RIP, goodhearted woman.
America, if you’d vote for change, this wouldn’t be necessary. The US is the only developed country where this is commonplace.

Yeah, but still. To me, one party wants as much of this to change as possible. The other one wants to take us as far back toward the 1950s as possible.
You’re not wrong that the Republicans wanna go back to the 1850s nowadays. But Democrats campaign on Medicare for all and single payer with no intent to ever implement it. It’s a popular idea, but would hurt their bottom line if they ever actually did anything about it.
And our system is rigged against anyone not running as either party, so…
My guy 4 years took us from MC4A being fringe to every primary candidate having their own pitch for it from just doing medicare but without the age floor to complete abolition of private medicine.
The reason it hasn’t happened yet is because the demographic that’s most vocal for it is also the one that has to be dragged to the polls kicking and screaming to actually flipping vote for it.

I don’t believe a single mainstream Democrat would ever stop taking donations in order to actually implement it. I’ll still vote for the lesser of two evils until something changes with our bullshit system. Doesn’t mean I have to be happy about it
Obama literally passed the best we’ve gotten in a while, and that was with Republicans blocking every possible detail they could. Stop trying to imply both sides are the same.
One party wants to take us back to the 1950s, the other party pretends to want change. Both parties want the status quo. They’re the ruling class and they want we peons to stay in our place and produce wealth for them. There’s not a Left and a Right anymore, there’s center-right and deep-right.
Time and again, Democrats claim to want to help, but even when they are a majority, they always find a way to blame Republicans for their bills not getting passed. This is by design. They keep receiving votes because, “obviously, we’re trying!” when in reality they don’t want to risk their wealth any more than anyone else in the ruling class. They all live in a bubble outside of reality where they don’t even have to think about or concern themselves with “tiny” problems like medical debt thanks to perks like their government health plan and voting for their own pay raises.
Every once in a blue, they dangle a carrot like the affordable care act, net neutrality, or the attempts to delete student loan debt, so they can keep voters coming back and voting D, but it’s all just a contrived farce.
Unfortunately, now it’s either voting for fascism or voting for the status quo, so for the preservation of the country, more will vote D, and the Democratic party will assume it is because We The People like their weak attempts at policy.
