    See, that’s not what I said, though. I can say that it would be great to have universal healthcare, but that we cannot “pray it into existence,”

    lol! Talk to the 45 million people who are getting Obamacare.

    Even Obama called the ACA a ‘starter house’ but if we listened to you those folks wouldn’t have anything.

    Gay rights is another example of progress that was made without your Revolution.

    Good bye

      The ACA was a concession, and is in danger of being whisked away. Same with gay rights. Electoralist strategies are subject to the whims of Capital, not the people.

        Thank you for proving my point. We should be working on preserving the gains we’ve made instead of focusing on a pie in the sky future.

          Focus as hard as you want to, you won’t be able to make a difference on what gets repealed or enacted with your strategy, hence my point.

            You’re hilarious.

            The ACA never happened, the New Deal never happened, nothing matters unless you decide it’s worthy.

            You’ve gone from mildly amusing to shrilly repetitive. Can’t waste more time on you. Go outside and touch the grass.

              I already explained earlier, but we do not live in the same conditions the ACA was passed in or the New Deal. Can you explain how those passed, and why? It’s not that they don’t matter, it’s that we do not control the levers to make them happen, the Bourgeoisie does.
