Bernie backers' attacks on Democrats infuriate the party

[R B Garr]

216. None of what you said about the governor is accurate. And none of what you said

precludes Bernie from telling people why Vermont does not have single payer. You must realize that people can easily Google the subject and see that your comments are not accurate about the governor in Vermont.

Bernie is not a victim of the governor. This whole charade is about protecting Bernie from criticism, when the responsible thing for him to do is to inform people of the problems with single payer being passed and quit blaming Democrats for something he has not done himself. If Bernie can't convince one governor from a little state, then why smear other Democrats who face the same realities.

This is not a difficult concept. Quit smearing Democrats for something you have not seen implemented in your own state, and be honest with people about why it is not passing. I note you left out the cost factors that the Vermont governor noted and also the lack of cost information that the speaker in California faced that forced the bill into review.

You can easily Google Jake Tapper's recent interview with Bernie about this subject. He asks why Vermont doesn't have single payer. At least now he is being questioned.

Bernie should stand behind California Assemblyman, Rendon, who is being targeted for a bogus recall over this single payer subject. Bernie should disavow his supporters harassing good elected Democrats over this when his own state didn't want it.
