Yeah, I can't tell you how refreshing it is to disagree with a reasonable person for a change.
Go Warren!

anyways, the media & Nate silver types are all in the tank for Warren. I hope Sander prevails, but none of the professional class wants anything to do with him. It’ll come down to the inroads he makes with unions and working people. The most common employer of his voters is Walmart; nurses and teachers are not far behind.

I'm not sure I agree with this, her history of supporting single payer goes back to 2008 at least, although I do agree that Bernie is primarily responsible for moving the conversation leftward when it comes to Healthcare.

she doesn’t even explicitly support single-payer now. Go look on her website. Google “warren public option” and you’ll see more people critiquing this

the term single payer isn’t there. You realize that, yeah? If you’re missing out on the nuance, public option means everyone gets covered (technically); but the bureaucracy of administering multiple health care insurances is kept, meaning health care costs to the country continue to balloon. It’s a bad idea.

I feel like you're arguing semantics here. Medicare for all is a single payer proposal.
You want to see some funny ****?

Imagine for a moment what I think is the most likely scenario for either Warren's or Bernie's healthcare plan moving through congress (assuming they have a non McConnell controlled Senate of course).
They don't have the votes to pass a Medicare for All bill that completely does away with private insurance. Which one of these candidates seems most willing to compromise on this to get a public option passed?
To me it's pretty clearly Warren. It would be kind of funny to see die hard Bernie supporter's heads explode if he did end up signing a "watered down" M4All though.

You cant expect people to actually know the difference between Warren and Sanders because mainstream media has been doing their darnedest to paint Warren as a more "electable" Sanders.
