dumbfukks voted for this, now we’re all gonna be hurting for good healthcare.
I spoke to a Trump voter this weekend who is a huge fan of Elon Musk.
This registered voter have no idea Musk was born into a wealthy family. When I brought up the politics of South Africa, the 40 yr old was confused. He had never heard of apartheid, didn't know what it was. He'd heard the name Nelson Mandela but didn't know who he was. Never heard of the Central Park 5, completely ignorant of all the lawsuits Trump has faced from racial discrimination in his own rental properties.
He says with Trump in office, the economy will run right. Had to inform him that any economic prosperity you think the government had a hand in was due to Obama policies, and broke it down to him how it takes time for policies not only to be passed, but implemented and then it takes time to see the effects. Years. If u struggled lately, it's cause Trump dismantled the global pandemic response team that was put together by our government to prevent worldwide pandemics. Everything that has gone south since 202 is due to Trump.
He had no idea of any of this.
We need to require a license to vote. U need to be educated on political affairs, aware of who your local politicians are and be quizzed on the powers of certain levels of government . U need to vote regularly in your local elections from the time you registered until your viewed as being knowledgeable enough to have a say in who the president is.
If u wanna be stupid and uneducated that's fine, but you don't get to vote. That's for adults only

Personally, I really don't like calling people dumb when the quality of information is poor.
Let's be honest, the entertainment and amusement factor is all people have left. To know a politician's true policy, one would have to know the ideology of their donors and that information isn't available the majority of the time.

"I want my social security and Medicare." Proceeds to vote for Republicans that want the programs gone. 
"I want another stimulus check to help me pay bills and feed my family. Times is hard."
"Oh so you want a supplemental check from the government periodically to make sure you have a certain minimum standard of living right?"
"Yeah that sounds kinda right"
"Oh good so you want universal basic income too then?"
"What?! No i don't want none of that socialist shyt! Just gimme a stimmy!!"
Americans consistently vote the opposite way though 
THIS! Americans are generally the stupidest people on planet earth

Ugh, these are small time measures not addressing the initial post. People want a government option to private insurance full stop. Saying the Dems and Republicans have been either against or incompetent in delivering despite it being popular isn't some radical idea. It's just facts we are behind most 1st even 2nd world nation in this regard. It's long overdue.Thank you breh

What they want is for the programs that help people, to help just the people they care about. So they have to set it up in a way that has conditions to limit the "undesirables" otherwise they can't sleep at night.
Its crazy because White People is the biggest beneficiaries of medicaid at 52% followed by Hispanics at 20% both who voted for trump
And I don’t want to hear shyt when they see that hospital bill for that ear infection for $500
Because the right control the house, senate, presidency and most important the Supreme Court

My maga Cousin in Alabama couldn’t even go home for Christmas because he didn’t have gas money….And It be the poorest of the poor aligning themselves with billionaires and trust fund babies, as if these people have ever done anything good for them
It really is foolishness. And I don't want to hear anything about racism, because whites in places like Alaska or Wyoming or Montana that live nowhere near black people vote in a similar way in local elections. You literally have places where the population is 99% white voting against Medicaid expansion and voting to slash their own school budgets. Folks that barely make enough to not qualify for food stamps, supporting tax cuts.
And of course this ignores minorities voting for a party that calls them garbage to their face.
I know I'm rambling now, but I swear, some days I question if democracy is good idea when so much of the electorate is civically illiterate and uneducated. This last American election reminds of the time the British willingly voted to raise their own prices and cut export markets during brexit. Or when the Brazilians(a nation of poor people ) elected bolsanaro who actively worked against poor people.
