I am still surprised no one has tried to really push the middle ground option of "yes lets get a public option now and then work on m4a after". Because it really is the realistic option.

1) This is Buttigieg's actual stance, though he doesn't want to do it himself and attacks trying to do so outright because he is an opportunist.

2) Warren actually updated her plan last week to do exactly this. Everyone hates it! Moderates are mad she didn't pivot and dump M4A, the more left group are mad because passing public option first and M4A second across multiple bills/plans will most likely make M4A much harder to pass conpared to Bernie's, which bundles the entire transition to make sure commitment is there. That said, her public option is still better than Buttigieg's and Biden's.
