    But… if the people had homes, healthcare, and a general sense of security then they would actually show up to vote, show up to protest, and hold the greedy bastards accountable who have captured the government.

    This is why there will never be universal healthcare in the USA.

      thats why dnc would never support it(pretend to support it knowing there was a backdoor deal between both parties to kill it or neuter it), they need cannon fodder for the military, and low wage just as much as the gop does. once in a while they throw a bone, so both parties wont complain.

      It’s way more shortsighted than that. It has nothing to do with voting, or protests, or holding people to account.

      People having homes, healthcare, and a reasonable quality of life would result in less money for the people at the top of the entire system.
