Well, America elected FDR about 80 years ago mostly because he was going to do universal healthcare…
Politicians from both parties told him they needed another couple years to crunch the numbers. The compromise was Social Security, but they added the income cap and told FDR his next term they’d expand it
BTW: that cap is why Social Security is habitually underfunded.
In FDRs second term, they told him the same thing. Then changed the rules so he couldn’t get a third.
And today, 80+ years later, the president of America (who is a Democrat) and all the people in leadership positions for Dems are still saying it’s too soon and we need to wait a few more years.
If you’re tired of people criticizing politicians from their own party, how about you go to the party where its tradition to never do that?
Because if neither of the only two options are willing to do that, we’re all fucked.
So I’m going to keep pointing out how “not a Republican” isn’t what we have to fucking settle for. Even if that is true in the 2024 presidential election.
