Don’t threaten me with a good time.
What we see from the outside, is that a lot of people (poors, rednecks, trailer park people, etc) voted for him to gut ObamaCare, not knowing they were on it too… All those people don’t want to pay for others healthcare even if they themselves don’t pay a penny in taxes and get them for free.
They liked the Affordable Care Act, they just didn’t like Obamacare.
I remember seeing articles about this, that people were shocked to learn that the ACA was the same as ‘Obamacare.’
Exactly.
BUT THAT AINT MUH TEAM
That’s right, because obviously Obamacare was Black Medicine.
Da Voodoo strong wif dis one.
It’s even worse than that
If you were chatting with them and you used the proper name “Affordable Care Act” or ACA to describe Obamacare they would immediately think it is a dog whistle for communism and that it was just a way for liberals to rebrand Obamacare. Their entire universe is backwards, inside out, and upside down.
Osho was right. Successful democracy relies on the people’s collective intelligence. Unfortunately, some demographics are running on a deficit of intelligence and/or factual information.
Osho is not a good role model. And that is a pretty fashy line of thinking…
Is it? Or are you mixing up “demographic” with “ethnicity”? People who are raised in an environment that does not promote individual thought (like overly religious or politically one-sided groups, or any setting where tribal mentality is dominant) will not have access to the same quality of information, and will likely be subjected to some kind of indoctrination. Adoption of the group’s ideals may be forced by societal pressure, and resistance may be met with punishment. A child exposed to a constant rhetoric about how “those dang dirty democrats are stealing our tax dollars and lying about everything, believe your daddy” and no way to confirm or deny it will likely grow up to be an adult repeating that rhetoric. I know because I used to be like that, and it took massive conscious effort to unlearn it.
Also, I literally only know of Osho from that one clip and have no interest in researching a religious leader, reason above.
lol someone from .ml trying to correct your thought crime
they probably think that not having children is eco fascism
No… just that generalising like this, and saying some groups are “intellectually deficient”, even if you don’t mean race or ethnicity, still is unscientific and unhelpful.
The mistake of race and racism wasn’t the specifics of discrimination on skin color. It’s discriminating whole groups based off of vibes and arbitrary boxes.
Bigotry and hatred are all about confirming your own status, even if those confirmatory actions hurt everybody, including you. As bigotry and hatred are illogical, however, you just say “but [outgroup] is being hurt more than I am!” and laugh it off, even as your family suffers.
People with low enough income would be on Medicaid, which basically covers everything 100%
Back in 2015, he said that if Secretary Clinton was elected president, there would be a taco truck on every corner. Why he stumps for the other side, I never understand.
I would love to have taco trucks in every corner. That sounds amazing.
I live in Los Angeles… I can confirm it is amazing having taco trucks on every corner.
I live in San Diego… I too can confirm having taco trucks on every corner is amazing.
I live in the NorthEast … I’ve seen a taco truck only in my dreams.
I’ve seen one or two in Minneapolis, not great, but I don’t like black beans. Issue really comes down to the inability to get the same fresh ingredients.
I thought that was the head of Latinos for Trump, not Trump himself.
Right you are, sir.
Lol I wish she was that cool
“Trump endorses Harris”
As a Swede I approve.
As a Spaniard I concur
I did not expect the Spanish concursion
Their primary weapon is agreement
As a normal, run of the mill, Lemmy shit poster, I’m on your side, in the same boat, singing to the choir and agreeing.
As a German, I’m never not appalled that the richest country in the world doesn’t have what is considered normal in all other Western democracies. It’s insane.
As a medical resident, I also concur.
As someone with a ridiculous amount of medical debt incurred over a couple of years, I will also give my approval.
But do you concur
Let me think about it…
Yes.
Warns. lol. best ad yet for Kamala
Play that soundbite over footage of sick children with parents who can’t afford healthcare.
He thinks that’s a bad thing, because it means people who already have healthcare would have longer lines at the doctor and more wait for services.
Except in reality universe healthcare = more preventative care = shorter lines for the ER and fewer critical cases cause people got taken care of earlier.
Universal healthcare would mean less demand for emergency care.
also (australia here), i don’t think i’ve ever waited more than a week to see my specific doctor, and i can usually find someone that day if it’s urgent?
oh also i can call a number and get a doctor to come to my house in a few hours
also it’s all free (other than taxes, but i guarantee my taxes are cheaper than insurance!… and you can pay more for more luxury care - which the government subsidises the same amount)
… also also i still have private insurance for some “make life nicer” non-necessities
A question - do you think these are all from stupidity?
The R politicians are so stupid that they say things about D candidate which make you like the latter more?
You think you are smarter than such powerful people?
There’s such a thing as match-fixing in team sports.
Yeah guys just hold your breath for that free healthcare. Fucking LOL.
Seriously though at least she’s a little better than that asshole. But free healthcare is a pipe dream.
Dems are never as cool as Republicans make them out to be.
The Trump campaign’s approach to this whole thing seems to be identical to the CCP’s approach to propaganda against the American military – make it look awesome. Neither one makes any sense to me, but I enjoy both.
Sort of like those old Mac vs PC commercials where everyone liked the PC guy more
John Hodgman for president
Soo…Kamalacare?
And then he complains that she laughs. In case you haven’t noticed, Dotard, we’re all laughing. At you.
If only he could say something true instead of only lies. Just this once.
When you politics so hard you start making fake populist promises for your opponent
Does anyone else think Americans seem to enjoy making things harder for themselves just so they can talk about the adversity they overcame?
They make healthcare paid for so you need to either be super rich or so popular you can easily fund raise a small fortune because you’ll bankrupt yourself for life just to call an ambulance.
I saw George Thorogood at the OC Fairground in 2019 and the guy who supported him was talking about how he had a kidney transplant and how proud everyone should be that they’re American because if he lived in any other country he would have died. Ridiculous.
Not the best choice of words.
