    Universal health care has been on the national stage since Teddy Roosevelt in 1912. Over a century and not much to show for it.

    The problem with eventually is that there’s no measure of success, since you can never be wrong, it’s just not eventually yet.

      How many countries have pulled it off? It’s laughable to think it is impossible here. Everything I’ve suggested has already been implemented elsewhere. It’s pretty logical to assume it can happen here too.

        I assume you’ve pivoted now to universal healthcare…but I’m not sure. No one said it’s impossible, for that matter, no one said gun control is impossible. Just that it won’t pass a Republican controlled legislative body, and I assume it would be struck down by the Supreme Court…same as gun control. Change both of those (Congress & Court) and you’ve got a chance.

          The point is that opposition to both is not some permanent feature of the US government. Nor will the SCOTUS always be far right.

            You could save so much time if you just turned your account into a bot that replied as follows:

            Eventually! Eventually! Eventually!

              There comes a point when you become just a white nationalism apologist. As such, you can go fuck yourself.

                There comes a point when you become just a white nationalism apologist.

                What are you talking about? The fact that I’ve repeatedly asked you when and how we can effect change under your model, and you’ve ignored the questions and repeatedly stated that it will eventually happen (as if by magic), that makes me a white nationalist apologist??? Congratulations, I didn’t think you could make a more idiotic reply, but you did it! Good for you!

                As such, you can go fuck yourself.

                Further proof your vapid comments are as empty as your mind.

                  Again, you are a white nationalism apologist. The problem here is you.

                    Again, your explanations are as vacant as the space between your ears. You’ve clearly used multiple words you couldn’t even define.
