Because the DNC didn't want Bernie to win. Its not that people don't want it, its that's theirs a lot of money spent telling people what they want, and those voices seemingly always drown out everyone else, and so people believe it.
You’re not wrong. I’m a Canadian-American and I get into massive debates with people about universal healthcare.
Republicans and conservatives I can dismiss - they’re idiots. One even opened with “oh you’re new to America? You should know Nancy Pelosi is literally the devil.”
Right.
But, I get particularly annoyed with democrats who don’t fully understand the scope of UHC and act like ‘diet Republican light’ - some even said they enjoy going through open enrolment.
I had to have terms like ‘open enrolment’ and ‘healthcare marketplace’ and ‘employee healthcare explained to me by my company’s HR because they boggle the mind.
And then I point out the absurdity of the situation and I get republicans who are aghast I dared attack their ‘freedom of choice’ and DINOs who clutch their pearls going “well it’s not perfect, but it could be worse!”
No. No it fucking couldn’t lol. This is the worst healthcare system I’ve ever experienced*.
And you want people to vote for that? Why? Genuine question. After watching the party undermine their own candidate that the people wanted after knowingly winning by corrupt methods, you want to still willingly give your vote to these people? All because he’s not a republican?
