In the second video of the series, Senator Bernie Sanders debunks
several myths about President Barack Obama’s healthcare plan in
response
to a question on Twitter. Sanders is genuinely concerned about the
sources many Americans use to get information on the new healthcare
plan. Many are clearly misinformed by “the people who are lying, or, at
best, distorting reality”–people such as Rush Limbaugh and
Sarah
Palin
, to name a few. An average American needs healthcare reform
that
would ensure that America does not remain the last industrialized
country not taking its citizens’ health seriously.

Can we count on you?

In the coming election, the fate of our democracy and fundamental civil rights are on the ballot. The conservative architects of Project 2025 are scheming to institutionalize Donald Trump’s authoritarian vision across all levels of government if he should win.

Our dedicated writers have sat down with Kamala Harris and Bernie Sanders for interviews, unpacked the shallow right-wing populist appeals of J.D. Vance, and debated the pathway for a Democratic victory in November.
