    We’re cheering for someone actually fucking doing something to try to change that instead of whining on the Internet.

      If that was his best try then very clearly some of us are putting our support behind the wrong guy.

      You know some of these replies to me are just mask off Tankies, right? That should really put into perspective what sort of people promote this guy: people who don’t want to fix US healthcare but rather people who want to tear down the state.

        Okay, so what’s your plan to improve things and what steps have you taken towards implementing it?

          Things that would be infinitely better use of your money than a rich kids’ legal defence:

          • Bernie Sanders’ campaign contribution

          • Childrens Research Hospital Donation

          • Printing up and distributing localized Union instructional pamphlets

          Things specifically better for ending privatized healthcare:

          • Volunteering for DNC and informing people of the differences in platform between the GOP (pure privatization platform) and the DNC (would have already passed single payer a decade ago if they had even one more vote than the 58 DNC and 1 IND)

              I volunteer at my state’s DNC, I also seasonally work with the elderly and terminal patients who have low mobility which pays well enough to make a small contribution to Bernie Sanders once in a while.

              HBU? You buy a millionaire’s son a coffee, is that your legacy?

            Bernie Sanders has been campaigning for change for decades to absolutely no effect. After a while you have to assume that all the rest of the people in government don’t actually want change. And will resist it unless they feel unsafe. It’s the 4 boxes of liberty.

            You’ve stood on the soap box, used the ballot box, sat in the jury box, but things are still broken. Only the cartridge box remains.

              Big surprise, some of you don’t care about change and just want to tear down the USA. Screw off, failure of a revolutionary.

                The USA could be so much more than you allow it to be. You can have affordable healthcare and a 30 hour work week. You just need to take it. But CEOs are animals of habit. If you give them an inch, they’ll take a mile. Your government and legal system is fundamentally broken and will not help you.

                  It can demonstably be so much less, just look at the Trump Admin destroying everything we worked for so far.
