      A cap on the price Medicaid would pay for insulin for the people it covers and unenforced pledge from pharmaceutical companies to cap their prices that they could reverse at any time was on the ballot

      Better than what we’re about to get, but far short of the right it should be

      So why couldn’t they do that in the last 4 years?

      Because the Republicans, or a mysteriously convenient amount of Dems voted it down every time?

      And you say this has been going on for 20 years now?

      I’m gonna go out on a limb and say the Dems probably wouldn’t have been able to pass stuff yet again if they were in power.

      Really we need to dimantle the Duopoly and take our country back

      That is the only place it stays, on the ballot not in policy, bills. Because that would hurt the donors.

      America just said no to duplicity.

      Did you include racism? I feel like racism, hatred toward women, and just raw hatred of people, really scored well with the base.

      It was on the ballot in 2020, we voted for it. Democrats have no credibility since they don’t follow through.
