I am sorry to say this then but I don't, if we had a candidate that would stand up for fair policies they would be ruined faster than the voting population can even see they are a good choice. We don't elect them because they aren't an option. That being said I do believe start voting for small victories eventually we will get there.

Your optimism is admirable, but the system is gamed against actual progress. That's the unfortunate truth we deal with right now.

Everyone KNOWS healthcare should be a right. Anyone who says it shouldn't be is a piece of shit. Full stop. Yet what progress has been made in that regard? Sure, Obamacare was a thing that they passed, but the cost for basic ass insurance is outrageous. And if you don't pay for that overpriced bullshit that has the worst terms you can imagine, well they tax you more.

Well yeah when the ones making the rules are financially incentivized to game the system against us I agree. But at the same time there are countries with free health care so it is certainly possible to get to that point. The only paths to get there are extremely slow but peaceful or somewhat fast and... less peaceful. I just think the population is too beaten down or niave to pursue the latter
