shrug I’m rooting for a public option. It’s a democratic republic though. Only way to get a change like that done is to convince more voters that your party actually represents their interests in order to get the power to push something like that through. Yet the Democrats have been losing support for years, because they now expend most of their political capital on unpopular policies, and appeal only to college-educated elites, showing disdain toward everyone that doesn’t already support them.
