    Had a reason? They already had a reason. They had thousands of reasons. Thousands of Americans dying due to the shit industry. Is that not a reason enough for Democrats?

      They always had the excuse of “people love their healthcare!” That’s the line that was always trotted out. It would be pretty difficult to keep that line when we’re literally executing healthcare CEOs and having a positive nationwide reaction to it.

      If journalists would actually do their proper duty for the population and not their masters (lmao) they’d start pushing representatives on the topic as it relates to the response.

      (Instead though we get articles like “Bad luck Brian was the working class hero, not Luigi” from the NYT. 🤮)

        Bernie’s Medicare For All plan has been out there close to a decade now and I would argue that proposal is a huge part of his popularity. Democrats knew that and they told him, and by extension his supporters, to go fuck themselves. They know people want this but they don’t care.
