Later rather than sooner, I came across this one.
Will Talks Idaho Medicaid Expansion Documentary
Which is to say, Will from Chapo TH talks to some filmmakers, but the interesting part is the story told in their documentary.
It seems a young couple in Idaho took to traveling the state in their RV, advocating for a ballot measure that would give everyone in the state something they wanted, in the form of more access to health care, with no cost to them as state taxpayers. Basically just agreeing to take federal money for the purpose.
The ballot measure passed.
The state legislature responded by trying to invalidate this ballot measure, and by trying to dump the process of ballot measures altogether.
The story is still playing out up there.
The moral is that voting for this politician or that one is pointless, but direct local action is not.
Anarchy now.
