    It perplexes me that the American left is simply not interested in transforming this into a political movement. Not assassination, but leveraging the public outcry and support for healthcare reform in the wake of the assassination.

    The problem isn’t lack of interest it’s that we can’t transform anything into a movement. If we could just create movements then we would have had free healthcare before this ever happened.

      we will be subverted by the surveilliance state at every single incremental attempt to build a leftist movement of any specific issue

      meanwhile the right is deliberately ignored and allowed to drive their form of populism only hindered by the political leadership infighting
