      Also this. If/when this passes House, *something* will quite likely pass the Senate.https://twitter.com/thegarance/status/859969902051983361 …

      People saying the AHCA will run aground in the Senate reminds me of people saying Trump will never win election.

      as of this morning, Democrats have raised ~1.2M to fund challengers to Republicans who voted for Obamacare repeal. https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2017/05/obamacare-repeal-republicans-health-care-law-democrats/525555/ …

      Tea Party is a very successful movement. It had a real grassroots—and it was smart, strategic. But it also got funded. "Resistance"? Not so.

      2. A lot easier to build a movement around cuts -- 'anti-tax' 'anti-regulation' -- vs. building -- single payer healthcare

      If we can't build a movement around what's going on now, I don't know what to say...

      I'm not saying it can't be built. Just saying the Tea Party didn't sprout over night. It was built over a decade before it 'went public'

      Don't disagree; but here we are. So more urgent to jump start best we can muddle through.

      I'm with you. The key is picking the issue(s). Single payer health care (despite meaning tax increases) may be it.

      Expanding healthcare, taxes on the rich & higher minimum wage are all issues that are broadly popular even across the political spectrum.

      And Hillary and the DNC pushed all three of these when campaigning... it didn't work -- I'll argue because of a lack of charisma

      I live in NC; I did not see a single ad by the Clinton campaign on any of those issues. Not a single one. Research says they didn't push.

          "Medicare for all" "Raise the minimum wage" "Tax the wealthy" Three simple phrases that should define the democratic party.

          Obama won pushing this, and then we got the Tea Party, GOP gridlock, and T. And now maybe the pendulum will swing back...

          So there were marketing failures, not necessarily policy failures

          Yes, and yes and yes. There is a study; Clinton barely ran policy ads. Close to zero. Unprecedentedly little. Trump ran policy ads. Lots.
