Single payer isn’t at all far-left. It is bog-standard in first-world countries. Immigration— Reagan did amnesty. Also not far-left.

Try again?

re: #7 Absalom, Absalom, Obdicut

That’s really a matter of opinion on single payer.
Might some of those Blue Dogs agree with me on that? By far left on single payer I mean within our domestic political landscape. This is a congressional caucus not the State Dept. EPR set a long time-decades, right? He makes a good point in that many find the recent years proposals of the Dems as timid and over compromised. But the scale I answer to is decades not recently. Not just from the comment of EPR but the scale of time the Blue Dog statement seemingly refers to.

Oh and about that progressive caucus? I think that illustrates the point well enough. All the details are debatable like all things politics of course. So rather than a “try again” this is a clarification. “try again” seems terribly skeptical about a view that simply leans a bit, rather than the way out there tea party stuff.
