a public option would save countless lives, but the American left is littered with arsonist ideologues who would rather let the poor rot than make any sort of compromise - people who would rather see their enemy suffer than see their neighbor prosper; just absurdly infuriating.
Medicare for All would save $1 trillion & 114,000 lives each & every year, per Yale.
“Majority Democrats” is funded by billionaire hedge fund manager Steve Mandel, Michael Bloomberg & Rupert Murdoch’s son.
They should change their name to Billionaires for the Status Quo.

much of the left is allergic to progress. even when the ball is in our court, perfect must be the enemy of good - every time. every single time. I swear some of you are just too privileged to ever feel the consequences of your stupidity

Wouldn't be hard for Piker & fans to learn the basics of health care policy, incl real challenges to passing M4a, paying for it & keeping voters happy w the result.
But that would require them to learn from ppl who look & sound like Ezra Klein.
That may be asking too much?
Hasan Piker says that single-payer healthcare is "the only solution."
Ezra Klein asks Piker what happened when Vermont tried to implement single-payer.
Piker is not familiar with it.
Klein explains that it fell apart because the hidden costs of the system suddenly become taxes.
Vermont abandoned its single-payer plan in 2014 after finding that it required an 11.5% payroll tax and income taxes as high as 9.5%.

Chris Christie will run for president, humiliate and destroy the second strongest Republican in a debate, then withdraw.

There is no Talarico without Mamdani. There is no Blue Wave without Mamdani. He single handedly showed Americans what is means to be progressive and that government can actually deliver on those promises.
