What is wrong with the #DemocraticParty? I said in a post yesterday that elected #Democrats don't oppose #Trump. That's true. The truth is Democratic leadership opposes their own voters. They oppose YOU. Want an end to the 19 year Afghan War, that is 9 years past it's ... 1/10
mission of killing Osama bin Laden? Elected Democrats oppose that. Want to #LegalizeMarijuana? A naturally occurring medicine that is less harmful and less addictive than alcohol, and has been used by police to target people of color? Too bad! Elected Democrats oppose that. 2/10
Want #MedicareForAll , like the rest of the modern world? Too bad! Elected Democrats oppose that.

Yes, Democrats can't even agree to put #Medicare4All onto a non-binding platform. Medicare For All, a program talked about by FDR and a platform plank of Truman, this is... 3/10
not a new idea. And it will save us trillions of dollars on #healthcare. Some (uninformed) opponents say that it will damage our #economy. Nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, studies show that it will CREATE jobs in the healthcare industry, not to mention... 4/10
less sick days at work, if you're able to get the antibiotics or other medicines that you need.

#SinglePayer systems are working all across Europe. Again (uninformed) opponents will cite individual systemic problems in UK's NHS as proof, but NHS has other systemic issues...5/10
and Ministers that are trying to sabotage it so they can sell it. They will say that you can't compare Germany's system with the US because Germany only has 87 million people and the US has much more, but single payer is all across Europe, and the combined population of... 6/10
Europe is twice our population. So don't tell me it can't work! That's bull shit. Lies told to protect a for-profit system that preys on the sick and the weak.

It's disgusting to oppose #healthcare for all, especially in a #pandemic, when 30 million people have lost... 7/10
their jobs and the flaws of employer-based #healthcare have been exposed. Elected #Democrats want to give all those 30 million people the WORST POSSIBLE HEALTHCARE because they aren't protecting their constituents, they're protecting their donors. And it's vile that ... 8/10
@JoeBiden said he would veto #MedicareForAll during a #pandemic. That's all you need to see to know who he's working for. Hint: it ain't you!

If and when #Democrats win elections, it will be either because they were champions of #progressive change or it will be because... 9/10
the #Republican was a bigger piece of last week's diapers than they are. This is why @JoeBiden can be winning in polls while inspiring exactly no one. 10/10
