In reply to the discussion: Do you buy into the single payer fantasy of Sanders? [View all]Old DU member here but constant reader. As the primaries have been heating up this forum has annoyed the hell out of me. The majority of Democrats, Liberals were pushing for some form of single payer. The now president ran exclusively on giving the public an option. For all you so called Democrats that are calling Sanders ideas fantasy or pie in the sky principle what is wrong with you seriously?
It's no wonder why businesses are usually Republican supporters because all these water knee Democrats fail negotiation 101. If you want to sell a house for a million you start at +$1.5 not $1 million. Barak at every turn negotiated from the right. He in a way started the price at $750k. This is what it sounds like on this forum.
The political system took a hard shift to the right incrementalism wont work. Democrats need heavy movers and shakers not feathers.
