For a start, I'd like organized labor to sign onto single-payer and throw serious resources into it. Finance ballot provisions, extend or withhold endorsements (and cash), staff phone banks, mobilize the membership, etc. There's no other institution in US society that could make as much of a difference as a mobilized union movement.

Oh, and somehwere along the way, I'd like Nathan to come to his senses. He's too talented to be arguing such nonsense.
