I mean, what qualifies as "corporatist" to you guys boils down to whether or not they support

Praise for any takers on endorsing him, vilification for anyone else.
(Mix in some sexist snark or white condescension every so often

All I know is, I don't want an angry president who complains about
everything, I want one that actually gets things done.
Results over rhetoric.
Still voting for Bernie if he gets the nomination somehow.

Krugman still thinks single payer would be a good thing, he just knows it's not politically viable.
