The entire Clinton administration was behind the Health Security Act and the task force was headed by First Lady Clinton. It would have given us universal care, but insurers tanked it. She learned from its failure. Difference between her and Sanders is she did the work.
Furthermore his own state tried universal care and it failed.
No they did not. They passed it in 2011 and were working on a plan. The governor ran on it in 2014 and then declared it unfeasible just days after being elected. At no point did they run a single payer system
II said the effort failed. You said Clinton hadn’t proposed a universal plan—that is incorrect. Point is she spent political capital to get it done. Your guy doesn’t ever do that.
He just whines that someone else isn’t doing enough.
To be fair, Bernie does draft vanity bills and then uses his capital to get people to give up or flip sides.
It’s a cynical attempt to get people to sign up for goals he knows aren’t viable, so that he can then use their reluctance to say they’re against his “progressive” position.
It’s almost as if he’s a clout-chasing grifter who doesn’t want to achieve progress.
Yes. He wouldn’t have a platform otherwise.
