Only few dems actually support universal Healthcare, unfortunately, and the majority don't care about anything but lining their pockets. It's the same with the GOP, of course.

That being said, of course vote for dems if your only other option is reps. What's bad is better than what's terrible. However, don't simply vote and be done with it.

Educate yourself. Improve your life. Exercise, organize, teach. Grassroots praxis is where you can meaningfully improve the lives of your community, and carry that momentum elsewhere. The two party system isn't going to be corrected purely via electoralism, it's a stop-gap to prevent sliding into fascism.
