• Thats what you get, when one party is economic hardcore neoliberalists and otherwise fascists and the other party is neoliberal reactionaries with some gay rights sprinkled in.

    There is no political left in American mainstream politics and they get fucked royally for it. But then again Americans want to get fucked over getting evil socialist things like affordable healthcare

      As an American, while I do enjoy fucking (I thought that was a universal thing for the most part) I also would really appreciate affordable (or better yet free) healthcare as well.

      We should try not to generalize that every member of a population agrees with every choice their government makes.

        Asexuality is a thing.

        I love being accused of personally overthrowing every south American country because I am from US.

      According to Gallup, most Americans do believe healthcare is the government’s responsibility (57% yes to 40% no, remainder unsure/no opinion). Meanwhile paradoxically, 53% prefer private healthcare over government-run vs 43% that would prefer government-run, so what in the actual fuck…

      America is an enigma.

        Do you have Medicare? Do you realize how shitty it is? If you don’t also buy a private plan to “fill in the gaps” you’re screwed.

          Government run healthcare doesn’t have to be shit. Unfortunately, ours is and likely always will be…

          Republican party made a lot of effort to gut Medicare as much as possible, and they are quite successful when they want to destroy something that helps other people.

        You can prefer one thing but dream of another because the current implementation sucks. It’s less an enigma and more apples to oranges.
