    Wow. I had never been to a Bernie Sanders healthcare town hall before. The stories that people shared spontaneously were so powerful. A brave 14 year old with cancer spoke up. You cant leave a meeting like that and think our health care system isnt crazy and cruel.

    In the U.S., an angioplasty costs $32,000. Elsewhere? Maybe $6,400. New data shows just how much more Americans pay for medical services.

    "It is absolutely appalling and toxic that you discussed who funds the Exxon Enterprise Center for Public Policy," said a bunch of Twitter people but literally nobody in the real world outside a 1 mile radius of Northwest Washington DC.
    "Twitter is not real life" is often used to pretend the left is out of touch. But the "Twitter is not real life" thing is real when it describes how millions in the real world are struggling to survive & yet the outrage on this website is when you dare criticize a Koch think tank

    37 days till Iowa. It’s going to get worse before it gets better because the billionaire class, the lobbying-industrial complex and the entire class of DC grifters know they lose power when we win. So they’re gonna throw everything they can at us. Keep working hard.

    Every now and again, I marvel at how it’s now just considered normal that anytime America tries to have an honest debate, the media’s go-to expert is either a bank lobbyist at Grift Public Affairs or a distinguished scholar at the Exxon Enteprise Institute For Public Policy
