I strongly doubt supporting they/them cost her the election. But what do I know, I only watched her cave into defeat before election night was even over.
flipfloping on universal healthcare messaging day after saying it, and running fucking republican endorsements at the DNC...really all you had to see. everything else was just shit-icing on the shit-cake
The majority of Americans-both Democrats and Republicans -support some form of universal healthcare. The fact that neither party supports it is evidence that they are working together to withhold it from the populace.
...it sometimes feels like we are only given a say on the least relevant issues. We get to decide who joins which highschool sports team, but we aren't given a say on how we spend our tax dollars.
Lol universal healthcare. There's no chance in hell she would have been able to do that.
Why?
Republicans for one. Theyd never let it through both chambers. Then there's the dems in name only like fetterman that'll flip their vote. Just off the top of my head
The healthcare plan the US has now was inspired by a Republican healthcare plan, what is holding this back are self-defeatist "democrats" who believe fighting is "hopeless" for universal healthcare.
Nope, we can do this, healthcare is probably the most uniting and popular issue that people face in their lives.
Can you explain to me why some people like to both call those that voted for Kamala as being defeatist while at the same time refusing to vote for a candidate that is not 100% perfect but miles better than the opposition?
Genuinely curious.
I too like to day dream
Then get out of the way of the rest of us making it happen and stop spouting cynical nonsense that only serves to depress the desire of people to demand a better future.
If I'm stopping you, you need to try a little harder than that.
