(94,699 posts)...that doesn't have to do with republicans and moderates refusing to vote for it in red states - which has basically been the argument against it through successive presidential elections.
You know what doesn't go together, as well? Opposition to Nina Turner and opposition to Medicare for all.
It's clear that many opponents of providing Medicare for all are eager to use Nina Turner, or anyone they can associate with Bernie Sanders, to deflect from their opposition to the initiative.
This thread is no exception, with absolutely no reason given, other than they don't like Nina Turner.
I frankly don't care how you feel about Turner, but I really think Medicare for all deserves more consideration, if not support, than this effort to demonize it along with this antipathy to Turner, Sanders, or any other boogeyman used to deflect from the issue.
The worst is that with no actual election resting on the initiative, no red state moderate candidates to protect against the progressive proposal, it's still being demagouged and demonized by people identifying as Democrats.
