It's because bad dems don't want to win they just want to make their network of lobbyists and political consultants even richer.

just a reminder that the clinton campaign paid consultants a bunch of money to sit around and come up with attacking trump using the deplorables line and pepe the cartoon meme frog. i wonder why she lost with a 2:1 spend advantage.

i'm one of the few people at the local dem meetings talking about anything even resembling the far-left. the old guard are really resistant to it, and even want to give ground on social issues and its pretty frustrating

and it's not necessarily an abandonment of their own agency, in that they would rather let somebody else make the decision for them instead of making it for themselves. sometimes the fantasy is of being able to make an immediate decision without having to clear it with/wait on feedback from everyone else.

edit: sometimes people want to be the one that everybody changes their plans around, as opposed to the one changing their plans because somebody else decided something.

Democratic Sens. Joe Manchin III (W.Va.), Heidi Heitkamp (N.D.) and Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) — who are all up for reelection in states Trump won handily — have all been eager to speak out. They joined a protest-turned-photo-op on the Senate steps with Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) and other Democrats, with each senator holding a portrait of a constituent who had benefited from Medicaid.

Dems are always so goddamn passive. The resistance, not the revolution. Protecting social security, not expanding it. Showing beneficiaries of Medicaid, not showing uninsured victims of a terrible healthcare system.

The mere prospect of single payer, however, has elicited swift derision from some corners of the party, with Dick Gephardt, the former Democratic House minority leader, laughing off the idea at a health insurance conference earlier this month.

“Not in my lifetime,” scoffed Gephardt, when asked if the United States will ever adopt such a system.

Gephardt, who serves as a Democratic “superdelegate” responsible for choosing the party’s presidential nominee, was asked about the possibility of single payer at the Centene Corporation annual investor day conference at The Pierre, a ritzy five-star hotel in New York City.

“There is no way you could pass single payer in any intermediate future,” Gephardt declared. America, he added, has the “greatest health care system in the world, bar none.” And while single payer would provide universal coverage, there would be less quality and innovation without the “involvement of the private sector.”

Gephardt, notably, became a corporate lobbyist after serving as a populist Democratic lawmaker from Missouri. His clients have included Peabody Coal and Goldman Sachs, among others. He also serves on the board of Centene, receiving annual compensation of around $315,965 in cash and stock awards.
