lol, useless, just like sanders. want to do something real liz, introduce a bill to hold healthcare insurance ceo's personally liable for denying medically necessary and professionally ordered medical procedures and prescriptions. that'd be something. but she won't do that. holding "capitalism" accountable, whatever the fuck that means, means nothing gets done, she risks nothing, we gain nothing.

but she won't do that

Both her and sanders have repeatedly pushed for Medicare for all which would destroy the private health insurance industry.

holding "capitalism" accountable, whatever the fuck that means

Did you read the article or just the headline? Because it does have some effective means of disempowering the corporate class.

The legislation would also mandate that at least 40% of a corporation’s board of directors be chosen directly by employees

If 40% of the board of united was chosen by employees then they would have some influence in choosing a CEO that won't fire them and replace them with an ai to reject claims.
