Healthcare is likely the most sensitive topic that affects vast majority of people. Everyone has either been fucked by insurance industry or knows someone who has.
I don’t think this single thing is going to be the catalyst for some major change on its own, but these things add up over time. Eventually, quantity transforms into quality. People are becoming increasingly aware that the system is broken, and solidarity within the working class is starting to slowly develop. It’s important to develop a long term perspective here and recognize that change is a long process there will be many setbacks along the way. I do think it’s important to use these kinds of events to do agitprop to point people in the right direction in terms of their thinking.

That’s certainly a perspective I’d like to agree with, so I hope you are right!
And then vote for more republicans anyway.
