Really? Only No, and never Yes?
If that's true we're fucked and the anti-government Republicans have a structural advantage.
I can see that stricture when it comes to imperialism where cessation really is 99% of what you want, but not for anything else. Then you've always gotta have how if you want to bring pressure to bear on the government to do something.
I'm all for the simple 2 sentence part though. That's a large part of why I'm for single payer: you can explain in two sentences how and why it will work.
But to say NO TO BAD HEALTH CARE without proffering any way to improve it -- that sounds daft, to be honest. Am I misunderstanding you?
