(20,450 posts)Americans want single payer when asked the right questions in the right way. But when it all boils down to it, Americans continue to elect people who do not reflect those views. Again, it's easier to pontificate the reasons why, but it is what it is. We didn't have the votes for single payer or for public option. We never did. Our goal is to elect progressives to office who support single payer and reflect the will of the people and what we want. As long as we continue on with Dr. Dean's 50 State Strategy, we'll get all kinds of Democrats in office, many of whom will not be progressive. DU doesn't like to hear this truth, but it is the truth! As must as we love Dean, his 50 State Strategy gave us plenty of Blue Dog Democrats who, quite frankly, gave us almost as much trouble as the Republicans did.
