    The Democratic nominee is going to get loaded down a bunch of unpopular positions in the primary. It's a huge problem progressives are both causing and wishing away.http://nymag.com/intelligencer/2019/07/democratic-candidates-taking-unpopular-stances-progressive-trump-private-insurance-decriminalize-border.html …

        Private insurance companies are NOT popular. People want to know that they have health care. The idea that private insurance does a great job and is popular is ludicrous. They want to know they won't DIE. This is a bad article & a weak take that ignores the concept of frames.

        So you would personally prefer Medicare rather than a private health insurance provider? 177M Americans have private health insurance...

        "Unpopular" stances like better healthcare, gun control, anti-corruption, higher taxes on the wealthy, you mean?

        The other guy is campaigning on baby jails for migrants. I think we’ll be ok.

        So what is it you want, an anointed blank-slate nominee who can pretend to take any position she or he thinks will be helpful in the general?

        That’s one opinion. The other is that systemic inequality has negatively impacted a majority, and they want progressive solutions.

        If that strategy is such a winner, Hilary would already be president. Doubling down isn't going to fair better.
