    Everyone would be appalled by any candidate campaigning against the idea of a fire department during a wildfire. Why isn't everyone equally appalled by candidates campaigning against Medicare for All during a pandemic?

    It is difficult to overstate how disturbing this is, when you think about it this way. A pandemic literally threatens millions of people, and a person running to lead the Democratic Party is actively campaigning against the plan to guarantee basic medical care to everyone.
    Joe Biden is running to be the nominee of the left-of-center opposition party, and he is campaigning against Medicare for All during a pandemic. Really take a moment to think about that.

    I talked to about how the primary is a clear choice: It's a grassroots-funded pushing a change agenda versus the establishment-backed promising billionaires "nothing will fundamentally change." This clip explains what it's really all about.

    This was a response to me saying that it’s troubling that a Democrat is campaigning against Medicare for All during a pandemic that threatens millions of human beings. What is wrong with this website?

    Really worth reading from : "And yet, every day that the coronavirus spreads and markets tank, the (supposed) electoral risk of nominating Sanders shrinks, while the policy rewards of his election grow."

    Joe Biden’s health care plan, on his website, plainly states that it will leave 10 million people uninsured. He won’t even commit to signing a plan that covers everyone.
    Joe Biden just told that as president he’d veto Medicare for All if it passed both houses and came to his desk

    During a global pandemic and an economic crisis, it would be better to have Medicare for All rather than “nothing will fundamentally change.”

    This is Biden’s response to critics of his NAFTA vote? Really? And he thinks he can go toe-to-toe with Trump on trade?
    "The Bernie Bros are here," Biden says as protesters interrupt his rally in Detroit. "Let them go, this is not a Trump rally," he adds. Chanting continues. "It's just a reflection of what's wrong with American politics,"…

    I’ll just say this: there are so many moving parts on any national campaign — what you see on Twitter is a glimpse of only a tiny piece of any national campaign.
    One thing I find really weird: Lots of accounts on this website assume that they fully understand the intricacies of how an entire national campaign is run, and the entirety of their assumptions are based on only reading…

    One thing I find really weird: Lots of accounts on this website assume that they fully understand the intricacies of how an entire national campaign is run, and the entirety of their assumptions are based on only reading tweets. It’s really strange and really presumptuous.

    WATCH: Joe Biden is not safe. Not safe for the planet. Not safe for our health. Not safe to run against Trump. Real safety is worth fighting for.

    To be clear, there are supporters of all candidates who can be uncivil & too harsh. But there's been a disinformation campaign to pretend Bernie supporters are disproportionately MORE harsh & uncivil than supporters of other campaigns - and this shows that claim is bullshit.

    Folks, real talk: we are now the edge of a global economic crisis. The last time this happened, the Biden wing of the Dem party handed trillions to the banks who created the crisis, did not prosecute, and let workers, students and homeowners pay the price. Do not do it again.

    Reminder: Trump proves that if a president’s priority is making sure "nothing will fundamentally change" for wealthy campaign donors, then everything will fundamentally change for the worse for everyone else. We need a nominee with a change agenda not a status quo agenda.
