Turned down over 5 promotions

To still be on the ground.

It really shows the decline in a party when lifelong supporters like that turn their backs

Tbf, the office work associated with US healthcare is such a shit storm I'd turn down a promotion too

Hey, I'll be honest. Former Democrat here that lost faith in the party around 2014.

Same here

He wasn't exactly a supporter though. He just didn't change his democratic card for a while.

I'm more of a center right kinda guy though

Wow congratulations y'all, you dodged cult membership lol

it's getting more and more culty the more they lose

What really needs to happen is reform in so many systems. The millitary industrial complex, the two party establishment, the healthcare system, the prison system.

Pretty much every single system of government in the country needs reform desperately or things will only get worse.

The problem is its a never ending circle. The government has become so bloated and self serving in every direction that good change almost never happens. Every time real reform is ever considered it gets twisted into a bigger government failure if it ever reaches law.

I feel you

It's not dystopian beyond salvage. Realistically we need comprehensive reform to make healthcare affordable, and preferably to eradicate private prisons in general.

Oh God the military industrial complex argument. Brb going to copy paste my essay refuting this.

"this looks like a good idea law, let me tack this bad idea I want to get passed onto it"

My being gripe at present is the nationalization of healthcare argument. It shouldn't be an argument of privatization to the point of a hospital visit becoming a death sentence, nor should we entrust the state to administer superior care.

Just prevent inflation and introduce legislation to make healthcare affordable.

Stop letting insurance companies essentially write the laws and costs will go down

They have soooo much influence

Bingo. It's not such an anti-capitalism argument to propose the removal of laws protecting monopolies.

In the end, Americans want affordable healthcare. Don't go launching an ACA or introducing grand new systems, just reform what we already have in place.

The government should only regulate services, and lightly at that. Being the provider just means you're guaranteed that your healthcare is being provided by the lowest bidder

This is the issue I raise with the majority of Dem candidates. Their proposals come off as grandiose and naively underdeveloped.

and not actually attacking the cause of the problem

Because the bills they are proposing aren't trying to fix healthcare, they're trying to implement socialism

why the fuck can i not paste anything in here?

May be to big

If it exceeds a certain character length, break it down

Its not

its a screenshot

No I'm sorry man. I know the millitary is a touchy conservative talking point. But we waste ungodly amounts of money on tge millitary that desperately needs to be spent elsewhere.

You don't like increased taxes and think the government is wasting all of our money? Then we have to look at the millitary even more so than healthcare.

Our millitary spending accounts for around 55% of our budget. The U.S. accounts for 37 percent of the total millitary on the planet. U.S. military expenditures are roughly the size of the next seven largest military budgets around the world, combined.

Trust me, just like everything else the government does, its way over bloated.
