Now is a good time to re-up this one.
Medicare for All has always, at least in part, been a Trojan horse useful to Bernie as a means of funneling money to his campaign.
His campaign profits from the promotion of a slogan regardless of whether it ever means a thing.

I mean, think about it...
If I come out with Tacos for All and absolutely brand it as synonymous with me, I don’t even need to go sell the world on my candidacy.

Any new believer in Tacos for All automatically becomes a next-level purchaser of my candidacy.
It’s multi-level marketing.
And it leverages an issue people care greatly about.

I don’t doubt that Bernie truly believes Medicare for All is the best and/or only solution.
I’m just pointing out that his campaign uses it as a product atop a multilevel marketing strategy that drives a shitload of money into his campaign - and that creates an issue.
