"The nation may absorb a new wave of medical bankruptcies before any economic recovery starts...

Most voters are either experiencing a Kafka-esque quest for coverage or know someone who is. COVID-19 has changed the game."

2/ "In the United States, the ridiculously complex Rube Goldberg-like machines to get a simple check to struggling citizens or loans out to small businesses, laundered through banks that are mucking up the process, are a disaster."

3/ "To be sure, Bernie Sanders as the 46th president of the United States wouldn’t have solved these problems overnight, even if a November political landslide magically washed away the destructive obstructionism of Mitch McConnell for good."

4/ "Bernie Sanders was always going to be Bernie Sanders, and Bernie Sanders was always going to lose. But what about his ideas now that we really need them?"

5/ "Some of Sanders’ congressional colleagues — most notably Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who arguably ran an even better campaign for president, and got a rawer deal — are showing true leadership in pushing for even more aggressive, more people-friendly economic stimulus"

6/ "Now that Biden on Nov ballot is inevitable, it’s time to focus on 1 of his strengths. The former VP is less of an ideologue & more of a survivor who feels the winds of change (like, for example, when he was quicker to embrace gay marriage than Obama), and reacts accordingly"

7/ "Biden has adopted Warren’s bankruptcy plan ...expanded his proposal for free public higher education, and now — in a seeming nod to Sanders — says he would lower the Medicare enrollment age to 60, potentially insuring millions more"

8/ "Maybe, just maybe, the stupid people aren’t so much millennials & Gen Zs who may or may not vote but any Dems who think mocking them is better strategy than listening to their very real, valid concerns about climate change, crushing student debt & wider affordability crisis"

9/ "It’s a stark choice between Biden and Trump, but it’s also a stark choice between fixing what’s wrong in this country — so painfully exposed by the coronavirus — and the rising alternatives of utter chaos and collapse."

10/ “Not me. Us" feels like it means even more now. It’s going to take a village --[including] everyday folks like, well, us — to get immediate coronavirus relief to more people and to make sure that a Biden presidency becomes a second New Deal for Americans."
