    Roll into what? People are willing to read, and bitch online. Occasionally, you might get them to vote. Nothing will happen beyond that.

        I don’t see a mechanism for converting that action to large scale movements

          It doesn’t have to be a large scale movement. A couple of copy cats would get things moving.

            That’s the point. The commenter said it is just the start and things will improve without any hints of doubt. It sure would be great but from the part incidents, it is just unlikely. No one can predict the future but imo it is definitely more likely for almost no noticeable impact than the end of entire for-profit medical industry.

          That’s because voting does nothing, especially not in Amercia. The choices were between a fascist and a neoliberal stooge.
