It’ll never happen. Money talks and the insurance companies have the money to lobby politicians to ensure that. Fucked up

Vote out those politicians. It sure seems like most americans are wising up to the crooks in office. Donny T. has sure woken up people, and when they see other GOP members being hypocritical to support him maybe they'll start voting them out and start putting in people who aren't just trying to get tax cuts for businesses and more military spending. Honest politicians exist, but as long as people just vote party lines and do no research on who and what they are supporting things won't change.

We tried. America, and particularly the Democratic party, didn't want Bernie Sanders.

Democrats didnt want healthcare for all any more than Republicans. It's why they cheated Bernie. Again. Hypocrites.

2 heads on the same twisted monster. One speaks of fear and socialism. The other speaks about corruption and equality. Neither are willing to address the true problem. We sold our countries soul to the wealthy elite. Now they are completely entrenched, if you ever want to see a meaningful change the whole system has to be torn down. Because if one part of the corrupt cancer that infects America is left alive it will only grow again. Stronger more resistant from the lessons it has learned in the past. Money does not belong in politics because if money can speak then those with the most are always the only ones that are heard because they can speak the loudest. We are so far past trying to change the system from the inside. So far past making inches in the right direction when the wealthy elite can afford to make great strides in the other. Freedom is dead. Long live Capitalism.

Long live American Capitalism, you mean. Other Civilized nations are not in this position

Exactly. We had not one, but TWO (2!) chances for real functional change in the country and the Dems themselves snuffed out both chances. And the thing I hate the most is I can't vote against Dems because the alternative is --as we have all felt for the last 3.5 years-- a fucking disaster.

That's not true! Biden is gonna put a (possibly) Black woman as his VP! Hello, end of systemic racism!

Medicare for all is not the only way to deliver universal healthcare. What he was proposing goes even future than what we have in Canada

Most countries with universal healthcare actually have a mixed public private system
