Day 180:
Time To Counter Punch:
When your opponent is on the ropes, and about about to fall, do not just sit there and let them get their stamina back, punch them in the god damn face! What that tortured political metaphore means is that now that the republicans Tax cut bill pretending to be a health care law has failed, its time to propose single payer.
A well crafted single payer universal medicare for all style health care plan would fix everything wrong with Obamacare, and a whole lot more. Its a good plan, and unlike the republicans plan would be easy to defend, because its good for the people.
If the democrats don’t fight back, and don’t propose their own plan then you know they are worthless. Call up your democratic senator or representative, tell them you want universal single payer medicare for all style health care, and you want them to fight for it, or lose their job to a progressive that will.
Vote or be ground under the wheel of greed.
