“What’s funny about that is they assume my ambition is positional. They assume my ambition is a title or a seat. My ambition is way bigger than that. My ambition is to change this country. Presidents come and go, elected officials come and go, single payer healthcare is forever.”

    She literally told you it is not about president, masters never changed. Now you understand?

      Are you suggesting that, assuming magically Obama won president in 2025, things would be going exactly the same because “masters never changed”?

        I am saying that I was disappointed long ago seeing my friends, colleagues and others getting fooled by politicians. At least their pink glasses were striped off. As the saying goes, it has to get really bad before we see changes. The only one right now who I am interested to watch is Mamdani, he seems pretty legit so far

          Suggesting that Obama-equivalent would threaten allies with military takeover of land, tariff literally everybody fucking up the global economy, start supporting the enemy and rolling out the red carpet for Putin, or attacking Iran for absolutely no reason… is just flat out delusional.
