      Which unfortunately will never get anywhere because the Republicans are almost guaranteed to win back the Senate…

      It really sucks. Either Trump wins and gets the trifecta of control letting the fascists at the heritage foundation run rampant or Kamala wins but still loses the Senate and we get nothing but the statue quo for at least 2 more years… But if anything the Republicans will gain seats in the next cycle because they can point to the previous 2 years of nothing (caused by them) as evidence that Democrats suck…

      Big sad. :(

      I mean, at least she used to, before she started hanging out with Biden and dropped Medicare For All. Anyway, won’t destroy democracy.

          I prefer she show support for things she would pass if congress were willing. It doesn’t have to be a promise.

              I want Medicare For All and you think I could be a Trump supporter? You’re not as clever as you think, we are nothing alike.

              It’s called being realistic about what president can do with their powers. She absolutely should encourage Congress to pass legislation as that is much more permanent and effective than executive orders

                Being “realistic” doesn’t mean expecting promises of things that Congress would never approve.

          Then I should move to a country with single payer.

          Why would I stay here if the United States will never end medical debt? Seems like a bad place to raise a family - especially when Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, etc exist
