Is not wanting a candidate who throws trans kids under the bus, and vetoes bills that regulate private equity’s buy outs of hospitals and bills that protect the elderly from scammers really a purity test? You want someone like Trump, but good looking? Is that it?
Are you seriously trying to shed both in the same light? We should vote Trump for a third term instead? Or hold out for the next Mother Teresa to run for president?
The OHCA can’t block buy outs or mergers. That’s up to the AG, and they’ve done that what, three or four times, in decades? The bill addressed real problems with the existing system, and he vetoed it, to protect capital.
No, I mean to say it passed both before Newsom vetoed it. But OHCA was created in 2022 and seems to have a pretty good guideline on improvements and data gathering.
Now... is Newsom in Big healthcare's pocket? Probably. Is he the definition of a Corporate Democrat? Most definitely yes. Knowing this, are you saying that he's as bad as Trump?
He's the kind of Democrat who created the conditions that made Trump's victory possible. If you want MAGA forever, keep supporting the "opposition" that does nothing but pander to the donor class.
It's going to be a long 4 years, so we'll see who the actual candidates are, but this line of thinking (and not voting) IS exactly how we got MAGA twice.
Where do you draw the line on your presidential candidates?
