or people who are concerned about environmental issues, and dislike the idea of deregulating in that regard

Exactly, of course the alternative to a trans ban, would be a full psych exam for all candidates which is hugely expensive

sure but we're also talking about people who want universal healthcare

those two could arguably go hand in hand even

The environment issues is partially narrative control though, republicans need to come out and say we are sciencing our way through it, here is the research investments we are making...

right but people want those regulations because they dont trust corporations

which, to be fair to them, is generally a good plan

But is universal healthcare reason #1 of 2 for why people vote, i don't think so

they just need to apply it consistently

There are lots of people who are pro universal healthcare who vote republican

And republicans are obviously not the party of free market capitalism

as of 2018, gallup polling put healthcare as a top3 issue, along with economy and immigration

way wahmen are treated is 4th lol

Healthcare is in top 3 or universal healthcare?

also right now you're getting a partisan backlash to bad orange man XD

healthcare in general. Given that the Dems have made healthcare a priority, whether or not you agree with their solution, shouldnt this have an effect on their numbers/support base?

Orange man bad is also narrative control

We can all agree repeal the 19tho so wts It matter beemann ;)

👌 👌

a portion of it is narrative control

but even most trump supporters I hear from are not super impressed with many of trump's decisions

Republicans are for healthcare cost control, but noone hears how they are going about it

I think a lot of people just want gibs, not budget balancing tbh. I suspect also that balancing the budget is a losing battle. Every country runs on debt now

China and Japan own a crap ton of our debt.

Yup

China is also starting to own a crap ton of your stock market

Have fun with that one

Right.

Nobody cares though

Cause noone has the balls in government to say "fixing your life is not my job" i.e. check the 10th ammendent for that

They will once reality sets in :^)

They won't do it because it will 100% lose them those votes

I’d argue that most health problems are caused by lifestyle choices

Yeah I think that's undeniable

Thats the problem with people replacing god with politics

Government research should go into gene therapy and it would solve another portion.

I think most health issues result from logevity being extended

A good chunk of the people advocating universal healthcare are also the sort to hate it when there's social or political pressure to conform to standards
I don't think that's the case on either front re: politics+god

They can keep you going forever

If government made itself less complex to understand, we would better communicate the tradeoffs in the "free" benifits. Also federalism would resolve a lot of it

I think that's gonna be a hard sell after Alabama and Georgia
