Not at all, Bob. You can go on loving that "something wonderful that covers everybody and is way cheaper". You're living proof there's a market for that BS - and you sure as hell dont demand more from your leadership.
You're in the right party.
PS - today is probably not a good day for your team to be tossing around Soviet-esque hyperbole.
You are the one saying people "have no business critiquing her." Silence your oponents. That IS the democrat party, and you fit right in.

What I like about her is her courage to offer specifics so people like DonDeigo and (more importantly) her constituents can make an informed decision about what she stands for.
For example - her healthcare plan is not "something wonderful thats going to be way cheaper and cover everybody". Instead she lets you know plain and simple that she supports government run single payer insurance that is free of the corrupting variables that dominate our current system...and it will be paid for with your tax dollars. You dont have to like it. But at least its an honest answer to a very real issue. Until Republicans can show the courage to do the same they have no business critiquing people like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
DonDiego thanks PJ Stroh for his recognition of obligations not applicable to Ms. Ocasio-Cortez and poor old DonDiego. Ms. Ocasio-Cortez is, indeed, unlikely to make DonDiego happy, and DonDiego is unlikely to agree with her.
However, DonDiego must register his objection to PJ Stroh's directive that he cannot critique Ms. Ocasio-Cortez's healthcare plan.
DonDiego has purchased health insurance since his first employment and maintains it voluntarily to this day. Nowadays, that insurance combined with [i]compulsory[/i] Medicare coverage covers poor old DonDiego's medical expenses quite well.
DonDiego would rather not pay for Ms. Ocasio-Cortez's undoubtedly compulsory plan.
Oh, by the way, . . . for those readers too young to know, DonDiego's physician's medical goup does not accept new patients who are covered only by Medicare, . . . another unpleasant fact-of-life with regard to Government programs.
[i]n.b.[/i] DonDiego would not have purchased Medicare if it were not compusory, but he paid for it during his working life, so now he is using it. DonDiego thanks all taxpaying citizens.
That's right, Bob. You dont have any business critiquing her. Anyone who points to an empty box looks foolish complaining about someone with a real solution.
But thats not to say you cant do it. Its perfectly legal for you to do things that are not your business. Maybe a better way to say it is that nobody has any business listening to Republicans cry about real solutions while offering none of their own. Is that more pallatable for you ?
"about someone with a real solution." --- Are you delirious? Solution?
I miss the day when even Liberals expected the able bodied to take care of themselves.

You mean like when liberals supported the individual mandate? Republicans have proved they'd rather let the deficit pay for able bodied people than agree with Obama (and Mitt Romney) about those people paying for themselves.
Ah yes, the "individual mandate" - after the young refused to fund the ponzi scheme , known as "Obamacare" , this illegal mandate was forced upon the tax paying American citizens in order to fund the subsidies for the freeloaders who jumped on board for free health care. Of course the idiot liberals supported this "mandate".
From Meriam Webster:
Illegal - (n) (1) anything that makes David Miller's hemmorhoids flare up
There's a reason why Republicans dont have a healthcare plan. They dont want nanny state solutions. And they dont want a private sector mandate for people to pay their own way.
ILLEGAL - the proper word defining the asinine liberal freebee want list that others pay for.
