Getting Medicare-for-all enacted, just as one policy among the many we'll need, will take THOUSANDS of people. From Congress, to the courts and lawyers, to bureaucrats and office workers, to field technicians, and even the voices of millions of voters.
THOUSANDS. Not one, THOUSANDS. But there are STILL those on the Left who insist on burning them all down, on burning EVERYTHING down, for one damn guy. And when he's left standing amongst the rubble and ruin, can he wave his wand and Make It So? NO.
Millions will die or be ruined while those people sabotage every attempt to actually DO THE DAMN WORK because they don't want it, they don't want it AT ALL, unless it's done by the sole hand of one man so that they can rub it in everybody else's face.
And that's what it comes down to. Millions are imperiled by selfish brats who give far more damn about their ego than results.
And you know what the irony is? Their guy, in spite of them, is probably actually way better for getting the work done than Biden...but he's probably going to lose because these people demonstrate to EVERYONE that it's impossible to work with them.
People who actually DO care about making these things happen, who DO have to do the work while the dead-enders sit at the table pounding their fists demandingly, are largely coming to conclusion that the other guy is the better one to work with.
And while I don't agree with that, I can sure as hell understand why, after 4 years of empowering magats who are just in it to swing their dicks at Dems, a lot of people don't want to empower a bunch of Bernie Bros who are just in it to swing their dicks at Progressives.
Sanders probably isn't going to win, but for the love of god, for the love of the desperate, terrified people who ACTUALLY NEED PROGRESS, can you fuckers PLEASE stop sabotaging YOUR OWN FUCKING ALLIES for the sake of your god damned egos.
