Progressive intellectuals **deliberately encouraged** the term "Medicare-for-All" to be applied to a broad range of proposals, to build consensus and shift the Overton window. For some, like @NationalNurses, it meant a Sanders-style plan. For some, it meant a public option. — PolitiTweet.org

@NateSilver538 Might want to check in with @NationalNurses on that one. They've been pretty clear since the beginning.

Also! I think it's fair to ask about Warren's lack of endorsements. It's not a huge crisis for her. But it's a bit glaring given that she has a lot of momentum in all other respects. My read is that parts of the party are still interested in a non-Biden/Bernie/Warren alternative. https://t.co/GRLNST3eXX — PolitiTweet.org

Moral of the story: if you're a Democratic politician, don't sign on for broad conceptional frameworks like "Green New Deal" on the premise that the details don't matter and will be filled in later. Until they mean *specific* things, these terms are a potential bait-and-switch. — PolitiTweet.org
