Until I actually see people’s balances get reduced on some official letterhead, I’m not holding out any hope.

Exactly. I look to healthcare as an analogue. The Dems passed the GOP’s healthcare plan for them going on 13 years ago now. Unsurprisingly, it’s been woefully inadequate. Healthcare costs and medical debt have only increased. A global pandemic killed 1M+ people in the US, a third of which would likely be alive if the US had a humane healthcare system. Despite all that, any possibility of single-payer or even a milquetoast public option isn’t just off the table, it’s not even in the fucking building. :doomer:
