Summary
A Gallup poll shows 62% of Americans believe the government should ensure universal healthcare coverage—the highest support in over a decade.
While Democratic backing remains strong at 90%, support among Republicans and Independents has also grown since 2020.
Public frustration with the for-profit healthcare system has intensified following the arrest of a suspect in the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, reportedly motivated by anger at the industry.
Recent controversies, including Anthem’s rollback of anesthesia coverage cuts, and debates over Medicare privatization highlight ongoing dissatisfaction with the system.
No, that’s the turning point for being cynical. You’ve been beaten down over and over and learned to accept it. Big changes happen all throughout history, literally what are you talking about!?
You’re exactly the same as anti abolitionist Republicans in the 1800s that thought slave abolition was too extreme and we needed to incrementally abolish slavery.
I want to break a lot of fucking things.
This is all pointless anyway. Harris lost because of worthless liberal incrementalism! People won’t vote for it!
If you want to lose forever, keep doing what you’re doing.
No she lost because people like you convince everyone that “both sides are the same.” They are far from it and Dems are worth voting for because in our electoral system they’re the better choice (and the only realistic one.) That and people don’t do their CIVIC DUTY. It’s not incumbent on anyone to get you to vote at all. Go vote 3rd party for all I care but at least go vote.
And big changes tend to happen after big events. If you’re so hopeless then go be a Luigi. I would accept that. But I quite frankly am not looking at starting a civil war before we’ve at least tried to vote change in. And we clearly haven’t tried given that people don’t do it every single damn time.
And what big changes? I’d argue the ACA was one. Same with the IRA. You might not think so because it’s not single payer wrapped up with a bow or that the IRA didn’t immediately take us down from 1.5*C change but they are big. And they were done with VOTING. If you don’t recall, healthcare was abhorrent compared to what we have with the ACA. And maybe if people went and voted Dem since that was passed we’d either have a true public option or be even closer to single payer. But they didn’t so we’re not. Funny that.
Quite frankly, I vote left in primaries and Dem in general.
If YOU want to lose forever, keep your ass at home and your involvement contained to bitching online. Surely we’ll get to a better place then. /s
Democrats are going to let Republicans ban federal dollars for trans healthcare, essentially putting it in the same position as abortion access. That means I’ll probably lose my hormones and fucking die.
While you’re such a big fucking adult, you’ll let them kill me and fucking vote for it.
If we’re ever allowed to vote again.
Let?
Quite frankly you need to wake up and realize fellow Americans were too fucking lazy to vote Democrat for you. There’s nothing Democrats can do now.
Perhaps try blaming Republicans and their voters too.
They could filibuster, like Republicans do every time Democrats try anything. It works for them!
They won’t.
Instead, as soon as Republicans get elected they can kill any minority they want. The only obstruction comes from other Republicans. Democrats just roll over.
And I guarantee at least a few Democrats will reach across the aisle to help, and the rest will do nothing to obstruct, because they want to punish minorities for not winning them the election. Obstruction would be uncivil! It’d violate the norms!
And then I’ll fucking die.
And you’ll just sit around and wait a couple years to vote for them again after their complicity got me killed because you can not imagine anything else.
Or maybe you want me to die too.
