    They also bragged about ending child poverty in the 2022 election cycle and then got rid of pandemic help programs causing one of the most dramatic increases in child poverty in US history.

    The economy is good tho. Get back to work.

    POV: You believe health care should be a right, not a privilege, in America.

    Furthermore, we estimate that ensuring healthcare access for all Americans would save over 68,000 lives and 1.73 million life-years every year.
    We calculate that a single-payer, universal healthcare system is likely to lead to a 13% savings in national healthcare expenditure, equivalent to over $450 billion annually.

    https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8572548/

    Every president or presidential candidate who is against universal healthcare is essentially saying that they are willing to allow a quarter of a million people to die (and waste 2 trillion dollars) over the course of their term in order to protect the profits of healthcare companies. Do they really expect us to forget the fact that most prominent Democrats supported that level of social murder only a few years ago?

      I’ll never forget that moment in the 2016 dem debates when they were asked if they supported universal healthcare to raise their hands, there were like 10 candidates up there including copmala and only Bernie and Elizabeth Warren raised their hands

          And in the 2020 primary debates Harris did raise her hand and the next day her campaign staff walked it back. Twice, iirc.

    I saw somewhere that they finally used the POV thing accurately because “you” (POV) actually believe healthcare is a right and you’re looking at two people who don’t.

    It’s so embarassing even by lib standards:

    the-democrat: “Ok, with the tax base we have…here’s some of that to fund police…”

    amerikkka-clap: “Ok.”

    the-democrat: “…And fire departments…”

    amerikkka-clap: “Ok”

    the-democrat: “…and a corn subsidy…”

    amerikkka-clap: “Ok”

    the-democrat: “And hospitals. I suppose they’re infrastructure too.”

    joker-amerikkklap: “STOP RIGHT THERE, STALIN!”

        I think yelling impotently is fine. That’s what most of us can go. It’s just that people are saying very stupid shit in there. I scrolled past 25 or so replies and only one correctly said that Biden has obstructed universal healthcare multiple times. Apart from that there is an obscene number of accounts, both of political organisations and ostensibly normal people, saying that by providing free healthcare you are stealing someone else’s labour. Then there is a bunch of people saying Obamacare made healthcare moee expensive.

      The angle of his arm is pretty strange for having a phone in his hand that he’s controlling enough to take a picture. I think maybe he didn’t take it, and it’s the weird attempt at feigning a selfie that makes them look even more fake than usual.
