Politicians have ensured that there is no peaceful, legal pathway to reform. That's why this happened.

Isn't there going to be a very big change to US government come january?

Honestly, simply put, imo, no. The same rich and powerful are going to be in charge then. Even more so. I’d argue that the incoming government even guarantees that there’s no peaceful, legal, pathway to reform.

And what are they gonna do except continue to line their pockets while we all suffer.

Most armed country in the world. Continue to fuck around and you will find out. I can’t believe it took this long.

Towards authoritarianism and dictatorship and away from democracy, yes.

[-] iii@mander.xyz 1 points 10 months ago

So change is possible if you gather sufficient votes?

In the US? No.

Multivariate analysis indicates that economic elites and organized groups representing business interests have substantial independent impacts on U.S. government policy, while average citizens and mass-based interest groups have little or no independent influence. The results provide substantial support for theories of Economic-Elite Domination and for theories of Biased Pluralism, but not for theories of Majoritarian Electoral Democracy or Majoritarian Pluralism.

I'm sure Trump's concepts of a plan will fix healthcare in this country. Yup, definitely should have just waited for daddy Trump to give the healthcare industry a spanking. He's definitely not a slimy conman who will just let the insurance industry line his pockets like every other politician.
