What twisted fucked up naive world view does this come from. These people are poor, vulnerable and sick. You should be ashamed of yourself.
Why don't I throw you in a cage, and then you can try voting for someone to advocate for your release.
The point is the seniors need help now, not being told to go organize. The healthcare system is broken, and until you get sucked into it, you don't understand the extent of it.
It's different for people less fortunate than ourselves. We all mostly work tech jobs with great pay and decent insurance. These people don't have that. A lot of them can't pay for food.
I think the point was that seniors as a demographic generally vote for politicians that don’t support those policies, against the wishes of the majority of the rest of the population.
This is an overly paternalistic point of view that robs these people of their agency.
They've spent their lives participating and interacting within the current political framework. Blaming all problems at the feet of "morally bankrupt leaders" is hyperbolic populist rhetoric to absolve personal responsibility.

So yeah, I'm doubling down. Downvote away.
