implement Medicare for all or spend $16 trillion to address the climate crisis.

We 100% SHOULD have a single-payer health care system and spend $16 trillion on the climate crisis - but it is unlikely.

No matter who gets elected - it is our responsibility to push and prod and demand and protest to MOVE on all of the issues that will otherwise get stalled in Congress if we wait until a future election cycle,

is happening on the state level in Illinois.

We have one of the most progressive governors in the country, and he has a Democratic super majority. Our governor is a billionaire, so they are not all bad.

GOTV people. See what Democratic leadership can accomplish in states like California and Illinois.
