To those in this thread: if you're at all curious about how a socialized healthcare system could be developed without waiting for federal-level dems to wave a magic wand, here's a book for you: Radical Medicine: The International Origins of Socialized Health Care in Canada. Kill the
inside your head that says state-level healthcare is impossible and it needs to be solved at the national level. Canada's healthcare system started as provincial-level healthcare in Saskatchewan. Every reason you've been fed about why it couldn't work here is contradicted by the actual historical record.
Liberal/progressive Americans have never fought for anything and expect the magic wand to show up. If they were to step up for the first time in their lives in Oregon and get crushes by the feds or Democrats or whoever, that will be valuable experience for them.
Same goes for the Mamdani campaign. Let them go full socdem, since for many of us it was radicalizing to watch the Bernie campaign get crushed (except me, I was reading Stalin and Mao in the womb and was born the one true leftist).
