I take neither of you are one of those who never was without insurance nor couldn’t afford insurance increases to the point of cancelling their policy.
Just curious did either of you vote for Bernie Sanders who has been fighting for MED4ALL since before the 2016 election. The first time the elite chose our candidate
So, once again Corbin outlines all the problems with the US Political system: no mandatory limit on spending on elections; a lobby system which undermines democracy; a healthcare system which is too expensive for most Americans; broken immigration system, etc, but we want a solution/way forward: I think and most “Non-Trumpers- understand how clearly the DNC failed the Citizens in 2016 (corruptly imposed Hillary as our only choice) and handed Presidency to Trump and again in 2024 by rolling out a “has been” great President Biden on 27th June 2024 to again hand Trump the Presidency. I believe the Democrats need to get their shit together and choose a 2028 Presidential candidate NOW - a leader we can fall behind and support NOW - before it’s too late?
Solution/way forward - Demand any candidate receiving your vote support HJR-54, the bill calling for a constitutional amendment that kills the concepts of corporate personhood and money as speech. It would overrule every SCROTUS corporate-friendly precedent since the Santa Clara railroad case in the 1880s. It’s the only way to guarantee progressive legislation, from healthcare to wealth inequality to climate, will be upheld if passed, and the only way for electoral reform to happen.
The two factions that run this country, the Right and the Far Right, do not fear Medicare for All because it will fail, they fear it because the know it will succeed. Same reason we conduct economic and other forms of warfare against any country that even experiments with socialism.
DNC Dems are at an all time low. The most popular senator is an independent they lied cheated and stole to defeat and let's face it, Bernie's outreach to the Black communities was sad. DNC'll install another paid shill unless WE build a movement now that can beat their bs. Many write beautifully on the problems but don't say clearly: Either build DSA or actually go to those butt-numbing local Dem Party monthly mtgs with an ever growing posse to out vote their bs.
Many states have less people than NYC and many less billionaires than NYC which also has Wall St and the biggest banks in the world. Mamdani wins with no big donors for being honest and using all he learned campaigning for other progressives who lost. He took lessons learned and addressed economic not just social inequality with new policies and tried and true ones. He uses the MLK quote "Call it democracy, or call it democratic socialism, but there must be a better distribution of wealth within this country for all God’s children." We are divided too easily, we keep waiting for somebody else to do it but it's on us. We're on our own.
Disdain for the political system is at an all-time high but few among the discontented can discern a path forward. That's where we come in. To do that, though, requires a battle from within and outside the Democratic Party. Within the party there needs to be a clear line of distinction between the corporatist Dems and ourselves. Outside the party there needs to an organization and platform that represents our ideals.
Another problem is that the media normalizes all that's broken in service to billionaires.

Agree 1,000%! No one is excited about restoring a failed and broken system.
100% correct. What's amazing is that Republicans can figure out a way to be even crueller than mainstream Democrats.

I can’t remember if I’m a paid subscriber. 😣If not, I’d like to be.
How do I check?
Agreed. And pay for it out of a slashed "Defense" er "War" budget
Come now. Surely you don't think there's any chance of them winning this?
You make so much sense it scares me. Why do we have so many people that can't see what you're saying?
Narrative control and propaganda.
