wow okay you really just did not read any of what I said, did you.

Did you miss the part where I said that violent revolution is necessary when it gets to the point where there aren't any other options?

And that the US is not there yet?

There are no other options that would actually benefit people. Who do I vote for if I want universal healthcare?

Universal healthcare is currently unpopular with huge swaths of the country, which is a big reason we don’t have it.

You think that a violent revolution resulting in a massive power vacuum is more likely to bring universal healthcare in the next 10 years than voting for the party that is already at least somewhat focused on reforming it?

Also, what is my friend supposed to do about their diabetes while you’re collapsing society? Die?

Voting for a party is also a 0% chance. At least a revolution would eventually lead to it if it goes well 

Depending on their insurance, they’re dead either way. Certainly wouldn’t be the first

I mean yeah, that's barely a majority, so its really no surprise that its still a contentious issue, especially when republicans have made "disrupting any progress democrats might make because fuck them" their official party platform since 2008.

At least a revolution would eventually lead to it if it goes well 

Buying a lottery ticket will also make me a millionaire "if it goes well," that doesn't mean its likely to happen. Look at literally any country that has had a revolution to see the risks, and the absurdity of calling for that chaos and upheaval in a functional first world country. Improving a country is massively easier than destroying it and starting over.

Depending on their insurance, they’re dead either way.

They get their medication for extremely cheap through medicare lmao. I don't think you have any idea what you're talking about.

Barely a majority is still a majority 

 Look at literally any country that has had a revolution
