Because socialism just means “bad” to her. She likes her Medicaid. How could it be socialism if it helps her?

These are the people that say democrats arent safe for women and children. Then you point out some of the decisions and illegal activity done by this administration and they either say that's different or they refute the legitimacy of the information. Even when it's the president himself saying it.

It's the same people that say they are "constitutionalists" but then want trump back for a third term.

u/Still-Living-3127 3d ago
That shit breaks my brain! It's always the people that say america first and have the big American flag on their truck that advocate for the most un-American shit ive ever heard.

u/AcidCatfish___ 3d ago
And they default to "oh well that's just your opinion." Like, no, it is a fact that a third term would be against the constitution. Whether or not they want a third term is irrelevant. If we allow government to break the law of the Constitution, if will inevitably lead to something happening that they won't like. The Constitution is our freedom that they claim to like so much.

Its always the same thing. They are fine with socialism they just dont want black and brown people to get it.
This has always been the issue in this country.

Its just Faux patriotism, they can't actually support the country, so they'll just buy flags, clothing, decals, but thats the most they can do.

u/eggybread70 2d ago
I think they support some kind of idea they have of the country. When confronted with the reality of the country (eg the video above), that's where it all kind of falls down.

I don’t even like things at beach houses that remind you you’re at the beach
Yes I know it’s nicer at the beach. That’s why I’m here for the weekend instead of cleaning my garage. I don’t need a throw pillow to tell me that

They were forced to pledge allegiance to a flag, every day they went to school as a kid, because a bunch of white men needed everyone to prove they weren't disloyal commies or something. American flag worship is completely mental.

The attempted mental gymnastics here. The I paid into it seems to totally ignore that even with universal healthcare everyone is paying into it with their taxes. So it is the same thing. And for the most part it is still younger healthier people paying for people that need more care, older people, it just lets everyone actually access care when they need it and fewer hoops. Plus is cheaper.
The whole socialism to control people is also pretty dumb because nobody can explain it when you ask. As you are paying for something you benefit from in the first place. The danger of government comes more from the people she supports than the other way.

What is the issue with “socialism”? If you ask me, whatever the heck is currently passing as “capitalism” is just not fit for purpose.

These idiots vote every election. They don't know what they are voting for or why but they will vote regardless.
Democracy will die because of morons like this.

How do I phrase this it’s a haves and have not mentally if universal healthcare where to go into effect the poor would use up all the resources she needs to survive so the government helping with her health is different then giving healthcare to everyone even those in her mind don’t deserve it like those criminals and evil doers

I went to college for economics, and for a long time I was very against health care models like those in most of Europe, Canada, etc. based on what I learned in school. But with this quasi-market system we currently have, both the government and individuals pay more than in countries with socialized medicine. Healthcare in the US is a nightmare. If I must pay high taxes, I'd rather it go to that than wars nobody (except defense contractors) wants.

u/Artisan_HotDog 3d ago
I have a buddy that anytime you bring up universal healthcare he immediately says “but whose paying for this?” The guy has a pharmaceutical doctorate….. our friend that went to school with him argues for Universal healthcare all the time. I’ll let you take a guess at which one grew up poor and had to earn literally everything in their life and which one came from an upper class family. Same education btw, they met in college.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but even if you paid into ss and Medicare, I doubt you paid as much into it as ur getting back in benefits.

Yes. That's why we're about to hit a tipping point where both go bankrupt. They were designed with the idea that more young people would be born and be earning more on average.
Well birthrates stabilized after the babyboom and wages stagnated so the ponzi scheme is falling apart

This is the craziest thing about our Healthcare system. If you're of a certain age, suddenly it's perfectly acceptable to have socialized medicine. If you served in the military, you deserve socialized medicine.
Anyone else, you're on your own.

I am fully convinced democrats could get "Medicare for all" a bit more right wing support if they started saying "Medicare for all legal Americans" instead.
Literally door change anything about the bills themselves. Just call it that.

This unironically would work because it's a common maga lie that illegal immigrants are being given medicated and ssi.
