Follow ups!
I take that as a no to join as a co-sponsor? :( I feel that line of first defending Obamacare (which is fantastic, but flawed!) comes from the leadership as it's a line commonly hit by all congressional Ds. Why not take the lead on this? 81% of Dems support it, 58% of public do. So what if it can't be passed; this is what the people support and in my eyes can help to repair the Party image and give the grassroots energy (a win! which are few and far between, especially to those of us on the left of the party) to truly resist trump.
Regarding unpopular parties, do you believe that the image that neither party truly represents the people plays into that unpopularity? Senator Sanders was able to speak to the individual and that is why his campaign flourished. He stood for all of us, not corporations/big money interests. How can we combat the popularity issue in your eyes (ie, ensure Dems turn out)?
Also a new question: do you consider yourself progressive? Liberal? Is there a difference to you?

JARED!! So happy to have you as my representative. I know you support the concept of single payer nationally, will you join the current bill as a cosponsor?
Keep up the good work!
I also can't wait to see you in April once the house is in recess!
Second question: in your opinion why is the democratic leadership (and Democratic party as a whole) so unpopular?
Third: do you still play LoL?
