Ayyyyyyy! Some people are starting to get it! Somehow the right can rally around their party but the left never seems to do that because the conversations always get hijacked by certain sects.
“I’m not voting because neither candidate is good” thereby ensuring the worse candidate gets elected because REPUBLICANS ACTUALLY VOTE

Too many leftists concern themselves with purity politics rather than legitimate harm reduction

3 choices 2 outcomes is what I always tell ppl who don’t vote.

yeah, it’s a mixture of people who want fully government-ran healthcare and those who simply want to ensure full coverage with a mixture of public/private options but it’s the vast majority

I don’t think they understand that policy instead just readily true either. They don’t want to hear about incrementalism and how we have to slowly convince others, they want shit now and don’t want to accept that there are enough people that disagree with them that will vote against them.

yeah, some leftist policies are still unpopular, there are others, like universal healthcare, that are def popular tho, incrementalism can be frustrating but it’s the most realistic way to achieve change in the current system without violent upheaval

Universal healthcare is popular…but no one actually knows what universal healthcare even means. The polling that was done on it is a disastrous mess, but people only want to walk away with that people want it. I’ll need to find the polling data on it again.

Which makes sense. The Netherlands has “universal healthcare” but that’s really just “everyone needs to have basic health insurance”. A handful of private companies administer and sell it, they’re regulated on what they have to cover, and the government tells them how much they can charge. I think the avg American doesn’t realize you can have this system and still call it “universal healthcare”

I haven’t seen this one. I’ve only seen the older ones from the 2016-2020 elections that more or less were poorly made imo because the questions weren’t pointed enough.

Even this question kinda sucks. Unless it’s intentionally vague? Some people could think this means the federal government is directly managing the insurance instead of just saying “everyone must have health insurance”
