As someone who has lived in Europe for many years, the healthcare system is one of my least favorite things about the US. Absolute trash. But many people keep voting for candidates who don’t want change, so no change it is.
Roe died at the hands of the Supreme Court and Trump based on what happened during a Republican majority. Justice approval only requires a simple Senate majority. Filibuster or no filibuster. Result would have been the same.
It’s weird because most hate it. I remember when Michael Moore’s movie came out and even those in red states were gathering together to say that if we let this go on then we’re complicit!
Then I think I remember Fox News and the right-wing going on a blitz. “Death Panels” and shit
Look at this disinformation campaign. This is what pisses me off about this “both sides” bullshit. Also, whenever any comedian jerks themselves off about speaking the truth and being philosophers going off on woke when they shut their mouths about shit like this.
That was honestly the part that pissed me off the most about that whole discourse, mainly because we already had death panels and they were regularly sentencing people to death in order to save money.
They were called insurance companies, and they were able to drop your coverage and sentence you to death because you can’t afford to pay to stay alive.

Candidates who want change are rare.
And when someone does come along, the obstructionist party torpedoes it.
Most Democrats I know want a different healthcare system, including myself. I always find a candidate to vote for who want the same.
Most Democrats I know aren’t candidates.
It’s easy to find a Democratic candidate who says they want change.
It takes 60 votes in the Senate for real reform. The Democrats never have 60 votes, so it’s incremental change. It’s a marathon, not a sprint.
Because Democrats won’t end the filibuster.
The end of the filibuster for Democrats means the end of the filibuster for Republicans…think about it.
We’re so scared of what Republicans might do that we let Roe die.
