      Actually, voting can’t do it, as we have shown. We need to make being in charge of healthcare a dangerous business to the point where no one fights very hard to get rid of it. We don’t live in a world where people let go of a billion dollar industry because it’s the right thing to do. These people need to be forced out. And seeing one of their own die from greed freaked a lot of them out… not for long, they’re back to their old tricks. Which is why we need more action.

        We haven’t had 60 DNC since 1979.

        When we had 58 in 2010 for only 72 days we got Medicaid Expansion, would have dirt cheap public option like they do in European countries if not for Joe Lieberman caucusing independent. Well, him and every single Republican who voted no.

        Try it first then tell me it doesn’t work.

            It’s a bit problematic that you disagree with reality, but you’re not really my problem so you do you.

              It’s a bit problematic that you see reality as the fiction you’ve been programmed to see, but you’re not really my problem so you do you.
