I'm a pro Union, pro Universal Health Care, pro livable Wages for workers left leaning independent and I'd tick most of those boxes.
The Democrat/Republican dichotomy is a lie to keep us distracted, most reasonable people want border security, keeping young children safe from sexualization, a stop to senseless wars and reining in out of control three letter agencies.
Universal health care kek... how stupid are you to put the government in charge of health care?
Don't be a retard, it means the government pays a health benefit from the taxes they already steal from us and every American is eligible. You pick your policy, your provider, but drug prices are set to a schedule so Pharma and TheInsurance cartel don't fuck us over.
Or are you also against Medicare and Social Security?
unironically still being said by libs in 2023. /roll
I loled at this, glad you saw it too
I completely see your point. Obama/Romney Care was a total scam.
ACA is a handout to the insurance cartel.
You need to read some Thomas Sowell.
And it's amusing that you think that pharma and insurance companies won't just corrupt the government (oh wait, they already have) to enrich themselves.
Exactly, They are the same people. Pharma companies are headed by people that just left the FDA who are headed by people that just left the pharma company.
But sure, universal Healthcare will change that according to the dummy you're responding to.
I'm in favor of universal health care as long as it comes with a requirement of 100 IQ or higher to qualify.
Yes I am. They are scams and pyramid schemes designed to bilk the average retard into paying the government for poor service.
healthcare is only expensive BECAUSE THE GOVERNMENT STUCK ITS DICK IN
This is superficially true, but it is because Pharma and The Insurance Cartel stuck their dicks in the government. Our government's health policies have been fully captured since the Nixon era.
Obama/Romney care is a prime example of that, a mandate for the people with zero price control on prescription schedules or insurance cost.
Follow the money, see who benefits and who lobbies.
HISSSSSSSSSSS
The Question is:
would you vote for DeSantis over Biden knowing he isn't going to support your economic policy priorities?
Lots of libs say they agree with the Right on various things, but then they turn right around and keep Voting Blue No Matter Who.
First, fuck no! And I did not vote for Biden or Clinton.
I like DeSantis stance on immigration and culture war and keeping gender theory and hypersexualization out of schools, but he is the same shit as Biden on everything else.
Right now, RFK jr. is (in my opinion) the only decent candidate.
If he does not become the nominee (and he won't), I won't be voting "blue" this election either.
Well you're a leftist, so that tracks.
i like rfk over biden but the man sounds like a zombie that's learned to talk
he's never going to win
I'm obviously not American, so I differ from most right-wing Americans on economic issues. If it's a Romney vs. Obama, I'd have supported Obama, but DeSantis vs. Biden it's DeSantis. Culture is more important than GDP and money.
Now you'll say this is because RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA, which is ironic because back in 2012 I probably agreed with Romney more on that specific issue (pls don't tell my boss in the FSB).
Not at all.
Quite frankly as far as I'm concerned, the Ukraine war is basically over - at least for the US.
It's stalemated. Russia can't really accomplish anything offensively, & Ukraine will similarly be able to not accomplish much offensively.
Just like COVID - it's over. It's still there, it's just that nobody is going to care anymore.
At this point Europe can take over supplying Ukraine while the US pivots to China.
A while back, you were bragging that "Ukraine kept rolling". I have not seen any boasts about their recent counteroffensive.
I do love to see German and US tanks in flames (though I hope the crew survived).
You may not care, but your ruling class does, and will continue to care. Obviously not out of any love for Ukrainians.
Ah yes, your dogs that you can set at will on your enemies. Using your fiefs to fund the conquest of yet more fiefs.
You say that but then go on to list several issues on which the parties have very significant policy differences. If the Republicans held all the power things would be very, very different on those issues than if Democrats held it. That's no false dichotomy.
Now, I suppose what you're trying to get at is that there are some similar pathological aspects to both parties, for example the #1 issue for either party is preserving that party's political power by whatever means necessary. I'd love to see those issues addressed with things like campaign finance reform, more term limits, and getting rid of the asinine winner take all voting system we have, for example.
But don't spin those common problems up into something like 'the parties are the same'. They are not. Not even close. Their policies are wildly different, as is there voter base. You do yourself and others a disservice when you suggest they are very similar.
That is not what I meant when I said false dichotomy.
What I meant is the false choice that you must choose between the two factions of the UniParty.
Most elections I dislike BOTH parties, and they are BOTH invested in us not having a different viable choice.
Yes, I agree that both parties are fundamentally invested in the perpetuation of the two party system. And yeah, I do think that's bad for America as we're often left with a couple of crappy candidates to choose from. We desperately need something like proportional voting.
That said, just because both parties agree on this particular bad policy hardly makes them a Uniparty. Go and look at their platforms. Vastly different. Go and look at the congressional voting records. Vastly different, and usually along party lines.
Hell, just contrast the current administration with the previous one. Very, VERY different priorities and very VERY different impacts on your liberty and the eventual fate of this country.
Completely wrong. For one, republicans had power during Trumps term. What exactly did they do to solve any of the above issues? Thats right, zero. Republicans are all talk. Second, outside of the border and war funding, those issues are all petty as fuck. No one, from either party cares about them. Its just what they say to get you locked into their system. Once either party gets elected, then its all unanimous voting on more funding for government programs, more rights taken away, and more power for them. The left/right dichotomy in this country is all theater.
You're right to criticize Republicans. They deserve it, and I'm sure we could both sit around and come up with plenty of reasons why.
But I just don't know how you get from there to 'they're just as bad as the dems', which is what you seem to be saying. I mean, sure they share some of the same pathologies, like ever increasing funding to entitlements like social security, medicare, etc, but much of that is realpolitik.
Just go and compare the official party platforms. They are VERY different, and representatives tend to vote along the lines of the party platform in most cases. You say that it's all unanimous voting for more govt. program funding and taking rights, but that just isn't the case. Go and review the congressional voting records on the "Inflation Reduction Act" or any major bill that deals with any of those issues and you will find a stark division along party lines in most cases.
But that's a bit abstract. For a nice, concrete examples just look at the current administration as a whole. They have been a disaster for this country on so many issues that are important to me and (i would imagine) to you as well. Now, contrast that with the last Republican administration. Yeah, the Reps. weren't great, but are you really here to tell me that you wouldn't rather have them in power right now?
