When the country falls apart, what comes next you may like even less than what we have now. Especially under the rule of what might be Trump's cult. Only minus the constitution.

I thought we had pretty much already eliminated the constitution. <sigh>

Yeah, I think if the constitution was really being followed, we wouldn't be this bad off.

Sanders endorsed Biden. Now, we’ll see if he means it.

I'm sure Sanders would prefer to see Joe Biden elected President over Donald Trump.
The crucial question is whether or not the 10% or so of his insane supporters will care.
I think most of Bernie's supporters are pragmatic enough to vote for Joe Biden but there might be enough of the shrill, nut-jobs staying home to throw it to Trump.

I just hope he is able to sway Joe Biden to get on board with Medicare for all

I'm sure Joe would LIKE Medicare for all if it were practical. But is it? How much additional tax burden would that require? Is that something it is realistic both parties will get on board with?
That's pragmatism and realism.
There is going to have to be a cultural shift where most people feel that the moral imperative of universal healthcare is more important than their feeling that taxation is bad.
You can't force it. People need to WANT it.
