We tried putting flowers into gun barrels in the 60's.
They went off anyway.
When we tried to pass single payer we came up 1 vote short, every single Republican voted no. They also voted no on protecting pre-existing conditions and expanding medicaid, which did pass.
Tbe American People saw this and came to the conclusion that they needed to elect more Republicans.
So, have we really tried? It doesn't seem like it to me.
