Sanders/Warren/Merkely should co-sponsor the medicare at 55 bill. Better than what we have currently and would help unite the party.
Medicare for Boomers < Medicare for All though.
This.
Also, I think it's very hypoctiyical for Sanders to run as an independent again. The Democratic party clearly embraced him and many of hid views, with so many Democrats notably supporting single-payer healthcare. Let him join them if he wants to have his influence.
The Democratic party told progressives to go f**k themselves.
By embracing many of their positions, but not absolutely succumbing to everything and purging everyone who disagrees? How cruel.
89% of Senate Democrats just voted for a large increase to the military and there was crickets from the people who criticized Bernie's ideas for being too expensive.
Yes, not all Democrats are 100% Bernie clones. It still doesn't change the fact that he's way in the Democratic mainstream and running again as an independent, while still wanting to have strong influence in the party, is imo trying to eat the cake and keep it whole.
