It’s a wake up call, but it’s not really going to change anything. You want universal healthcare? We need a general strike. Shut everything down for a month and demand it.
Rather then a general strike the perfect time to get it would have been voting for it in November. Even if everything shut down tomorrow, cities and towns burned, and people starved for months the GOP would spit on you.
Which party advocated for universal healthcare in the 2024 election? Sure wasn't the Democrats.
If the DNC had a supermajority you can bet your ass we'd have single payer. We almost had it in 2010 but came up 1 vote short when an independent voted no alongside every single Republican.
Republicans are so anti-public-healthcare that many of them want to gut medicaid, medicare, and often say things like supporting "Pure Privatization" and "get the government out of healthcare".
This is a clear partisan issue: DNC want it and GOP don't want it.
Maybe the DNC of 20 years ago wanted it, but you're only fooling yourself if you think they want it now.
Find out! Let them do it, the GOP certainly aren't going to so let the DNC try.
They won't try lol. The Harris campaign made it quite clear that it wasn't part of their platform. The Clinton campaign argued against it. The Biden campaign said something about a public option that wasn't mentioned again after the election. The Dems did their best to stop any momentum Sanders had when he campaigned on single-payer.
They don't want to do it.
Vote Dem or the people directly opposed to the thing you pretend to support win. Very easy choice. You should be supporting and promoting the Dems.
Ah, yes, so we've gone from insisting that Dems support something they will openly tell you they oppose, to pure scolding. This didn't work a month or so ago, I don't know why you'd expect it to work now. I'd love to support Dems. They need to make it a worthwhile effort.
Then watch as the GOP causes the death of your loved ones, raises your taxes, tortures people on basis of ethnicity, and deregulates markets
Because you just dont feel like the dems are committed enough.
There's that scolding again, only this time it's far more desperate. It always seems to devolve to this with libs, just start threatening people when you can't defend the Dems' shit policies. Do you think that gets people to vote? Because it doesn't, it just makes you sound like a sanctimonious jerk.
I voted blue this election, in spite of the uninspiring and frankly lousy campaign they ran and the paucity of meaningful change they promised, and in spite of Biden's disappointing administration, his facilitating a genocide, and his lack of any effort towards healthcare reform. I did that because the GOP is worse.
United Health alone gave the Kamala campaign 700k, look it up. Kamala made it quite clear that her campaign did not support universal healthcare. Then just a little over a month after the election, we have a stark reminder that it's wildly popular and that people on all sides of the aisle desperately want to see change. The Democrat party could have harnessed that energy, and likely won. But they didnt. Because they don't want universal healthcare, and the sooner you accept that the sooner you can help us demand more from them.
If voting actually worked it would be illegal. It's meaningless as long as the DNC Services Corp controls the controlled opposition party.
lmao why would they even play pretend? We've seen other places in the world like China and Russia don't face any consequences for being opaquely authoritarian and single party.
You're basically saying that US Democracy is fake and that swapping policy stances every 4 to 8 years is a big act? Whats the payoff?
I think we can vote to get all of the things we care about but people are too stupid and easily mislead to try it.
