Honestly I feel like Kucinich is a con-man. He talks all progressive for money then consistently sabotages any major progressive move to get his ass on TV.We have young progressives coming up every day though and we'll probably have Health Care for All in California soon (because health care for all is more cost-efficient than the traditional American system) if Jerry Brown wins, because our state passed it 3 times but Schwarzenegger vetoed it.The future of progress is in the youth because a lot of young people have challenged the DLCs and drove the Clintonites from the state party, which is why so many of them have helped Schwarzenegger over the years.
Yeah, I know it's disgusting. I wish things could change faster, but real change happens over time. Unfortunately we've been facing more resistance from the DLCs and their lobbyist friends on every policy issue than they ever gave the Republicans. And recently it became legal again for corporations to pour in money to campaigns so the Republicans have endless money. California also is legalizing weed soon, hopefully. We're going to vote on it at the election. The good thing is Jerry Brown always hated the Clintons since Bill beat Jerry in 1992 by lying about Jerry so he won't work with them I think.
That's factually incorrect since the law basically demands that every person have health insurance, which is going to benefit the insurance companies, not harm them.This is a good article on it http://libcom.org/news/health-care-refrom-insurance-lobbys-triumph-19042010And if the government requires everybody to get coverage — just what the overhaul legislation calls for — it could guarantee a steady stream of customers subsidized by taxpayers not only for insurers, but for all medical providers.http://www.allword-news.co.uk/2009/07/26/lobbyists-the-silver-lining-in-health-care-storm-4/The insurance companies have been lobbying hard for this, if you don't believe those 2 articles, then keep looking, sure you can find many more.As for Ed Milliband, the banks have killed this country, killed America, own our asses, unless something decisive is done there, then an increase in minimum wage aint gonna do shit, as prices rocket.Fuck all of these out for themselves politicians.
