I do not understanding refusing to fact check your preferred candidate.

I do not understand taking a politician's word without question

Especially when she has so been evasive

Especially with hundreds of voices trying to warn you about something important

I do not get it 😔
We are trying to explain why Warren can't win.

Republicans are going to say everything we are saying, and then some.

Most voters don't "love" her and they are not going to be so gullible. They will listen to both sides.

If you care about winning, at least read our receipts.
Vetting is not "divisive"

Vetting is "attacking"

Vetting is "helping GOP" - that's ridiculous.

This is what primaries are for - discussing pros and cons and choosing the best candidate.

This is not time to be tribal.

Warren's weaknesses are a huge issue we cannot ignore.
Think of it this way:

More than half our party isn't buying it, especially our multicultural base, so why would moderates, undecideds, or low info voters?

They won't just take her word for it when GOP is saying the opposite and branding her a socialist.

Electability matters.
Hillary Clinton said single payer will never happen.

Barack Obama asked why we would start over when we ALREADY started over and are most of the way there with ACA.

Do you really believe Warren & Bernie over Hillary and Obama, who say the country is not ready?

Seriously?
Let's try this: What is it you don't believe?

That Warren's plan takes healthcare away?

That her plan raises taxes?

That coverage is determined by HHS, not Congress, so future Administrations will decide?

That the "Socialism" label matters, no matter how unfair?

(more)
Are these statements true or not? Yes or no?

Not looking for justifications. Don't say:

But "they get a new plan"

But "they save money other ways"

But "the bill says"

But "We'll just explain"

Are the statements below objectively true or false?
Another thing I don't understand:

"You're using GOP talking points, Sally!!!11!!!

What do you think Republicans will be saying?

What do you think the voters will hear?

The average voter isn't going to ignore facts like you do.

We have to be able to respond to their attacks
I think there's something to this.

Many of the people denying that Warren's plan raises taxes actually *want* to raise taxes.

To them it doesn't matter.

Does Sweden have our population? Our diversity? Do they have three branches of government controlled by the far right wing?

Bringing up other countries is a red herring.

Very few countries have plans like the one Warren/Bernie want.

"Honey"

And who cares what works in Sweden if we don't have a bill that can pass, and will drive voters away in the process?
