My biggest issue with Ryan Knight is he widely inaccurate about how the process works.

And despite a ton of evidence they repeat their “Twitter burn” https://twitter.com/khivebidenbro/status/1288523509853908992
Democrats didn’t reject Medicare for All because of our “corporate donors”

Dems rejected it because its bleeding support the more information is known abt it

And

Logistically is more complicated than other universal plans
As Democrats we see the data we walk out on like walking on a frozen lake.

If we see a poll that validates our opinion. Its practice to ask for more dat to verify.

Got to be sure

Jon Stewart made fun of the approach as too focus group- but public support matters
A lot of the ppl like Ryan Knight and the Berner left will drop a stat in my mentions to try to win an argument

And I role my eyes because I read the entire poll not that snippet

Polls usually show a drop of support for M4All once terms are discussed
Elected officials live on public support.

Nancy Pelosi reiterated just recently with public support we can do almost anything without it almost nothing

So lying abt how deep public support is for something w/ ppl who live on it burns your credibility with them permanently
Now Democrats have taken unpopular positions and worked on the public campaign to make them popular

That is what Lyndon B Johnson meant by make me do it.

But first you have to recognize it is not as popular as you are saying.

Ryan’s entire schtick is Dems are defying voters
If Ryan and Berners won’t openly recognize the gapping holes in popularity Medicare for All has- they can’t work on flipping public perception

Elected elected officials who ran on M4All where more vulnerable than those who just ran on just simply fixing healthcare
