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

    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.

    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.
