Never forget FDR wanted Social Security to be universal healthcare... And so did the people who voted for him.
"Moderates" just kept telling he had to wait, and when he kept getting elected they changed the rules to get rid of him.
It's why I hate people like Biden still say "it's too soon"
We've literally been told that longer than Biden has been alive, and that's a long fucking time.
They're never gonna say it's time.
It would've been time if folks under 35 voted in the primaries at the same rates as those over 65.
Until that happens, yeah, it's probably going to be the elderly deciding when it's time.
From a European perspective, the USA is effectively a single party state, and within that party there is a right wing and a very right wing.
