Opinion | Sorry, Trump -- Kamala Harris is no Bernie Sanders

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

89% : "As someone who campaigned for Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., in 2020, I would love it if the candidate currently ahead in the polls was actually "much more" left-wing than Bernie.
55% : And we could actually put more money in the pockets of middle-income taxpayers who already have health insurance if we swept away all the premiums, copays and deductibles in favor of a modest tax increase to pay for Medicare for All.
54% : "Medicare for All" has always meant "single-payer" national health insurance.
49% : In other words, rather than high-income people having better care than everyone else and millions of Americans who aren't quite poor enough to qualify for Medicaid not having any insurance at all, everyone would get equal access to the same quality of health care.
48% : The Green New Deal resolution promised to do the opposite, "guaranteeing a job with a family-sustaining wage" for every American who wanted one.
46% : Sanders' signature policy proposal was "Medicare for All," which would eliminate the for-profit insurance industry and treat health care as a right.
44% : Many workers in industries like oil, gas and coal understandably worry that their jobs will be eliminated by a serious effort to transition to greener energy sources.
33% : As she awkwardly navigated the race for the Democratic nomination, seeking a lane somewhere between Sanders and Biden, she claimed that she still supported Medicare for All but that her "version" of it would preserve a role for the profit-seeking middlemen in the private insurance companies.
33% : They don't want Trump to return to the White House.
27% : She'd been a co-sponsor of Medicare for All in the Senate, for example, but on the campaign trail she tried to split the difference between Joe Biden and Sanders and ended up triangulating her position to the point of absurdity.
16% : Sadly, the picture painted by Trump and Musk is completely detached from reality.
