I'm sick of the market talk by the Democrats...

I like to think we're a society and not a market. When you talk about charter schools, you're talking about making our education a market.

When you're talking about insurance and healthcare you're talking about a market.

We want healthcare we want public education. Isn't that what we want?

A friggin' men! Right?

And, then, as if right on time...

my first google result of SB 526 :
http://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-alert/article1579...

The lede:

Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon (D) put the brakes on a sweeping plan to overhaul the health care market in California Friday, calling the bill “woefully incomplete.”

Health care and vital infrastructure are too important to be left to the mercy of the market. Good public policy is often a bad business plan.
The end.

This is the response of the CA Democratic Party leadership to those cheering, and then he whispers in RoseAnn's ear calling her a shit stirrer.

Clearly establishment Dems are determined to ride their 'status quo' bomb all the way to the ground, Dr. Strangelove style.

Sad, but predictable. Today's Democratic Party looks much more like the party of Barry Goldwater than the party of FDR.

Single-payer healthcare, when it was just last year that Hillary said:

That would make the Queen look foolish and the Establishment Democrats just can't have that, now can they? /s

Just nails it. I doubt that it even passes in CA, but as she says, shame on you, CA Dems, for not giving comprehensive health care a chance.

This is actually a warning. This is my unification speech which is a warning which is if you dismiss progressive values and reinforce the dynamic status quo, don't assume the activists in California and around the country are going to stay with the Democratic Party.

Millions of people are hurting. We've never had a moment like this. We all need to embrace SB 562 and if we don't embrace that, shame on us, because every death, every person suffering is your fault, Democrats. You've got the power, you've got the majorities - you can do this.

[SNIP]

Last word - I want the party unified, but we're not going to unify around the status quo. We're not going to unify around consensus about nothing. It's not about nothing! It's not about consensus for nothing or about nothing. Consensus for consensus sake is over! We've lost and we've lost and we've lost and we're going to win. We're going to win and we're going to move this movement - Berniecrats, nurses, and all the progressive Democrats - we're going to move this movement across the nation.

She's a badass! (And I mean that in a good way.)

The fact that a POS like Feinstein is tolerated at all, much less being the highest-ranking fed official in the state, is all you need to know about the CA DP.
