Two of the three of these feel like nothing in the face of our broken healthcare industry. Mind you these 1/300th steps ARE THE COMPROMISE.

Id like to see meaningful change before I die pls. This rate wont cut it.

Then fucking vote. Convince your friends to vote. Voting is what changes this.

Who do I vote to end the suffering of the people in Palestine? Get universal healthcare? Decriminalize cannabis at the federal level? Ban new oil and gas leases? Revoke fossil fuel subsidies and tax breaks?

Always being willing to hold your nose and vote for the lesser of two evils ensures that nothing will change. You'll always have the choice of bad and worse, and the best you'll ever be able to hope for is table scraps instead of transformative, positive change. That's not a system I'm going to prolong with my participation.

Lol playing dumb. Nice. Just for a setup of getting that lesser evil BS stuff in. If you want things to move left, then give Dems overwhelming and consistent wins. And there is it, just so you can excuse yourself for not voting.
