Left-Wing Activist Armed with Lightsaber Gets Owned by 1 Question About Obamacare By Cillian Zeal

As you no doubt heard last week, May 4 is Star Wars Day, as in, “May the fourth be with you.” I know. We’re a very punny society.
To mark the event, a liberal group calling itself Health Care Voter decided to hold a lightsaber rally in a Washington D.C. I’ve never heard of them and there isn’t much on their webpage, but apparently Alyssa Milano is a co-chair of the group.
If a video from the fine leftists over at Now This is any indication, the event was very much a modest gathering (I’ve had larger dinner parties) where a panoply of Star Wars ephemera — lightsabers, cosplay, John Williams’ “Imperial March” — were on display in defense of Obamacare.
Apparently, May 4 was chosen because it was the one year anniversary of the health care repeal bill’s passage by the House of Representatives and not because it was a good way to get hipsters out.
Mika, the main event organizer and a supporter of the Affordable Care Act, was featured prominently in the video. “We’re here to make sure that the 217 Empire lawmakers who voted for the bill (to repeal Obamacare) are held accountable,” she said, wielding a lightsaber clad in a Health Care Voter T-shirt and a Yoda cap.
Oh burn. She called those who voted to repeal one of the great disasters of our time members of the Empire! We’re regular Palpatines, all of us who think the free market can provide better quality health care at a cheaper cost if we simply allow actual competition. We’re building a veritable Death Star … of more choices at lower price points.
Perhaps I’m being a bit snooty here. I mean, Mika surely knows about Obamacare and the benefits and pitfalls of it, right?
