45. That's also wrong.

He said that would happen if the funding mechanism wasn't changed. Obviously. That's what Single Payer is. The title of that tweet dishonestly left out the part about the change of funding mechanism. The whole clip was part of a discussion about Canada's Single Payer healthcare system and why it was so much more efficient than ours. To portray that as Bernie saying Single Payer can't work is just absurd.

You see what I'm getting at, right? I mean, eventually after this happens enough times, people who aren't already predisposed to hating Bernie just kind of get used to the daily stream of totally dishonest attacks on Bernie that come from centrist or right-wing twitter accounts. It all starts to blur together in one big pile of nonsense.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided

Really? Cause right now there's one about Bernie supposedly misrepresenting Biden DanTex Jan 2020 #5

can people on DU stop acting like their candidate has no flaws??? Skittles Jan 2020 #8

Yes they do. So why the need to make up other stuff just to attack Bernie. DanTex Jan 2020 #11

there certainly is no need to make stuff up Skittles Jan 2020 #24

Well, in that case, it's a quite odd decision that people make things up to attack him. DanTex Jan 2020 #25
