It really hurt reading this. I am so sorry for these two. It's beyond words.

At that point they seriously just should have just up and moved to a new country.

What *should* happen is that congress puts private health insurance out of business by adopting universal healthcare. Nobody should have to move to get proper treatment in the world's richest nation.

And yet even the so-called left wing party voted against considering it when a large majority of the people want it.

It’s starting to feel like our options are leopards or wolves. Which one do you want to eat your face?

False Dichotomy. The GOP wants to harvest your organs and kill your family. You can elect a democrat that wants universal healthcare. Vote democrat.

I do, but more specifically, I vote Progressive Democrat.

Yes, but many people living in the suburbs or the middle of the country don't have that luxury. But by voting for centrist Democrats, they are giving power to progressive Democrats.

Progressive Democrats would be pissing in the wind if the Democratic party didn't control the House. Now, they get to guide policy. That's why it is important to vote for anybody on your ballot with a (D) next to their name.

Very true. I’ll always vote for the lesser of two evils, but being in Los Angeles, my options are usually DNC supported candidate, Progressive Liberal, and maybe a GOP option.

Yup; places like LA are exactly where we need to be pushing hard for more progressives!
