Successful healthcare and political entrepreneur. Keep it Real.
The trouble is the official parties have a lock on access to power. There’s no room in the party? Too bad you’re stuck. And so are we.
I have a hypothesis: the two party system is currently collapsing in ways that will only seem obvious in retrospect.
There is not a place in Congress for Cori Bush, or Jared Golden or MTG—but they collectively represent more voters than the Democrats or Republicans.

Yes! Maybe set up online marketplaces for people to buy insurance (give them a cool name like “exchanges”). And make rules about what the insurance has to cover, including pre-existing conditions so it’s fair.
I don’t know, maybe that’s crazy talk.

Trump: "We want a healthcare system where we pay the money to the people instead of the insurance companies. We're gonna be working on that very hard over the next short period of time. Where the people get the money. We're talking about trillions and trillions of dollars."

there is clearly some consultant telling them to do this because after indicting the former FBI Director because the president demanded it and illegally ordering troops to occupy another U.S. city my own member of Congress sent a text out about protecting our healthcare
The Trump administration’s threat to deploy troops in Portland is unlawful.
Here’s a thought.
Focus on protecting the healthcare of the American people.

Extremism is the enemy, and our politics is steeped in it.
Every one of us has a role to play to fight for a higher purpose and a commitment to civic duty. I don't care what political affiliation you have - we all have to do this.

the real glory of world war two was that it involved a warrior cult being ground down and beaten to a pulp by people who would rather have been doing something else.

Us Democrats don't have a whole operation for cheating. Because we believe in good-faith elections & governance. But I guess that has to change in this world where US elections have become the gladiatorial games for billionaires & multi-billionaires. How many billions do you need?
