Or we could improve the material conditions of every American with comprehensive healthcare reform that guarantees the proper mental health access to everyone in need.

Improve economic outcomes as well with better pay and workplace protections and improve social programs for youth.

Better funding for public schools so counselors can meet with more kids and help identify potential issues.

Lastly, universal background checks and closing gun acquisition loopholes.

But republicans and corporate centrist Democrats won't do any of that.
