Should Democrats who decline to support Medicare for All be primaried?

[frazzled]

6. No, because ...

all Democratic legislators at this particular moment in time—unprecedented in its Republican-controlled lockstop descent into chaos and destruction—need to focus their attention on that which is attainable. That is, they must focus like a laser on preventing Republican destruction of existing laws and institutions so that the least damage is done.

Focusing on wish-list items like Medicare for All (which we all must admit is not going to be achieved during this administration) is like tilting at windmills while the entire farm is burning down. It's a waste of time and energy to be placing top priority on things that are not of this moment. The art of legislating is knowing when the right time has come: otherwise, you move backward, not forward.

Let's put Brogressives in perspective: they're distracting us, not helping.
