    If only either political party in America agreed…

    We’re stuck with only a small slice of Dems that even acknowledge our system is fucked.

      Which explains why Bernie Sanders got sacked in their presidential primaries, twice.

        That was vague, my bad.

        I might meant a small slice of dem politicians.

        Voters of the Dem party and independents largely support healthcare reform, and even a good amount of Republicans.

        But the party keeps supporting incumbents who don’t represent their voters.

        Just a bunch of old politicians deciding it’s best for all of them to stay in power because they know better than voters.

          That was vague, my bad.

          I [meant] a small slice of dem politicians.

          Oh, that was understood.

          And what I meant was that the party itself orchestrated his sacking.

          No problem. I have made the comment about both sides suck and it doesn’t matter before. It really feels that way all the time. I have said before : Republicans act like they care.

        Vote with your heart in the primary, and your brain in the general.

        Which is why it sucks so much we don’t get primaries every election.

        People are literally dying from inaction in America, and we really don’t have any say it.
