This week began with the release of a report titled “Deciding to Win,” claiming to light the way “toward a common sense renewal of the Democratic Party.”

But the first mention of healthcare is so far from reality that the authors might have more accurately titled their report “Deciding to Lie.” The report declares that Medicare for All is in the category of “unpopular economic policies.” The claim is false. But it’s in sync with the corporate sensibilities and wishful thinking of party operatives like James Carville, whose praise of the document appears on its first page.

sure, healthcare is an unpopular topic right now.

that has a lot to do with the fact that Americans are being AMBUSHED by DHS, FBI, BPA, ICE, and local police on their streets and in their homes.

yeah, when my freedom to fucking exist is at risk, my long-term health takes the backseat.

Just when you think AIPAC Shakur and Schumer can’t figure out a way to lose elections any harder.
