Progressives Support Shoring Up ACA Before Tackling Medicare For All
snip//
Im happy to support any provision that strengthens the ACA and plug some of the gaps that were seeing, particularly as its under assault by the president, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) told HuffPost on Wednesday. I think its part of a longer-term vision, at least for me, towards guaranteeing ― truly guaranteeing ― health care for all Americans.
Ocasio-Cortez said she understood prioritizing fixes to the Affordable Care Act. Because we have a Republican Senate, a Republican president, and so the things that we have the ability to pass right now are pretty narrow, she said, though she added she wanted hearings on Medicare for All and didnt think single-payer solutions had been given enough attention from the Democratic caucus yet.

Yeah, Not a uniter..
More divisive actions coming from him.
Joe Biden is more of an Inclusive leader.. that's what we need. Those candidates who don't make it their mission to divide us.

No, Beto O'Rourke is Not
".. mostly living in the afterglow of his Senate Campaign."
He's building on his experience of running a state wide campaign in Texas and coming within less than 3% points of winning.
How the race between Ted Cruz and Beto O'Rourke became the closest in Texas in 40 years
That was the reaction back in late 2016 from former Houston Mayor Annise Parker when she first heard that a sophomore Democratic congressman from El Paso named Beto ORourke was mulling a challenge to U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas. Parker, like most other Texans, had absolutely no clue who ORourke was, or why she should take seriously his potential entry into a race that many Democrats viewed as a suicide mission.
Almost exactly two years later, O'Rourke fell roughly 220,000 votes short out of 8.3 million of unseating Cruz, closer to winning a statewide office than any Texas Democrat in a generation. The strength of his candidacy helped Texas Democrats pick up two U.S. House seats, two state Senate seats and a dozen state House seats

Elizabeth is her own person.
I don't even think of BS when I look at her qualifications.

Well BS said No.. so that
must be right.
Not that everyone who is against strengthening ACA listens to him.. maybe it's just a coincidence.
But, AOC says "Yes"! Ha!
Mahalo for the link, lapucelle!

I don't want anyone who
tears down others to make themselves look better.
Or anyone who thinks their Ego is more important than our Planet.
I want a President who is inclusive, smart, courageous, and doesn't hire 3rd party "attack dogs" to divide our party.

Second, a lot of Bernie Sanders supporters werent big fans of Clinton. So Stein campaigning on the idea that Clinton and Trump were similar made it harder for Clinton to win over those voters even if Sanders voters didnt vote for Stein, they may have stayed home out of disgust.
