Precisely. Biden's position on Marijuana being a gateway drug was a flashback to the Nixon era. No other Democratic candidates have made strong or compelling arguments other than "Medicare-for-All"
Well, only Bernie has been pushing for M4A; but it's actually ridiculously easy to argue for a Single/Multi-Payer System since we have examples of it being a benefit in every other Country (besides the UK tho the NHS used to be the Best Health Care System before Tony Blair and David Cameron raped it to death)
Warren has also picked up that torch, fiercely advocating for M4A. Nationalizing healthcare seems fatally flawed by the current price gouging in the system. That needs to be corrected before such a proposal could even occur.
Besides, it would just be the ACA Pt. 2 - If you don't have a mandatory buy-in, the system can't sustain without govt funding, similar to the current NHS crisis.
Sadly, I don't even acknowledge the polls. DNC ultimately selects the primary candidate, not popular vote. They're going to back Biden, and that's going to have consequences.
Buttigieg is rising as he's one of the well-spoken candidates not to platform based on sweeping changes that could only be implemented via Executive Order.
True, but it's better than Biden acting like he's from the 70s. He's the best hope the DNC has at this point - with Bernie and Warren being solid contenders if they abandon major reforms.
Regardless, Buttigieg would only be nominated as primary if impeachment goes to trial, Biden gets called as a witness to testify, and the public backlash marks him as a failed candidate.
