didn't we try the whole elect a president that would bring the change, like twice now?

In fact, looking towards history, the only time we really had change for the better is when the working poor threatened the super rich

yeah... some of you tried it.

But an actual majority voting for the Orange one instead of progress after progress after progress can also be interpreted like a part of your population wants a much worse healthcare system and/or is very stupid.

and/or is very stupid

Yes. We have a rigged system with propaganda and a poor educational system by design. This is very powerful and possibly unstoppable at this point. The main reasons our stupid populous vote against their own interests. They are stupid, but it's not necessarily their fault. Again, propaganda and education.

This is not an easy problem to solve. Mercing CEOs might be the only option... The whole voting and playing by "the rules" isn't working. The rich are getting richer, poor poorer, and corruption is becoming even more acceptable and in our faces.

If 50% of the population stop working for weeks, this should be a lot more effective than "mercing" anyone.

[-] BluJay320@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 4 days ago

Yes, let us all just starve and get evicted. Most of us are barely scraping by while we are working 40+ hr weeks. Forfeiting our meager incomes simply isn’t an option if we want to, you know, survive.

[-] lemmydividebyzero@reddthat.com 1 points 4 days ago

Tell me, you really need unions without actually telling me...

If you think that going to jail because of "mercing" a CEO is the better solution...

I’m not sure if you realize this if you are outside the US, but debt in the country is at or near all time highs. Over 70% of people live paycheck to paycheck (some of those don’t have expenses fully covered, even), and roughly 10% are below the poverty line. Unfortunately, as much as many of us would like to strike, we don’t have the resources. A weeks long strike would mean many people couldn’t feed themselves or their children, or even afford basic necessities. The other issue is that many of those involved in all the MAGA nonsense will call for violence against protestors, even do things like drive a car through a crowd of them.

oh ya, I too forgot that black president existed. who in an act of pure bipartisan appeasement decided to create the Affordable Care Act that we have today instead
