There's a good reason people are expecting people here to call to primary good Dems. It's been happening.

That's for the people in Ohio to decide.

Is that what you think this is all about? Either we (those who favor pushing Medicare for All now) get what we want or we destroy the Democratic Party? How about your side give us a bit more credit.

While I'm at it, please stop with the purist crap. This isn't about being pure -- it's about taking and supporting a position that makes good sense to some of us right now. The timing is right for this discussion nationally and will only benefit the Democratic Party in the end in my view.
