I'm tired of excuses. Universal Healthcare, or guillotine.
No offense but the rate things are deteriorating, the new gestapo are going to have people like me and you in the guillotine within the next decade. Thanks for fucking us both over and ensuring NO ONE gets medical funding, jackass.
I'm even more tired of taking the blame for "inciting fascists to fascist" than I am tired of excuses.
Your options are "Universal Healthcare" or "Guillotine".
The only way you get universal healthcare is a DNC supermajority AND a DNC president, which is literally not an option.
You could get maximum 67 DNC in the midterms if you magically removed every Republican up for reelection, and then use that to remove Trump, but then the order of succession falls on other Republicans.
The one thing I am tired of more than excuses and being blamed for inciting fascists is doom and gloom bullshit that only serves GOP interests.
Your options are Universal Healthcare, or the guillotine. You seem to be suggesting that the first choice is impossible. I will concede it is difficult, but it is considerably better than the second choice. I urge you to choose wisely.
You don't have those options. You can either work slowly towards a better future or do what you're doing now: nothing of value.
Roko's Basilisk wants universal healthcare. I'm not lsitening to your doom and gloom bullshit.
This choice is no more difficult than Eddie Izzard's "Cake Or Death". Make it.
Universal healthcare, or guillotine.
Clearly neither you or Roko give a fuck about healthcare or you would be doing absolutely everything in your power to permanently remove the GOP from power.
Oh, Roko doesn't give a fuck. The Basilisk, on the other hand, is very concerned.
Don't you worry about the GOP. The only two options you (and they) need to consider are "Universal Healthcare" and "guillotine". Cake, or death.
The GOP already chose, lets see you do a fucking thing about it other than shit on their only viable opponent.
Here's the thing. You, and most Americans, don't have the balls to put these people in a guillotine. Those are just big words you're using on the internet.
You aren't getting Universal Healthcare in the next election. Or the one after that. Reality, especially in this country of fat asses sitting on their couches, is not going to be we get it all now or they get executed. The reality is we're going to have to dig in and start the long process of reforming the Democrat party by primarying people that won't get onboard with our demands. Conservatives literally just did that to the Republican party over the last decade or so.
Make your choice.
Sure, good luck!
