        The answer is to fight for a healthcare system that covers all health (including mental) instead of trying to be the most effective funnel of money from the poor into the coffers of the rich.

        Sadly, the people who are most lacking in mental health support are largely the ones who actively fight against such a structure (because propaganda works).

          Tell me how we do that exactly? Just keep voting and hope that some kind of policy goes through and hopefully before you finally blow your brains out?

            You seem to think that box #2 is the last hope. I’m not ready to give up on that one yet. But if things get so bad that the ballot box truly doesn’t matter any more, we still have two more to defend liberty with. I hope we never again need the fourth box.

            Throwing your hands in the air and saying “it’s too rigged, there’s no hope” is exactly what the opps want.
