One of my good friends was named Božo. He was a kind, extremely gifted artisan who made the most incredible 12 string guitars on earth. He was originally from Novi Sad in Serbia, where that is a common first name. He passed away a couple of years ago, unfortunately, but he had exactly ZERO in common with Mr. Sanders!

62. Democrat John Conyers introduced his Medicare for All bill HR 676 for the first time in 2002.

Democratic representative Conyers introduced it in every session up to and including the 115th Congress. (It was re-introduced in this session as well.) Even BS was a co-sponsor (although not an original) of Conyers's ground-breaking legislation in 2002.

It's time to stop perpetuating false narratives.

Universal coverage has been a core Democratic Party value since 1992.

Democrats have introduced Medicare for All legislation (with robust co-sponsorship and support) in every session of Congress for the past 17 years.

It's a pity that politicians who stubbornly wanted it all "NOW, NOW, NOW" failed to support Democratic proposals back in 1993-1994.

We probably would have had universal coverage through a single payer system by now, just like we have a $15 an hour minimum wage and free state university tuition here in NYS under "incrementalist" Democratic governor Andrew Cuomo.

233. The legislation was well in the works long before BS was on the scene.

The bill was drafted in 2015 and Cuomo signed the legislation in April 2016. There was a three year phase-in period that was completed in NYC in 2018.

Damn those incrementalists!

And, even if that were not true, post hoc ergo propter hoc is fallacious reasoning at its most egregious. It appears that it takes actual hard work, negotiation, and compromise to actually get the big things done.

That's like saying, "Well, the people of Vermont still have a good minimum wage" even though it's not $15 an hour, and the governor who vetoed a raise was re-elected in November.

In NYS, our Democratic governor actually got it done, despite a divided legislature and the ridiculous accusations of "incrementalism".

I also know people who just started there who love it. Amazon is constantly expanding and they promote from within.

321. Ah, so your "evidence" is anecdotal and based on "multiple people"

with whom you are personally acquainted from Amazon's workforce of 500,000+, and their primary complaint concerning wages is that the new people are making too much money too quickly. Got it.

I have a problem with anyone who foments distrust of and disdain for a system of commerce while still maximizing their own personal profits by advertising, marketing, and distributing their products using that system.

is a clear statement written in standard English.

Those who decry the practices of a business entity run the risk of having their integrity questioned when they partner with that entity precisely because those very practices will make them the most money, in the shortest time, with the least effort.

Similarly, many people fit the description, including (but not limited to) anti-Amazon protestors who hold Amazon Prime accounts and high profile Amazon critics (Donald Trump among them) who peddle their wares via the retail giant in order to more fully line their pockets.

246. Because what Sanders did changed the discussion.

By making Medicare for all the central theme of his national campaign, and by demonstrating that voters were ready to support this sort of major reform, now almost all of the current candidates are promoting something very similar.

Prior to 2016 the current wisdom was that only incremental regulation of the private healthcare system was a viable platform.

272. It wasn't the theme of his national campaign. BS didn't have a senate version of Medicare for All

ready to introduce when Conyers introduced his house version for the 9th time in January 2017.

The last BS campaign theme primarily concerned the evils of both the millionaire class and established career politicians who talk a lot, make a lot of money for themselves, and get little to nothing done for the people who were unwise enough to trust them.

340. Medicare for all will be used to demonize us...consider polling shows that

when folks learn they won't get to keep workplace insurance, only 17% support it. A pubic option and improving the ACA is the way to win.

366. A bit late to the party.

The “wisdom” of party leaders of the 90s and up to the Sanders campaign of 2016 was that “Medicare for All” was too far left and no serious presidential campaign could run on it.

Now almost all the candidates are pushing it.

60. Ambivalent.

The entire cramped field has me getting very nervous that an internal blood bath is going to erupt and leave our candidate wounded and vulnerable to Trump's asinine campaign of name calling and BS.

I have only one concern in 2020 - defeating Donald Trump, period. The reason? If we do not, the SCOTUS will be 7-2 for a generation+ by 2024. The ONLY thing that matters in our primaries is determining who is the best candidate to defeat Trump. Nothing else is even close and yet I see the threads already attacking the same old purity / not good enough with <fill in subset of party here> nonsense.

If we do not recognize the criticality of this time, we will lose, period. We cannot let that happen.

I actually think he may be in for a bit of shock. An awful lot of his support was from people who felt like they didn't have alot of other choices and were being taken a bit for granted. That isn't going to be true this time. And it doesn't look like he'll be running just against and HRC type candidate. There will be several "lanes" as we call them today and his may be way more narrow than he realizes.

History has a cruel track record for candidates that want a second swing at the ball. I just hope he is prepared for that.

Even before he officially announced his nutbar supporters were working overtime on Twitter smearing Beto as a corporatist, Booker as a neoliberal, Warren as a Republican and Harris as a cop who isn't even black and a whore who slept her way into office...

So only God know how much worse the rhetoric will get now that he's officially in the race.

Worse than that are all the trolls and berniebots this will bring out. This country is not ready to go that far left!

Bernie running will only divide the democrats and make Trump a 2 term president, or Emperor for life!

223. If emotions ranging from "meh" to "disgusted" can be called a gamut

There is a tiny smattering of "delighted"s, but from a scan of the responses, I'd say the gamut is a fairly narrow range, all in the negative territory. The bern seems to have been extinguished, at least on this (perhaps anomalous) discussion forum. Seems like DU is just not that into him anymore.

225. I wasn't claiming that the majority are backing Bernie

I too get the impression that his support here at the DU is diminished compared to 2016. But there's still a substantial number of posters here who are either strongly in his camp or leaning toward more positive than negative. To dismiss it as a non-factor would be premature, I'd say.

227. Nervous.

If he is in the primary running as a Democrat and has no intention of an independent run it's fine by me. If his end game is a third party run if he loses the Democratic primary, then I'm scared to death. Anyone who runs as a third party candidate and is "leftish" will hand the White House to the orange slob for another 4 years (assuming he's not in prison). I doubt Bernie would do that, but we'll still have the Green Party and others to worry about. In any case, as for the Democratic primary, the more the merrier. It will shake out to a preferred candidate eventually and no one should be discouraged from running.

But his age really is a concern. I kind of prefer he stay in the Senate as much as I like him. And we have other progressive candidates this time.

319. Most definitely

Bernie is such a polarizing figure. You'd think he'd see that and step back for the good of the party, but he's not a member of the party, is he?

Some people have pointed out, rightly, I think, that Bernie's "radical" positions from 2016 are now mostly mainstream ideas. He put them on the agenda and deserves credit for that.

He also raised a big pile of money immediately after declaring his candidacy yesterday.

Despite that, he'll never be president, IMO.

His voice is important. Many of his good ideas have been adopted by other candidates.

I doesn't matter who gets the nomination. I will vote for the Democratic candidate no matter who it is.

He did not make Hillary lose. That is just pure bs.

People should stop infighting about this.

We need to really behind the candidate who wins the nomination. Period.
