this is not something we should be seeing out of the california dem party leadership, it's more appropriate for republicans

I believe that healthcare is a right for every single person in this country. I believe in Single-Payer Healthcare, and will work with our grassroots to make this an issue around which our entire party organizes. This is something I have lived and fought for my entire life, and it’s why I have the support of the United Nurses Associations of California and the National Union of Healthcare Workers.

Vice-Chair, California Democratic Party
Chair, Los Angeles County Democratic Party
LA Progressive – Published 1/30/2017
The Trump Administration’s brutal assault on healthcare has begun. His morally bankrupt and extremist partisan allies Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell are moving to ruthlessly implement a full repeal of the Affordable Care Act through Congress.
Democrats in Sacramento are determined to resist these efforts and protect the low cost insurance millions of Californians can get through Covered California plans.
But even as we fight the Trump Administration, we cannot miss the historic opportunity this moment presents us: enacting single-payer healthcare into law in California. Let’s take that step and make California a “healthcare sanctuary” state!

actually kind of funny is that the bernie-crew backed candidate also supported clinton last year

professional fundraiser who'd won a contested election once in his life ran for mayor on an uninteresting platform of tax cuts and business development, spent about as much money as his incumbent opponent, and lost anyway. the national party came in and endorsed him as part of a "unity tour", causing various interest groups to cry foul, and the resulting flailing drew attention away from his locally-focused platform and toward national wedge issues in a perfect demonstration of why the grassroots needs to work from the bottom up rather than the top down

those groups had no reason or cause to cry foul though, and twisted mello's positions to make him look like an anti-choice texas senator. even when mello's real positions came out, the noise over mello didn't die down until bernie specifically said "vote for ossoff". then it switched to bernie's a monster cause he didn't endorse fast enough

quote:

HARD TRUTH: I supported SB 562 before the bill was even assigned a number, as I laid out months ago in my op-ed, “Make California a Healthcare Sanctuary State.”
But let’s be real. An op-ed in election season isn’t enough.
HARD TRUTH: Both authors of SB 562, Senators Toni Atkins and Ricardo Lara, have endorsed my campaign for Chair because they know passing single-payer isn’t just an election season talking point for me. We need the experience, grit, and know-how to get this job done.
But let’s be real. The fight for single-payer didn’t start during this Chair’s race.
HARD TRUTH: I’ve been fighting to make universal single-payer healthcare available for DECADES. It’s the reason why I became politically engaged so many years ago, based on my experience as a registered nurse. I worked with then-Insurance Commissioner John Garamendi to pass universal healthcare which was then vetoed by Gov. Pete Wilson. I was in the foxhole with then-Senator Sheila Kuehl when Democrats passed single-payer TWICE, only to have Gov. Schwarzenegger veto it both times. And I was with then-Senator Mark Leno as he tried to make it happen, yet again.
But let’s be real. TALK IS CHEAP. Trust the single-payer fighters with the battle scars to prove it.
HARD TRUTH: Every single author of universal/single-payer healthcare legislation in our state’s history — John Garamendi, Sheila Kuehl, Mark Leno, Toni Atkins, and Ricardo Lara — are ALL supporting my campaign to lead our Party.
Let’s be real. They’re standing with me because I’ve stood with them over the years doing the real work to make single-payer a reality.
I hope you’ll join them because, with SB 562, single-payer is in reach. This is our chance to finish the job for all of those who’ve come so close in the past, and most importantly, for the millions of Californians who deserve affordable, high-quality healthcare.
Single-payer’s time is here!

but that still leaves them torpedoing mello's election cause bernie endorsed him. and perez going along with it. no matter how you slice it, it was a dumb move even if you try to remove the "attack bernie" angle from what happened. but attacking bernie was the whole point

besides, it wasn't naral that initiated the attacks, it was the WSJ

http://www.omaha.com/news/politics/...8bc68ea31e.html

quote:

Her criticism was part of the national backlash after a Thursday article in the Wall Street Journal that pointed out Mello’s opposition to abortion.

quote:

 Instead, on April 19, The Wall Street Journal ran a story noting that Mello, a practicing Catholic, is pro-life. The story also falsely claimed that Mello had co-sponsored a bill “requiring women to look at an ultrasound image of their fetus before receiving an abortion.” A similar error was made by The Washington Post, which claimed that Mello had “previously backed a bill requiring ultrasounds for women considering abortions,” and then again the following day by David Nir, political director of Daily Kos, who announced the site was withdrawing its endorsement of Mello—a move applauded by Ilyse Hogue, president of NARAL Pro-Choice America, who’d launched a 12-part Twitter storm linking to the WSJ article and accusing Sanders and Perez of kicking off their tour with the message “shame women; we’ll support u anyway.”

basically naral stuck their nose in after dems bought wholesale lies from the WSJ about one of their own candidates. and the reason dems didn't bother to take a jaundiced look at WSJ sourced claims was cause they made a guy bernie supported look bad

and when said spokeperson starts speaking out publicly against singlepayer, is that pragmatic? cause it seems to me like it would cloud bauman's pro-singlepayer message to have his spokesman tooling around telling everyone that singlepayer isn't achievable.

i mean, maybe i'm not familiar enough with this spokesperson thing, but i thought the idea as the public face of the party was to espouse the party's ideals in public, not your own.
