Last week, 1,500 unionized nurses gathered in a large conference room at the Marriott Marquis in San Francisco to cheer for a cause they’ve championed for years: Medicare for All.

Considered a radical and even fringe idea for decades, interest in sweeping healthcare reform has surged as progressive Democrats have won a series of primary victories ahead of November’s crucial midterm elections. Most prominent among its advocates is Democratic US Senate nominee from Michigan Abdul El-Sayed – who took the lectern before these nurses.

“Medicare for who?” asked El-Sayed – “ALL!” the crowd shouted back.

Where's the contradiction? Do you really think it's a better strategy to put off larger reforms and focus on only preventing regressives from making things even worse?

I think the American people are going to realize that by putting off dealing with fascism will just end up getting them more fascism.

But at the end of the day, having left the United States permanently, I am very much looking forward to the fall of the United States because it only makes more financial opportunity for me and everyone else.

Well, here's hoping we can get through that process without even more global war and collapse, I think in the short to medium term it's not looking great for anyone.
