    This. Also it passed without Republican support so a few shitty Dems are really to blame for what we got. And Kamala isn’t going to go after it either. I know quite a few people who vote R for gun rights but want single payer healthcare. Both parties are very different, they suck in different ways and represent moneyed interests, not the people.

      Mostly Joe Lieberman if I remember correctly made it his mission to remove a single payer option. It’s hard to change the status quo and I think raising the minimum wage and making single payer health care will do a lot to build to help America and would be a winning Democratic strategy. I doubt it will happen but a man can dream.

      Also I can’t with single issue voters around gun rights.

        If the Dems would stop trying to disarm the people they’d never lose another election. But they’re pretty bought into global governmental authoritarianism. Not Dem voters. The party. The R voters aren’t all fascists either. It’s just our political landscape is fucked.
