    Just wish the US would get a universal healthcare system like every freaking other developed country in this world. Will never happen. Ugh.

      Nah, the Republicans would rather see you spend twice as much per capita (the whole population!) to cover a third of the population via public insurance and then get you guys to then spend money on private insurance and then have to pay any time you need any care.

      You know… Fiscal responsibility…

              I don’t think they do, judging by the downvotes.

            Yes only the Republicans have a leader they listen to and built a platform on. Harris had no influence on her policy choices!

          Pretty sure she supports it, as she did 4 years ago, but her campaign told her not to show support for it in order to court the Republicans that were on the fence.

            Seems like they told her to do that with a lot of things.

            womp womp.

            I’m holding out hope that the Democrats decide to court Democrats, but based on the past few elections I don’t have very high hopes.

              Democrats: taking votes for granted that they shouldn’t be taking for granted since forever.

                Correction: Taking intelligence and empathy for granted that they shouldn’t be taking for granted, since basically social media started being a thing.

              They adopted a strategy, it didn’t work.

              Welcome to politics, you don’t always defend what you believe in.

            If you don’t support it during the campaign then you don’t get to say you secretly supported it later.

              Ah, Jacobin. Of course. The ones who said housing the homeless is not good, because it means landlords will get paid.

              Can’t wait to read their thoughts on health care. Let me guess: “Universal health care now, but not if corporations benefit too”.

      Wish granted. The government is now responsible for paying whatever premiums the health insurance companies demand. But everyone with a social security number is covered.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
