    I almost wish it was that simple. Unfortunately it’s more about greed and the vast majority of politicians being owned by those with real power (money).

    It’s not a right vs left thing it’s a right AND corporate left vs the tiny percentage of DSA Democrats that actually want to get a universal/single payer system up and running… I’m not usually a “BoTh SiDeS” guy but in this case it absolutely is. We have a LOT of shitty corporate Democrats unfortunately… The GOP is completely a lost cause though.

    It’s such an uphill battle because the vast majority of BOTH parties need the Parasite Owning Class™ to back them, and some count on the extremely well paid board member type jobs they’re given after they serve in government. The types of jobs handed out so that they can argue they don’t accept bribes and haven’t been paid by anyone (yet…) It’s a gross loophole that really needs to be addressed.
