Fascinating. You managed not to discuss a single thing I wrote!

There are some false assumptions in your post.

I heard that story for three decades. “You’ll take nothing and not complain because the alternative is worse.”

Eventually I took the third choice. I left America, moved to the Netherlands and I’ll soon be Dutch.

But I was never actually a US citizen, though I paid taxes for thirty years.

Could I have voted, it would have been in New York State, where for thirty years my vote for a Democrat would have been utterly pointless.

The Democrats do have a choice. They could actually attempt deliver something instead of saying, “Anything we do will just lead to failure, so let’s not try.”

As I pointed out in some of the text you simply ignored, Medicare for all is extremely popular with a majority of Americans.

The idea that the Democrats have to be losers forever is self-fulfilling. Soon it’s all going to go down, and the Democrats will say, “Don’t blame us! We did nothing at all!”

If you don’t actually respond to any of my arguments, I won’t respond, so in that case, have a good day. Honestly, I feel really bad for you trapped there.
