      Well, Bernie Sanders is now the clear favorite for the Democratic nomination. Lots of things to say about that, but the most important is that he is NOT a left-leaning version of Trump. Even if you disagree with his ideas, he's not a wannabe authoritarian ruler 1/

      America under a Sanders presidency would still be America, both because Sanders is an infinitely better man than Trump and because the Democratic Party wouldn't enable abuse of power the way Republicans have 2/

      And if you're worried about his economic agenda, what's your concern, exactly? That he'll run budget deficits? Trump is doing that already — and the economic effects have been positive 3/

      I'm more concerned about (a) electability and (b) if he does win, squandering political capital on unwinnable fights like abolishing private health insurance. But if he's the nominee, it's the job of Dems to make him electable if at all possible 4/

          To be honest, a Sanders administration would probably leave center-left policy wonks like me out in the cold, at least initially. But this is no time for self-indulgence and ego trips. Freedom is on the line 5/

          For a country that says we can do anything. We sure act helpless when it comes to accomplishing the same things that the rest of the industrialized world has all ready had for years.

          I’ve talked to hundreds of ppl about company sponsored healthcare not one of them liked their healthcare. This is a BS talking point.

          I’d love to hear your best version of a General-election pitch for Sanders “No he’s not really the socialist he says he is and besides, the GOP and conservative Dems won’t let him do what he wants. So vote for Bernie!” [Admittedly, the message needs tweaking]

          Private health insurance will not be abolished, it will exist alongside public healthcare. It merely means that the uninsured can have access to healthcare surely?

          HE shouldn't abolish private health insurance. If the wealthy want to pay, let them. The way to undermine private health is by making sure all Americans have access to free quality treatment everywhere. People will then organically migrate from private to public.
