Penn grad Luigi Mangione's arrest for killing UnitedHealthcare's CEO forces a truth upon us: This isn't about violence. It's about the state-sanctioned corporate machine strangling us all.
"Violence is initiated by those who oppress, who exploit, who fail to recognize others as people—not by those who are oppressed, exploited, and unrecognized." - Paulo Freire
It seems that if the nation votes for donthecon then all these stats you just quoted are null and void. CEOs act this way because amerikkkan’s gross racism is more important to maintain than having fair healthcare and all the other programs. A majority of this nation are gross racists.
"When millions march in the streets for healthcare reform"
I don't remember this ever happening.
(For women's healthcare, yes. In 2017. Women marched. And a few men. Then came the Blue Wave. But McConnell still ran the Senate with an iron fist, and started packing the Court.
That was the first coup. The Blue Wave of women resulted in the Impeachments, and Trump's loss in 2020, but the takeover of the court was done. The Oligarchs' long, silent coup was already almost a check mate.)
And "When we flood town halls demanding change." LINK please. When was this?
Dems (including Progressives) rarely flooded. Evangelical Christian Fascists sure did though.
And we Have had major health care reform, not the Universal Health Care that JFK (the original, not the insane nephew) and Hillary and Obama originally aimed for, but still the biggest expansion of health coverage since the 1960's- the Affordable Care Act of 2010.
Look it up. Maybe you're too young to appreciate it. Ask the 133 million Americans with pre-existing conditions who are now protected from the predatory insurance industry how they feel about it. (although MAGA who benefit don't even know that's what "BamaCare" is.)
Sadly, the Progressives (even Occupy Wall St) and Dems sat out the midterms as usual,
and Republicans took control of the House, which whittled down original provisions that kept the Health Insurance Cartels at bay. But hey, go ahead and blame "the politicians" who are "all the same"
Oh, and Bidenomics is NOT trickle down economics - it's FDR democratic "socialism" and would have been even Stronger if the Dems/Progressive hadn't Once Again sat out the midterms, letting MAGA morons take the House, AGAIN.
And November. Progressives, and students rightfully outraged about Israel's US backed war crimes, and male chauvinists who pretend to be Democrats (like Musk) JUST SAT OUT THIS ELECTION, or voted for the perennially Useless Stein.
14 Million more eligible voters Didn't Vote,
than the number that voted for Trump;
almost 18 million more than Harris's total.
"When voting feels meaningless," it just means the corporate media have won you over. Thanks for helping the Superrich hand the reins over to two of the most evil, narcissistic wannabe dictators the Oligarchs have ever raised, and putting them in the most powerful position in the world. Trump, and Musk. Our only hope is that they will destroy each other.
💯 It's long past time for leadership to listen. Because what we're screaming is "you're on your way out, assholes." Time. To. Demand. Different.
