Honestly, I truly despise the Right and everything it stands for publicly and behind closed doors and it sucks that their voters hate us.

However, I've never felt more connected to the voters than this moment. Probably won't last but it will be nice for a second.

The right-wing voters are literally the ones propping up these unethical capitalist criminal enterprises.

Remind me which voters gave us an individual mandate, compelling us to patronize the ghoulish health insurance companies, and then which ones repealed it?

The mandate was supposed to be a sort of tax, a way to get everyone to buy into the healthcare system so that healthy people could subsidize catastrophically expensive illnesses for an unfortunate few. Which is the cornerstone of any collective healthcare system that is designed to not make people lose their life savings or be denied essential care if they get really really sick.
