414. So, without doing the work to replace Democrats with better Democrats,

How do you possibly think we could keep them honest, that is, keep them from selling out to the health care industry and other entrenched interests themselves? Such as the Blue Dog Democrats. We could split the vote: just in the primaries.

Republicans and Conservatives are in a dying demographic, and whereas they are still dangerous, we have to begin to take advantage of this.

Furthermore, the only way to win health care reform is to be angry enough to take the health insurance companies and pharmaceutical companies apart brick-by-brick, and to outlaw the AMA for fixing the supply of doctors at 1970 levels.
