We simply cannot settle for the ACA

43. In far too many instances we are not even mounting effective challengers to the Establishment

candidate in our primaries.

Specifically I point out Tammy Duckworth and Maggie Hassan as examples THIS go round. From what I've learned of both, neither would be open to single payer.

We get blocked before the general election, and in the Senate every block against us that is held by a Democrat (we have 2 in my state via Warner and Kaine) makes single payer that much more unlikely.

We'll need to massively organize to take on the Establishment that is fighting against our dreams for this country.

I hope that Bernie's campaign wakes us up to what we need to do. And, if primary challengers are required of our elected Democrats then so be it. Actual lives are at stake (as well as more financially secure and happy lives). No one should face dealing with bankruptcy because they got sick and are fighting for their lives. That's disgraceful.

Everyone that fights to prevent a more humane health care system is a special, special person.
