54. Yes I was. That's why I thought we would get Medicare for All.
That would have been much better than Romney Care but harder in that it goes against Modern Republican Values, the ones that destroyed our economy and national security.

Yes, I was listening to you saying Change is Hard. That's why I thought you wouldn't take the easy road and endorse more offshore drilling-- we could do that later-- I thought you would take the hard road of decentralizing our power sources-- getting hundreds of thousands of solar, wind and conservation projects up and running-- putting millions of us back to work while Republicans shouted about how horribly socialist that was.

Yes I was listening to you saying Change is Hard. That's why I thought you wouldn't push for more nuclear plants just to show you could stand up to environmentalists-- that's not hard. That's easy. Standing up to fossil fuel giants is hard.

Standing up to giant multinational corporations is hard-- shoving millions of people full of hope for a new FDR aside is easy-- we've been trampled for decades. We're used to it.

Try shoving multinational corporate power aside-- that is the "Change is Hard" that I believed you wanted to pursue.
