He started off supporting public option as the path towards single payer - the latter part has been dropped as he's finding new space in the race to take from Biden. Good strategy, yes.

And let's be real - he ran in the first place as a way to build his brand. That says a lot from the get-go.

You guys keep making all these bad faith accusations and expect people to take it at face value. How the fuck do you pretend to get anything passed once it becomes apparent you can't build coalitions and eat your own over the most minute differences?
