Yeah I agree with that to a certain extent, however it’s not like the two were unlinked. I mean one of Trump’s plans is to destroy Medicare. Also to destroy the regular framework of our nation. How are things like cost of living, housing, and Healthcare not part of the whole threat to democracy thing? It’s all the same fight.
Medicare for all and legal weed has been polling at above or around 70% for a few years now. What we want doesn’t translate into laws even with overwhelming support unless it also makes rich people richer. It’s no secret why people don’t trust their representative to represent them, because they don’t.

Yes, and if we give up our democracy, we lose any power we have to address the other issues.
This argument would carry more weight if people thought those we elect were interested in actually addressing those issues.

Didn’t they put something in the constitution for that?
