They're against healthcare reform and pre-existing conditions?
Yeah, look at what they did to Bernie and Medicare for All. They are explicitly against healthcare reform.
edit: or if Bernie is too polarizing of an example, look at how candidate Biden's #1 policy proposal was the public option, and once elected he completely dropped it.
Who did what to Bernie? Be specific. Explain, one last time, you understand how basic legislation is passed in the United States of America. Be specific please.
I’m 100 in for blue up and down the ticket this year in a non-battleground red state.
Debbie Wassermann-Schultz, former DNC chair is largely responsible for tipping the scales to Hillary Clinton and away from Bernie. Had Bernie been the candidate, I believe that we would never have had Trump in the first place. I’m still pretty pissed off about her specificity.
First, you haven't given any specific examples of "tipping the scales". 2nd, for "tipping the scales" to work, Sanders would have had to be very close to Clinton in support. He had signficant support certainly but unfortunately not close enough for the outcome to be in doubt.
Thank you. We can address DWS and Bernies ability to secure the nomination but I want Kronos to engage first. I'm not forking out of this discussion yet but I will come back.
