People need to recognize that the mainstream media decided to end the Dean 2004 run by playing some dumb noise 24/7 for a week

He fucking orchestrated this, by getting 8 politicians not up for reelection to vote for this and acting like he and none of the other people facing elections have anything to do with it.
They are all fucking complicit.

They caved in March so they could get a better deal now. They’re caving now so they can get a better deal in some indeterminate future. The better deal is always just beyond their reach, but continuing to cave will get them there. And if you don’t agree with that, you don’t understand Politics,

I know three children who would have died if they were born in 2000 rather than the late 2010s.
This is especially true for medical care. Virtually any - any - type of cancer was a death sentence. The 5y survival rate for children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in 1960 was roughly 14%. Today it is roughly 95%.
It is genuinely hard for most people to grasp how poor the past was.
