I believe your representatives could do something if people started voting in their best interest.

Both parties are bought and paid for by the same plutocrats.

A basic social safety net in a first world country should be the standard

The United States is a third world shithole that mascarades as first world (see bribes as previously mentioned).

The general populous in the US is too conservative and resistant to change.

Mandami shows that to be untrue. The Epstein class has merely kept the political system from ensuring the wellbeing of the population (see bribes above).

Even if I had cancer and UHC denied to give me healthcare treatment killing the CEO wouldn’t immediately resolve my issues with denials.

Maybe. Maybe it'll change the calculation to make it too expensive to deny people care/living wages (See Paper Mario).

The policies applied are horrible but that doesn’t justify murder.

"Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable." -Kennedy

~~Soap box~~ (See, e.g., Colbert and the like)

Ballot box (watch the games that are already kicking off about this, especially with support from the bribes as previously mentioned)

~~Jury box~~

Ammo box

They're essentially defending social darwinism and social murder. This person's mind is fully cooked.

No that is not what I was saying. I'm saying the system is broken and the root cause. Fix the problem by changing the system, not by murdering random individuals that are part of the current system. That only causes more pain and suffering

The individuals causing the issue IS the system. This is how it's always supposed to work, there is always a populace business people need to subjugate. Through history. Stop thinking the system is broken and needs fixing. It needs tearing out with all the horrible people in it.
