial marks at best
