More evidence why Sanders is not the person for the nomination. He cannot unify the party

This is kinda been the crux of my support for Sanders. Because Democrats allowed for sweeping compromise while holding all the levers of government at the the time the ACA was watered down into a mass insurance company discount deal as opposed to a ture universal healthcare plan. Was it helpful yes. Did it accomplish its goal no. We keep walking into negotiations with the wolf as sheep hoping we can convince them to have chicken tonight instead of lamb. Lol
Our progressive roots as the Modern Democratic party should be at the foremost of all policy. People, labor, and environmental concerns. We are losing our way because its becoming about power without a focus on what we need the power for. Compromise is a tool to establish framework from where to build. The ACA as a framework was flawed because it allowed for a mandate of coverage as opposed to a foundational understanding as healthcare as a right.
Sanders doesn't have a book full of plans or the support of all the party, or the charisma but he has the one thing that has been missing form the party since the election of Bill Clinton. A policy focused on labor over wallstreet. Raising the minimum wage, true universal healthcare, and college education as a fundamental has high school. If Biden was to win the nomination I need him to accept that many supporters from the left need those causes championed and not with half measures but with good foundations to build on.
