This week began with the release of a report titled “Deciding to Win,” claiming to light the way “toward a common sense renewal of the Democratic Party.”

But the first mention of healthcare is so far from reality that the authors might have more accurately titled their report “Deciding to Lie.” The report declares that Medicare for All is in the category of “unpopular economic policies.” The claim is false. But it’s in sync with the corporate sensibilities and wishful thinking of party operatives like James Carville, whose praise of the document appears on its first page.

Medicare for all is actually so popular that even most conservatives want it and think it's a good idea.

Christ, how does one claim this BS while simultaneously using healthcare costs as the basis for their budget impasse? The disconnect is unreal!!

Is that the Overton Window I hear swiftly dashing to the right?
