(18,150 posts)get it through in Vermont, then he should not be quietly allowing his supporters to abuse other good elected Democrats.
It's not a difficult concept. Not difficult at all.
It doesn't matter what the reasons were for the failure in Vermont. He should be EXPLAINING them to people instead of leading them to believe that the only reason they don't have single payer is because Democrats are not working for them. That is blatantly false as proven by the failure in Vermont.
I don't see anyone attacking Vermont politicians over single payer failure. So why the hell are they being attacked in other parts of the country. It's absurd to allow other politicians to take abuse for something you haven't done yourself -- whatever the reasons. Explain the reasons to people. Explain why Vermont doesn't have single payer -- whatever the reasons are -- explain them.
You should quit making this personal. You are being deliberately obtuse yourself about what is being said here. If Sanders' wants to be a microphone for single payer, then show us how it worked or didn't in his own state. But, then he would have to explain why it failed, so.........
