Is it insulting Bernie when we require him to fight for ACA instead of pushing progressive dreams ?

38. Don't put any energy into it right now, then.

It's that simple.

Bills are introduced all the time that go nowhere. Once they grow legs, put your energy into them - or not.

For now my daughter needs you to put your energy into fighting the ACA repeal efforts, rather than trashing a bill that keeps an idea in the public eye - but is not going anywhere at the moment.

There are people who are not aware the repeal ACA effort has grown another head. Promote efforts to call and oppose that, rather than bemoaning the introduction of more than 1000 bills this congress - most of which are introduce to promote ideas, rather than having an expectation they will go anywhere in the near future.

I'm directing this specifically to you, since I see you spending a lot of time in these threads bashing the introduction of a bill that has zero chances of going anywhere soon, rather than (or at least more than) rallying the troops to oppose the ACA repeal. Just ignore the Sanders bill - giving it so much attention only feeds the chances that it actually will detract from the immediate need to repeal the ACA.
