"Remember when there used to be all of these articles about people in Europe living longer than Americans because they drink red wine and eat olive oil?
Turns out it was universal healthcare all along."
Every year people use long lines to talk about the pride they have in American democracy. But it’s fundamentally anti-democratic to have such bad electoral infrastructure that people have to wait six hours to vote. It’s literally voter suppression.
Make American politicians afraid of their voters again. They aren’t scared enough. They ignore our phone calls and our emails. We protest against them, and they send cops to beat us up. They’ve proven they aren’t movable. They are not afraid of us, and they should be.
