1) Single-payer health care is a good idea. 2) The most politically palatable way of achieving it is through a buy-in mechanism. 3) Total breakdown of trust in progressive politics leads to a perverse outcome where (2) is not-implausibly read as disagreement with (1). — PolitiTweet.org

I think a big problem in contemporary politics is that leftists greatly overrate *betrayal* relative to *objective difficulty* as an impediment to progress, but there’s also not zero betrayal so the breakdown of trust is partially warranted. — PolitiTweet.org
