The problem with Medicare for all isn’t money, it is in its implementation. And damning Obama with faint praise is revisionist crap. Democrats have been fighting for years for our platform. Sometimes winning, sometimes not.

As far as the intelligence of Americans, 62 million of us voted for Trump, around half didn’t vote at all. This isn’t an actual reflection on intelligence, granted, but it’s certainly not a sign of giving two shits about the country or the people in it.
