RE: Has it escaped your notice that Dems voted for Biden in the primaries.

Like AOC said - if America were any other country she would not be in the same party as Joe Biden.

The USA has at least 4 parties but they suck it up and have to join with whichever party is closest to their own which is why many "real" Republicans or Regan Republicans flipped their vote to Joe Biden. Obviously, AOC and Bernie and some others are closer to Biden than a Trump. Joe Manchin is a paid-off corporatist - he's in no way anywhere close to a progressive. He's what is called a DINO along with Sinema who has lost many of her supporters and upper-tier activists who helped get her elected.

The problem in the US as I see it living in countries that actually give a shit about the people is that because the Biden democrats do NOTHING to help their people (other than helping billionaires make more money) is that people don't actually vote FOR Joe Biden - they voted against Trump. That's a problem because in 4 years people tend to have the memories of goldfish and will forget and not come out in numbers and will allow the next Republican wannabe fascist to take over. Heaven help you if you get a fascist with a brain and who can actually speak English properly.

When Bernie Sanders won those early primaries the Democrats circled the wagons real fast. People running for the presidency quickly dropped out of the race and went on TV to support Biden real fast to throw their votes to him. They had to protect their corporate owners.

Free medical care has never been about the cost of medicare - most companies would save a LOT of money if they are no longer on the hook for providing medical to employees - many business owners who have actually studied the costs to their business are backing single payer schemes Sanders has proposed.

No! The REAL problem for corporations is that if a person gets free family medical is that employees will no longer be under the thumb of tyrant business owners. People stay at shit jobs they hate because if they leave they lose their medical. In Canada, if I quit any job I can still get cancer treatments - if I get a new cancer every year for 20 years there is no pre-existing condition - it's 100% free even if all the operations and drugs run a BILLION dollars - it's covered. If my boss is a dickhead I can quit. I do not have to suffer for 5 years for such a scumbag. And if the boss knows he holds the power of life and death over your family - well he has more power to be a dickhead to you. Power corrupts absolutely.

The rest of the first world citizenry has figured this out and are successful countries where there are lots and lots of millionaires and the people have more social benefits. A lot of Americans know this - perhaps because they have lived and travelled abroad and seen first hand the benefits.

Bernie's Home State see what Bernie is about and their citizens elect him all the time borders Canada. The people in that state of Vermont probably travel to Canada a lot on camping trips - look around and think WTF we should do that. And they should. If America adopted the Canadian Medical system America would be able to do it better and include more because the economy is so much larger in the US and there is deeper medical infrastructure already in place.

If I were American I would be in the camp voting for Biden only because the other option was a $^&@wit.
