I only listened to the beginning and got stuck very quickly. If you want to discard the fact that today, we still don't have free healthcare even though most Democrats have always argued that that's exactly what we need and what they will work on as "of course they never did it" because "they never meant it" in the first place, and you take THAT as an excuse for the current pervasive cynicism that led people to either not vote or vote for Trump... you ARE the perfect example of "low culture", especially when it comes to political literacy.

The democratic process means that ANY politician will always have to compromise with 400 other representatives in Congress, and with the Senate, and with the president. That is what DEMOCRACY means.

There are no silver bullets in a democracy. So look at what Democrats achieved over the last few decades, and you cannot but see that they did EXACTLY what they promised: using the democratic process to get us closer and closer to universal, free healthcare.

Reject that as "not enough" and YOU are the cynical, low-political-literacy guy who are part of the problem, not the solution!
