supported her plan we might not be here 25 years later having to improve upon ACA.

She could have said, "while I was trying to get something that could get through Congress, he was in his fantasy world pretending there was any chance to enact single payer at the time. Because of that, no one would touch healthcare legislation for over 15 years. People may have died for his irrational inflexibility." Instead, she rolled her eyes and said, "I don't know where he was."

she was implying that he was absent from the struggle - and immediately a vid was found disproving her

just like she implied he was absent from civil rights action - a vid and pics pop up showing she was wrong

Bernie has a long history for fighting for what he sees to be right

she needs to stop pretending he doesn't

she needs to change her strategy - this one is not working for her
