Perhaps you've heard of Blue Nation Review. It claimed to be the:

[M]edia platform Democrats trust. With a community over one million strong, we challenge conventional wisdom, cut through talking points, and provide actionable analysis of pivotal social and political events.

In August, 2016 it morphed into ShareBlue Media. Here's how its wikipedia page describes it:

Shareblue Media, formerly known as Blue Nation Review or Shareblue, is an American progressive news website owned by the journalist and political activist David Brock. Shareblue is within a consortium of political groups in Democratic strategist David Brock's network that will raise a roughly $40 million budget to oppose President Donald Trump's policies.

One would think that a progressive media site would be writing story after story about single payer health care since roughly two thirds of Democrats support it with only 18% opposed. Yet, after searching both the BNR and ShareBlue sites, I found only one story that spoke favorably about universal healthcare, dated February 16, 2015: Prescription From Australia: Universal Health Care Works. It's probably not a coincidence that this article pre-dates Hillary Clinton's announcement of her campaign for the presidency.

Indeed, if you search the ShareBlue and BNR websites using the terms "health care" and "healthcare" what you'll find is either articles praising Hillary Clinton, bashing Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump, or glorifying Obamacare, the health care reform we got after President Obama reneged on Candidate Obama's pledge to give America single payer healthcare. Clearly, ShareBlue represents the views of the neoliberal elite "New Democrats" who are hold all the levers of power in the Democratic Party.

So it shouldn't come as a surprise that though most Democrats support Bernie Sanders' bill intorduced in the Senate for a single payer system he calls Medicare For All, most elected Dems still do not fully support what most Democrats want from them. Here's how an article in The Hill in September, 2017

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) introduced a “Medicare for all” bill earlier this year to much acclaim from the left.

But the bill has no chance of passing the GOP-controlled Congress and was greeted coolly by Democratic leadership and swing-state Democrats running for reelection in 2018.

And her is how Politico in described its poll results(taken at the same time as the one discussed in The Hill) showing that roughly half of all Americans support Single Payer healthcare:

Some Democratic leaders think single-payer goes further than voters might want, but a new POLITICO/Morning Consult poll shows the proposal is fairly popular — at least in principle.

Nearly half of voters, 49 percent, say they support “a single-payer health care system, where all Americans would get their health insurance from one government plan” — greater than the 35 percent who oppose such a plan. Seventeen percent of voters have no opinion. Two-thirds of Democratic voters support single-payer, while 18 percent oppose it.

Support among Democratic voters has jumped since the last POLITICO/Morning Consult poll to test a single-payer plan, said Kyle Dropp, co-founder and chief research officer of Morning Consult.

“The surge of support for single-payer health care among Democrats is striking,” Dropp said. “In April, 54 percent of Democrats supported the notion. Just five months later and that support has risen to 67 percent.”

Yes, "in principle" 67% of Democrats want Medicare For All. In fact, Democrats in elected office, except for those with aspirations to run for the Presidency in 2020, refuse to back Sanders' bill. And they wonder why the Democratic Party is held in such low esteem by the American public.

Right now, I suspect that "Generic Democrats" will run against the Republicans in the 2018 midterms on two issues: (1) Trump and GOP is Evil and (2) the GOP tax bill that Trump signed into law. Perhaps a handful of more progressive candidates will run on providing America with single payer healthcare, but I suspect they will be in the minority. And with Hillary "Single Payer will never, ever happen" Clinton planning to campaign for the generic Dem candidates, I don't see a good end result for their party.

Maybe that the way they like it, but for the rest of us it looks more and more like the time for a new third party with an agenda along the lines of the ever increasing Democratic Socialists groups. I for one, would welcome an American socialist party.
