(19,348 posts)They hate Mary Landrieau, a lifelong Democrat who voted with us 9 out of 10 times. Yet they embrace
confederate apologist/sexist/Reaganite Jim Webb.
They loved Obamacare until Bernie came along and promised them something that will take some time to implement.
Strange isn't it?
Howard Dean, under the bus with Gabby Giffords.

"Bold ideas are wonderful. I have no problem with bold ideas.
But you don't get there in one step. And we didnt get to the moon in one step, either.
Maybe youre not old enough to remember how it went I am, and I do.
We launched satellites first. Unmanned rockets. Then animals. Lots of failures too.
Then we went to men. First just suborbital. Then orbital. Just one guy too, not many.
Then we went to TWO guys. Bigger rockets.
Then it was three, which is what it would take for the moon. Orbits first, then orbits around the moon, then the moon landing.
We lost guys getting there too.
So if you want to aim for universal, single payer, thats great. Im all for that.
But it wont happen in one fell swoop. It will come in pieces, and there will be setbacks along the way.
The ACA is just the satellites and suborbital flights phase. Well move on from there.
But not as fast as some would like, and not all at once, because nothing that big of a change ever happens overnight. Or all at once.
But it happens, nonetheless. "
The ACA is the first step in getting national coverage for all.
Sanders pipe dream is not happening. National coverage is not going to happen in one turn. It will take time.

(1,968 posts)He's just afraid of Clinton! He sold out! Get the bus, damn it, GET THE BUS!
(I'm avoiding the DU front page for the foreseeable future and I'll return after Super Tuesday, so I'm only guessing, but I imagine that these are the headlines).

(1,053 posts)Well, except Twitter followers...but unfortunately, they don't get a vote in Congress.
With the rate his followers are disowning people (and presumably, not intent on voting
for anyone who has praised Clinton), we'd end up with a Bernie president and a
Congress full of Republicans.
Least we'd know we'd have enough F-35's for wars Bernie says he doesn't even want
(a very confusing sentence indeed).
If Hillary people started throwing Bernie endorsements under the bus (we don't, and
we won't...because mob mentality is idiotic), at least we'd only have to round
up a mini-bus. "Everyone, under the Volkswagen!"
Sorry, I've read too much crap on the rest of DU today, I think the stink
is starting to rub off on me. Better take a break, lest I become an
"internet warrior" too.

(12,448 posts)was always about "getting things done" His healthcare plan when he was running for president was specifically crafted because he thought it could pass; it was not the one he wanted. That's what I've always loved about him, and now about Hillary Clinton also.
