    This is what Hillary Clinton compares to "buying a kid a pony" in her new book. Every industrialized nation on Earth already has this!https://twitter.com/shaunking/status/906544061166837760 …

        No, they all have universal healthcare, but not all use single payer. 🇩🇪&🇨🇭 for ex. use a model similar to ACA, with added regulations.

        Which is more or less what Hillary was advocating for - a multipayer approach to universal health coverage.

        So let's dispense with the notion that Bernie's single payer proposal is the end all be all when it comes to progressive healthcare policy

        Are you purposefully misreading her analogy or do you really not get it? She was talking about her pragmatism vs Sanders.

        The pony analogy sums up 2016 political Twitter. It happened over and over again.

        Yes, but if you criticize HRC the anointed one you are a sexist with a double-standard.

        If you have, did you think it was very frustrating? Especially if a white person then said the same thing and got taken seriously?

        And do you think maybe thisalso happens to women? Especially women who are not "supposed to" be in power?

        Knowing that the white patriarchy will doubt just because it's YOU? So better to start small & work up than be too bold @ first.

        We are not on opposite sides but being derisive abt Hillary creates false "sides". Let's work to end white patriarchy instead.
