Sanders single-payer litmus test alarms Dems

[mcmikk]

On one hand, I support single payer and I support doing this in safe Democratic districts, but in red districts and competitive districts in general, Democrats will need Blue Dogs/moderates if they want to win back Congress. And most places where a Blue Dog/moderate will be needed to win Sanders's support won't matter anyway.

Seriously though, there should be no litmus test for democrats outside of a sure vote against Obamacare repeal. If democrats held majorities in both houses of congress than maybe it'd be something to consider but not when every seat is important and damaging incumbents is unhelpful.
