    It would of been a lie and never implemented. Even if they had the votes they’d find a democrat spoiler to ruin it in the last hour. Like they always do.

        I mean it still wouldn’t have earned her my vote

        So no politician has any reason to ever listen to what you want. Maybe that’s WHY she didn’t champion M4A. Not enough votes.

        • I meant that that alone wouldn’t have earned it. Genocide is a hard line for me. I guess politicians who support genocide don’t have any reason to listen to what I want if they’re not going to stop supporting genocide, so you’re partially right

            As far as I can tell, the system has sucked since its inception

            Nope. It worked way better before Trump.

            and continues to benefit the same people it always has

            That has always depended on the party.

            Clinton: raised taxes on rich. Bush: lowered taxes on rich. Obama: raised taxes on rich. Trump: lowered taxes on rich. Biden: raised taxes on rich.

            Point taken, I was referring quite literally to the system. It’s unlikely we’ll have another election, but if we do, expect the democrats to run Liz Cheney. Centrism doesn’t offend their class interests and they don’t care if they lose. So they’ll run a Republican and kneecap anyone to the left of a Republican.
