    Their half measures often make things worse in the long run. For example, because they fumbled the ball so hard with single payer healthcare, we just got marketplaces instead, so still private insurance, only now the federal government can reach in and dictate that they’re not obligated to cover this or that, which the Trump admin is doing now. Their idea of compromise is building a big button into everything they do that turns it into some heinous shit the next time a republican rolls around.

      Let’s not forget that it’s their fault we’re in this mess in the first place. They fucked up so bad with Biden/Harris and the campaign against Trump, and then millions of them just stayed home come election time. They can try blaming that on leftists all they want, but there’s not that many leftists in the nation.
