This is part of the plan. Strikes against the US just provide a basis for further consolidation of authoritarian power. They welcome them, since they don't give a shit about the peons who will die or be maimed in attacks

You are mixing up Medicare premiums with ACA premiums, I think. ACA premiums are increasing due to failure to renew Biden Admin enhanced subsidies. That has nothing to do with Medicare drug plan premiums. Those may increase for some, but for different reasons.

Agreed. It's tough to get young people engaged with any kind of politics. While I support progressive ideas, what I most support is politicians who can get elected and are committed to rebuilding democracy, starting with figuring out how to end gerrymandering, which is something most people want.

Sorry - there are a lot of people commenting on NC politics who don't live here, so I think it's a reasonable question. And I don't block people just because I might not agree. I don't want to exist in an echo chamber. I am interested in who people think would be good candidates who could win.

Actually, kind of a depressing place because of very bad GOP gerrymandering. But some good people, like Roy Cooper. And others.

You need to learn a bit about North Carolina and Roy Cooper. He was a pit bull about getting Medicaid expanded. He fought with GOP for years and never let go. Finally got GOP on board.

No. I think you make a very good point. But one needs to be realistic.
