 Well, Joe Biden sent a very clear message to Bernie Sanders supporters. I hear you and I know that I have to earn your votes. So the day after Bernie Sanders decided to exit the 2020 race, he released two policy concessions that are specifically intended to woo us over. As Greg Sargent points out on Twitter, the Joe Biden campaign is set to make its first big overture to Bernie Sanders voters. Biden will roll out two policies, lower Medicare age to 60 and forgive student debt for low and middle income borrowers. Okay, so forgiving some student debt, that can be, I think, appealing to a lot of younger people. But in terms of lowering the Medicare age to 60, if that's all that you're willing to concede with regard to healthcare, he genuinely doesn't understand like he misunderstands the Bernie Sanders movement. That's the best that you're willing to do. Reduce the age of Medicare by five years. That's it. Let me ask you this. Who is Bernie Sanders demographic disproportionately? It's young people, right? So how would telling them that they can possibly get Medicare five years earlier excite them in any way, shape or form? I'm going to tell you the age that you should lower it to zero. Every single person should be allowed to get Medicare. It should be an automatic thing that we all get just by residing in the United States of America. The fact that he's offering us Medicaid at 60 is honestly insulting. I mean, because it shows like he's not willing to go any further. He won't even say Medicare at 50. Isn't that what Sherrod Brown even suggested? What do you expect? Like, do you honestly believe this is going to appeal to people? People are dying every single year, 68,000 Americans every year. This is according to a Yale study, not me. That's a peer reviewed study. You think that Medicare at 60 is going to appeal to us? And I'm assuming that that means really no changes to Medicare as it stands, right? Because when we talk about Medicare for all, what we're talking about in reality is expanding but also improving Medicare as it stands, because in its current shape, it's just not good enough. Even if you qualify for Medicare, you still usually have to buy supplemental insurance because it doesn't cover everything. So the appeal of Medicare for all is that we're not just expanding Medicare to everyone. We're improving it and it's comprehensive. You get everything, dental, vision. So to just say, you know what, here you go, Bernie supporters, here's Medicare at 60. It's honestly genuinely insulting. If he thinks that this is going to win over anyone, it's not. How does this help a 20 year old? For someone who's 27 and they no longer can stay on their parents' plan. How does this help them? It doesn't help them. So this tells me that Joe Biden isn't actually serious about winning over Bernie Sanders supporters. And here's the thing. I don't want to construct this false reality that Joe Biden has to win over Bernie Sanders supporters in order to win because I think that the real obstacle for him is exciting that Democratic Party voters, non-voters enough so that way they come out and vote for him. We know there's a gigantic enthusiasm gap between him and Donald Trump. So you can't just offer these milk toast solutions and expect people who haven't voted in decades to come out and suddenly support you. Medicare at 60 isn't going to do anything to win back those voters. If you're serious about winning and you genuinely really, really want to win, you have to do better than this. Otherwise Trump will get another four years and that means the Supreme Court will be filled by Donald Trump. He's going to get one to two more appointments and we're looking at a seven to eight conservative majority. We'd be lucky to have what like one liberal on the Supreme Court, two. He doesn't get it. This should scare every single centrist Democrat currently. He does not get it. So log off of Twitter, log off of Twitter, stop brow-beating Bernie supporters and immediately start phone banking for Joe Biden. If you are serious about defeating Donald Trump, you're not going to convince Bernie supporters and Joe Biden isn't going to convince anyone with this. So you have to put in the extra time and effort to help him win because he's not going to do this himself. If he wins, it'll be because he's been dragged across the finish line by Obama and Bernie. This is, I don't know what to say, what an embarrassment, Medicare at 60? Fuck outta here.
