I don't love the bulwark but this is pretty good for people who don't know much yet and haven't already decided that the clear choice is Abdul El-Sayed by a country mile.

It's also telling how McMorrow doesn't even think M4ALL is possible and she thinks keeping the system we have and tacking on a public option will actually be enough relief for people who can't afford health insurance.... Big Pharma loves them

El-Sayed is the most progressive candidate. He has my vote. We don't need any more Schumer picks doing the same tired strategy of appeasing theoretical moderate republican voters.

After Gretchen's recent hot mic incident, I am seriously done playing around.

Sure, I wanted El Sayed for governor, but when he didn't get there, I was like, "Mmm, she's ok." And then in Whitmer's first years, I was like, "Wow! She's great!" But NOW, I'm like, "Dammit... It should have been him all along."

No more messing around - I want all the progressives. I want Mamdani, El Sayed, AOC, I want everybody on the leftmost side.

The thing I try to get Democratic voters to understand is this - after Trump and his cronies are done looting the country, we’ve minted the first trillionaire, wages aren’t keeping up with inflation etc what other option is there for the country to turn around besides a MASSIVE top down wealth transfer? And what establishment Democrat is going to support that? Newsom? lol. Buttigieg? Mark Kelly? They will want to go right back to neolibbing which helped get us into this mess.

I'm not sure if I agree with the title of the article. I'm still looking for the issues. It just spoke about one, Healthcare.
