i guess we could learn from bernie on messaging..
So, guess who is on all in with ari melber taking a victory lap about the health care bill demise, yeap Bernie. He is much better at hammering a message than our democratic leaders. As far as I could see, the gop efforts were largely twarthed by the grass root organizations who mobilized heavily. I did not see Bernie there at the forefront any more than schumer or others.
= new reply since forum marked as read
The word "fewest" comes up a lot -- not a lot of bills passed. Interesting. He's not asked about his record much, either.
I'm going to look more. You have the most interesting resources, lapucelle. 
note-it's a govtrack site
unFUCKINGbelievable. 
The video proves that's not the case at all.
are accusing him of.
This place.....smh 
Things that make you go 
Every clip I've seen shows Bernie thanking the PEOPLE who stood up to the GOP but they see him "hoarding the glory".
It makes no sense.
So Bernie didn't take all the credit or "hoard" it for himself like others claimed.
Thanks for proving them wrong.
And the video clearly proves that's not true.
Thankfully we were able to sea beyond the spin.
Who should we believe, the claim or the video that proves it's false?
Can you point out the part of my post where I said any of that?
Here's my post again :
"No he didn't, she was talking about Trump's accusations of obstructionism. He laughed and said that they could blame him.
So, nice try but the claim that he "hoarded the glory" for himself is obviously false."
***
I don't see anything about "stopping the healthcare bill was bad? Most voters are happy? Only the GOP think that way!
Why do you accept what Trump says at face value? "
What a strange interpretation of my post, it has nothing at all to do with what I said. So where did you get that from?
in the clip you posted.
People can always see/hear what they want to believe which is why I dislike the short clips corporate media plays and that are posted on social media.
I always prefer to watch the entire interview and then form a conclusion.
Judy Woodruff asked a follow up question of him about Trump blaming Dems for the defeat, he included himself as a Dem and took responsibility/credit in the defeat of this bill. He has worked hard visiting various states over several weekends and has had the same message for decades.
He continues to get the message out that we need a NHC system, not a bad thing IMHO.
It's right there for all of us to see yet they keep saying he didn't for some reason, as if saying it over and over again will magically make it true.
Repeat after me:
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Beetlejuice!
of anyone can lead us to a misguided conclusion.
Thank you, Bernie has been advocating single payer, universal health care for decades. He's not campaigning, he's focusing on rallying opposition to the GOP plan and reminding people the fight isn't over.
If we use that 'logic' then all of our outspoken senators are "campaigning" and not fighting Trump.
Seems like an attempt to dismiss the hard work they're doing.
That video proves Bernie didn't take the credit for any of it so the claim that he did and "hoarded the glory" is demonstrably false.
Bernie isn't addressing legislators, he's speaking directly to the public. That's why he thanked the people who rallied and encouraged them to keep fighting.
But I guess he's not supposed to talk about the defeat because it upsets some folks.
Thank you Bernie, for never giving up on this issue. A majority of Democratic congressmen recently cosponsored the Medicare For All bill, so it's no longer some socialist pipe dream from the fringe left.
That's what progressives do, they keep trying to make progress no matter how much opposition they face.
From Pew:
"Among Democrats, 52% now say health insurance should be provided through a single national insurance system run by the government, while fewer (31%) say it should be provided through a mix of private companies and government programs. The share of Democrats supporting a single national program to provide health insurance has increased 9 percentage points since January and 19 points since 2014.
Nearly two-thirds of liberal Democrats (64%) now support a single-payer health insurance system, up 13 percentage points since January. Conservative and moderate Democrats remain about evenly divided: 38% prefer that health insurance continue to be provided by a mix of private insurance companies and government programs, while 42% favor a single-payer approach.
Overall, support for a single-payer health insurance system is much greater among younger adults than older people. Two-thirds of adults younger than 30 (67%) say the government has a responsibility to provide health coverage for all, with 45% saying coverage should be provided through a single national program."

And you're welcome for the video!
ten years ago over 60% of the population in polls were in favor of a national system.
Unless elected officials in our party start Advancing the issue, and people keep pressuring them, it will be a distant dream. All we here are excuses from the Dem leaders 
We need to do better, with HC and education if we want to compete in a global society.
