A solid majority of Americans are in favor of #MedicareForAll. Someday the US government is going to represent the will of the people and give it to them (insurance and pharmaceutical company donations be damned).

BREAKING: Bernie Sanders just reintroduced Medicare For All in the Senate! The United States is the ONLY industrialized nation without universal health care.

Gandhi lead a non-violent revolution, and while it didn't actually put the people in power, it did free them from the tyranny of British rule.

We have senators calling the cops to prosecute people for asking please in chalk. Any legitimate protest will be met with violence. Gerrymandered states and the electoral college will prevent electoral change. I hope you are right but I don’t see how this ends peacefully.
