In reply to the discussion: If ACA is struck down, are you really so naive as to think single-payer will come to the rescue? [View all]tcaudilllg
(1,553 posts)A constitutional convention should be considered. That would, obviously, throw the laws into question, for many, and set the gears in motion for a revolt (which would be brief, no doubt reflecting the contempt of the center for radical right selfishness, not to mention that we would all be better off with universal care!)
In the meantime, other options should be explored to crush the existing system and replace it with a suitable alternative. After all, we're in a state of upheaval, right?
- local pacts should be made to ignore the rulings of the supreme court. Alternative courts should be set up. Enlistment of police officers would of course be preferred.
- politicians should be brought into line via politics of personal destruction. Mobilize factions and discredit outcomes that don't favor us. Opponent media figures should be strongly demonized.
- the insurance industry should be wiped out. Mass dis-enrollment drives should occur. County to county, local to local. People should stop paying their medical bills. Credit unions should be enlisted in a drive to ignore the presence of unpaid medical bills when calculating credit scores (this should happen anyway). Absolute disengagement from the radical right is required. Stop buying Dominoes, Hanes, Intel... the works.
- You're with us or against us: people who criticize our methods should be treated as apart from the movement and targeted for character assassination.
Radical answers from the highest branches of government require radical solutions.
