On Medicare for all, it is true he has a different agenda that he's pushing.

Still a great one imo. One that if we do manage to reclaim the senate is likely to pass the numbers in both chambers.
Bernie (as president), will not pass a bill that gets either plan passed, nor will Biden, nor will Beto, nor will Kamila, nor will any candidate we elect.
The Senate and the House will get to decide. ALL of our candidates will pass ANY Democratic Party led bill that expands the ACA, OR goes single payer, OR goes Medicare for all, OR goes full on universal right to and funded healthcare. ANY of our candidates will sign any of these bills into law.. NONE of the Republicans will. This "policy infighting" is absolutely absurd.
Bernie actually has MORE power to get the bill he wants passed in his current position. The POTUS will only either sign it or veto it.
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
