Getting free health care is the american lefts version of going back to brunch. They'll literally give up any principles they have just to get it.

And they still won't get it, which they should realise after decades of dangling it in front of them, but alas. Also i wouldn't call dems "left".

I mean do mainstream dems support health care for all a la NHS? AFAIK they don't. Honestly I think they will get health care for all and that will be it. I kind of see Mahmdani getting elected as the beginning of the end of the American left.

Not really. Most are still wanting to possibly have something in place for the less fortunate but still keep the majority the same. we just need to control spending to reform the insurance companies!

Mmm after having American politicos steal a bunch of ideas from me, and then not pay me. I really don't give a fuck about american politics anymore. I just learn about it through osmosis now a days.
