Harris points out that Biden is inaccurate and critiques him fairly back.

He follows up with faulting four costs of her plan, saying it's unaffordable.

He's wrong. $3 Trillion is affordable under her plan.

She says doing nothing costs more, that all Americans should have access now.

Would so change my support if just one candidate would just step forward and admit that it doesn’t mean a damn thing what ANY of their positions on this is, and say “give me a senate and a house that passes any legislation that improves the healthcare system and makes it affordable to all, and I’ll sign the damn thing.. no matter how it’s framed.”

What’s going to be done about Trump.
What’s going to do to repair our image abroad.
What’s going to be done to repair the damage to judiciary appointments.
What’s going to be done to repair the damage done in our agencies by Cheetolini’s cronies..

THAT’s what I’d so much more like to hear.

Let’s be honest.. any f’n one of them will sign ANY legislation put on their desk that enhances healthcare.. Don’t doubt that Biden would sign a medicare for all.. don’t doubt that Kamala would sign an enhanced ACA.. It doesn’t f’n matter!! The Senate. The House.. They will decide what program goes forward if WE get them empowered to do so. FFS.
