22. Correct, and step 1 is to stop passing those memes around

What memes?

1. That many people love their current shitty for profit insurance, no they don't, republicans and the insurance industry made that meme up.
2. That Congress will not pass M4A. Yes they will if they know it will being them votes.

Because all politicians are such whores, when they see that their constituents support, want M4A they will understand that unless they support it they will loose those votes, they will then make a U-Turn to support it, but if what they hear from their constituents those memes then we are all in trouble.

The fact is that most of the country want M4A, that is a fact.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
