        Socialized healthcare and worker’s rights would be what you get with incremental change. And I am a worker who intentionally kept her own wages low to stay on Medicaid so it does effect me.

        Affordable housing? Gonna have to go full Luigi to get that one. It’s just not happening at the voting box.

          So to be clear you already have socialized healthcare and you’re telling people who don’t that shouldn’t be their priority when voting for a candidate? Do I have that right?

          What’s your housing situation?

              That’s not what you said earlier. Let me jog your memory. You responded to a comment which said:

              I’ll support them so long as they run against a Republican who is much much worse.

              Your response was:

              As a vulnerable minority (trans) being targeted for active genocide by the Right, I really wish that WAS enough for Democrats to get elected

              “Forget about families who can’t afford their health insurance premiums. Think about meeeeeee”

              I’m sensing a theme here.

                Yes, because Trump’s attacks on Medicaid and Medicare are getting us closer to Medicare For All!

                You’re putting words in my mouth.

                I never said families who can’t afford their premiums weren’t important, if Kamala were President, she’d be doing something about it. But she isn’t, Trump is, and he’s bringing budget cuts to programs already underfunded.
