Now the effective slogan is "not as bad as the GOP". Hardly inspiring.

The red-baiting is also to be expected. I have received a few comments here accusing me of being far left and extreme. I take those comments as praise and encouragement.

But it is sad to read the frequent posts about the impossibility of single payer from some posters. They ignore the fact that the US system does not work, and single payer does.
