In reply to the discussion: Will the Democratic Party unify under Hillary or split in two [View all]PyaarRevolution
(814 posts)There's no give a little to get a little. I feel like I'm being told BY Hillary's campaign to compromise(IF that's even an option) or to just completely drop the issue. This is a real problem.
It's like join us on everything or get left behind.
Look I don't expect ideological purity, I expect reality and not forcing some of the worst financial vultures to come to heel is just keeping people suffering excruciating pain, figuratively and literally. I am asking for tuition free college, breaking up the banks, Medicare for all and I'd even take a pathway to "Weed legalization".
We need tuition free college because having people take and receive majors on what they are passionate about without debt hanging over their head will see a percentage of them go out, take risk, innovate and create new, possibly breakthrough enterprises. If we have them take a career out of fear and to make money then their creativity won't bloom and enrich society as a whole.
The same goes for Medicare in addition to more companies just hiring people. The cost of Health Insurance is stagnating growth for all but the biggest corporations. Hollywood is going out of town to Canada for many productions and Toyota is going out of the U.S. because even the South is too expensive when you have to provide Health Insurance for workers.
p.s. Oh and with Compromise you lose. A better push would be towards creating Consensus then everyone feels like they win.
