Democrats need to push bold ideas that could be seen ahead of their time. They seem to always think they have to wait until it is inevitable in order to back it, like gay marriage. Be leaders instead of followers. The Rethugs will bitch and moan no matter what Democrats do, so why not give them some actual meat. Because they will just invent something otherwise anyways coughBenghazicough. Stop being afraid of them and Fox fucking news! Stop being on the defensive all the time. Push for single payer but do it boldly and craftily. First call it Medicare for All, every damn time you are asked. Then forget about reacting to being called names like socialist commie etc.. and just stay on message explaining the benefits. And why the richest nation on earth is almost literally the last nation on earth to guarantee health care as a right and not a privilege.
