Every day it becomes more and more obvious that
A) The Republicans desperately, desperately, desperately wanted to run against Bernie Sanders.
B) The left-wing folks who have taken standard Democratic Party policies and labeled them as "socialism" have done harm to the party. The extent of that harm remains to be seen.
It's infuriating that after Biden spent the entire primary enduring withering attacks from Sanders/Warren over his refusal to adopt the policies they had labeled as "socialism", now many people believe that he's one of them and a socialist. The entire point of the Biden candidacy was that he was a way for the party to reject the "socialism" of Bernie Sanders.
Stop calling universal health care "socialism." You are playing right into Republicans' hands.
Here we go again, Democrats should let Republican behavior dictate what they say and do. This is why we have Trump and why this country is in the sh**tter because Republicans have been calling Dems communists and socialists for decades. And guess what the end result is? It's not driving people away from the Dems because MUH SOCIALISM (the perception of being too centrist, on the other hand) but increasing favorable views on socialism.
Stop the pearl clutching over this because this whining is exactly what's allowed the GOP to control the narrative.
Yeah, I mean...if he honestly thinks the reason we don't have UHC is because of Republicans...lol
You believe
Democrats are the reason we don't have universal healthcare?
