That’s it? The wall, police reform, and reduce carbon emissions. Those are all minor issues. Expanding Ocare is dumb. We need Medicareforall.
So, in essence, Joe offers fringe minor differences and that’s enough for you.
Nothing on stopping the non-stop wars, the ever expanding police state, the ever expanding fascism of big government, nothing income inequality, nothing on helping average Americans who have nothing and are drowning in debt. Nothing on reforming our justice system.Nothing...
Actually, quite a lot, but never mind. It's just as easy to let the Perfect be the enemy of the good.
Biden will be an improvement over Trump. If it were up to me, I'd be all for Single Payer, but the country (not Wall Street or the Corporations, but the people) aren't there yet. They like their private insurance and they want to keep it.
Fixing all of those other issues, most of them would require a much larger consensus on them that we have now. Take, "non-stop wars". Okay. When the war started, it had 93% approval. Bin Laden is dead, Al Qaeda is pretty much gone as an organization, but we are still there. Why? Because it isn't effecting most of us personally. We got rid of the draft, we don't have a loved one over there unless they chose to join the military.
The reason why you had riots in the street over Vietnam was because those folks didn't want to be drafted. No draft, no outrage. I'd pull the plug on the Afghanistan Circus right now, but I wouldn't have to live with the consequences if the Taliban takes over.
