(11,949 posts)I agree we need to focus on the economy and economic issues. Especially wealth inequality. And I think we win by promoting the right to health care not the right to buy insurance if we can afford it.
But we have to realize that the most difficult compromises are the ones we make with our own party as exhibited by the republicans dumpster fire over health care.
We may both support universal health care but may fight to the death over what shape it takes. No one loved the ACA but it was all that comprise allowed and because of it most Americans see health care as a right. The republicans just do not realize it yet. At least the pee party ones. Their Senators know it well.
Unfortunately we live in a polarized world and comprises is seen as bad.
