Government funding on healthcare (federal, state & local) = $2.3 trillion a year
We estimate another $773 billion a year is needed in revenue to fully fund #MedicareforAll
The options laid out by Sen Sanders last night will more than cover this amount
A lot of my opponents like to say I can't pay for my agenda to help the working people of this country. They're dead wrong. Here's how: https://t.co/DtFi6S0u9v
@Broadsword_6@cmclymer What rules do you speak of? The rules of the convention itself are created by the DNC rules committee. And of course - whoever has the plurality should and must win or else it has the optics of (and is) subverting democracy. Hence the alienation I keep alluding to
@Broadsword_6@cmclymer ^ according the Morning Consult poll which has the lowest MOE and largest sample size. All I’m trying to say is that people will feel cheated if this happens - do you blame them? Beating Trump is obviously of utmost concern, but people will definitely feel cheated if it happens
@Broadsword_6@cmclymer I understand that type of thinking but it’s not how people choose their candidates. You’d think Elizabeth would share a majority of her voters with Bernie based on ideology but she shares them with Pete and Amy. Most of Biden’s 2nd choice is Bernie.
@cmclymer To be blocked by OP over wanting a civil discussion about vision over smears is exactly why we are disenfranchised/want a revolution. If the nomination is taken away from him and he is close to a majority, why should we have faith in the establishment who also rigged 2016?
@cmclymer I find it much more divisive that the rest of the candidates would rather overturn the will of the people if Bernie has a plurality of the vote/delegates. Heck, it’s Bloomberg’s main strategy right now.
‘But Hillary won the popular vote’ is nothing but a distant memory.
@cmclymer As a Sanders supporter, it’s just very antagonising and demotivating to the progressive movement when someone like Elizabeth calls herself the unity candidate and attacks Bernie for being too loud and a sexist by implication. Debating policy is much more welcome than smears.
