I have my own ideas... but I'm curious to hear your thoughts.

1. Their Corporate donors would bitch slap them if they did a matching Medicare for All bill.

4. yes of course. Everyone knows that Bernie Sanders, Russ Feingold

5. Nobody called anyone a corporate whore.
The post said that they'd lose funding.

What do you reokon the reason they won't put forward a matching bill?
