Who is behind the Partnership for America's Healtcare Future??

I watch YouTube a lot and I am constantly getting an ad that says
"Politicians are pushing one size fits all health plans. Medicare for all, Medicare buy-in and a public option all mean the same thing: you would pay more and wait longer for worse care."
It then directs you to this website: https://americashealthcarefuture.org/

What are Democrats going to do to counter this constant and well backed propaganda. I also would like to know who is paying for it. I have given it thumbs down many times, but it still comes on. I really tees me off to have to sit through it so, to get rid of it , I immediatly hit the back arrow and the forward arrow and am given a different ad to watch before the awaited video. I would like to know if there is an organization I can donate to to counter this s*%t. Thanks, Sage

Bothsiderism and suddenly "Moderate Conservatives" popping up all over (Cornfield Resistance)




Driftglass and Bluegal want you to watch for Conservative Commentators who are very scared right now of the probability of a Republican wipe-out in the upcoming elections. They repeatedly will propound that both sides are equally bad. These Republicans in sheep's clothing now swear they are really just moderates who never really supported Trumpism.

Trumpism and Modern American Feudalism



I found this conversation with Sam Vaknin very enlightening. He believes that there are only two economic systems in the world: Capitalism and Feudalism.

Vaknin says that Capitalism always deteriorates into some form of Feudalism as did Communist Russia, Nazi Germany and the
present day US.
Feudalism is defined by
*Enormous income inequality- 100 of the richest Americans own 50% of The World's wealth.
*Lack of upward mobility for the working class.
*Politics and the economy are controlled by Family Dynasties and there is glorification of those dynasties. IE" the Royals" and the
Trump family imitation of "The Royals"
* There is absence of inflation because prices are set by the elites.
* There is lack of geographical mobility.
* Anti-Globalization and anti Global trade sentiment is strong. IE: immigration policies, trade sanctions.
* Lack of rebellion by citizens, because people prefer safety and security to economic and social opportunity.
