Yeah, why is she doing that? Any insight?
Everyone was going at Biden, so it would difficult for her attack to stand out. Not many went for Harris, and the first who could do so, would be guaranteed to get some buzz if successful. As we seen tonight, it was definitely a good move on her part as we're still talking about her following the debate. Had she attacked Biden, she could have been lost in the shuffle among Booker, Harris, Blasio, and Gillibrand.

That Gabbard Mueller video is fairly damning, or "concerning" in the politi speak of Republicans regarding the presidents behavior.
But she also proposed legislation to stop any foreign entity meddling in our elections so if you don't support that after what supposedly happened in 2016 isn't that more 'concerning'.

I was reading his healthcare plan and surprised for a corporate dem

Slate’s Use of Your Data
Here’s the funny thing about all this: Delaney’s own health care proposal is not actually all that moderate, except in comparison to full-bore, Sanders-style single-payer. Under his plan, all Americans under 65 would enroll in a basic government insurance plan that more or less includes Obamacare’s essential health benefits (Medicaid would be merged into this program). Individuals and companies could then buy supplemental insurance that covered additional services. Medicare for seniors would remain untouched.

One thing you might notice about this approach is that, despite Delaney’s debate stage rhetoric, it would actually create a lot of upheaval in the insurance market, and require pretty much everybody with an employer-sponsored plan to change their coverage in some way. A second thing you might notice is that it is far to the left of what Hillary Clinton proposed in 2016. Her big move to appease progressives that year involved backing a public health insurance option for the Obamacare exchanges. Ambitious? Sure. But much less so than the bona fide national health care plan Delaney, an annoying middle-of-the-road squish, is envisioning.
The biggest issue with this and any public option is it allows private insurance to fukk around and weaken the system. Private for supplemental things is fine but any candidate who is in favor of universal care but keeps corporate skin in the game is selling :ducktales:

Single payer is gonna be a fight to pass but these moderate fukks are lying to people saying there way is stable and safe.
