I am having a hard time to see how I can tell people who can no longer afford lifesaving medicine due to profit maximization to value a civil discussion culture

I am having a hard time to see how I can tell people who can no longer afford lifesaving medicine due to profit maximization to value a civil discussion culture higher then their survival. Or differently put to value my principles higher then their survival. And that is the current situation, a decades long discussion about how the right to profit trumps peoples survival. And that situation has a running tab in the form of people dying so that people profiting on that misery and despair are not confronted with the consequences of their actions. All of this not even touching the problem of neutrality in a life or death situation of out powered people. Desmond Tutus mouse and elephant come to mind.

Tell them to act in a civilised way and to not vote for Trump who clearly stated his stance on public health. https://www.economist.com/united-states/2016/11/19/illness-as-indicator https://www.economist.com/united-states/2016/11/19/illness-a...

  The individuals might not survive that long. Or might not quietly accepts the situation if the majority votes for Trump regardless. I understand that dying quietly would be less of a hassle but dying on easily preventable causes rarely is friction less. I would also suggest asking yourself why you view protests outside of peoples houses less civilized then them condemning people to death to make a bigger profit.
