You do have to wonder if Republican voters are aware of what demographic controls Israel.
If only the democrats actually listened to AOC and Sanders.
But they don't.
Oh I'm sure they'll listen to them right up until the point where they find another member of the Clinton family that hasn't had their turn yet.
"But what if we compromised with them and our donors, and then compromised with the Republicans, and then put on our shocked pikachu face when the Republicans don't compromise with us in turn???"
Legit, the second half of the problem is related to our gerontocracy. These fucking dinosaurs are still acting like it's the 1970s and 1980s, when they first came to power.
Can we stop putting AOC and Sanders as Democrats please. At least these two are vocal.
Sanders is not even a member of the Democratic Party.
Americans need to stop saying the Democrats want universal healthcare. They don't and they've made that clear numerous times.
Like when?
Obamacare, the multiple times in 2016, 2020, and 2024 when they were deciding on a platform and universal healthcare never made the cut. They've had plenty of opportunities to push it and they never do.
Recently, you, Americans, made it crystal clear that campaigning on universal healthcare will not get you elected. Numerous times. Obamacare was the last time the word healthcare wasn't a ticket to losertown. A bunch of progressives got this stupid idea that if you don't vote, things will magically happen exactly as you want them to happen. Then they're surprised that regressives vote their people in power and implement exactly what they want to implement.
I find that hard to believe. Universal healthcare is the most popular policy proposal in the US for the voters. 60+% of Americans support it.
Also, there has been numerous studies done in the last 15 years that show that voting doesn't get popular policies passed. If the rich want something, it is more likely to get passed whereas if the average voters want something, it is unlikely to get passed.
It's popular until the Republicans say you're going to have to wait in line or it will somehow increase your taxes (or better yet: "this means your hard-earned dollars will go to the bottom surgery of an immigrant trans person who will participate in women's sports and use the women's bathroom!").
Then everyone drops it like a hot potato.
That's because you're political system is broken by lobbying. Fix that and you might start to see both parties make decisions for the people instead of the corporation's and billionaires that give them both insane amounts of money. Money they need to stay elected.
There's the two sides of the Democratic party. AOC (pictured) supports fixing that. Yet the DNC keeps nominating moderates who refuse to give more power to the working class.
AOC is progressive, not a neoliberal. Saying liberals want universal healthcare is a straight up LIE
Neoliberals are not typically liberals. You can be a progressive liberal

No shit. I am replying to the meme which implies democrats want universal healthcare - they dont.
I think the confusion is that it actually implies AOC, who is a Democrat, wants universal healthcare - she does.
