(747 posts)Sanders understands that developing single payer takes time. He's been fighting fights like this for years. Even Hillary herself was for single payer, until Big Pharma starts paying her and she changed for vision. Every president had at least one empty promise. Even Obama himself made empty promises. For example, he said that he'll crack down Wall Street. As you can see, he bailed them out on our expense, and they remained untouched while continuing their criminal activities. Even Eric Holder, on his last days as AG said we'll crackdown Wall Street, and didn't do it. Now those are a little more than empty promises. Those are called "lies." If "these people" are afraid to aim for something better for themselves, then they deserve the status quo. Some others, like myself, don't think that way.
