Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

And still Trump has a 33% approval rate. I mean who tf are those people? Are they all so fckn rich that they don't care about increased medical costs? Or gas prices? Or inflation? Or stagnating economy? Those aren't some abstract politics, those are things u feel in ur everyday live...
Some of them are willing to make their own lives worse as long as it hurts the people they hate
Some of them are just that oblivious to how politics affects their lives
They just want to hurt the people they hate
If I can't afford insurance then the god-damned...(Insert something ignorant hateful and untrue) Motherfuckers better not either.
From what I've heard from individuals who believe in Trump is.
Some of these people I consider smart people, others I wouldn't say that about. These all seem pretty shallow arguments against Medicare for all our even the aca. The other trope is people don't know that the aca is Obamacare and them buying on the market is the ACA in action. Besides the pharma argument, I haven't heard a convincing argument against the wealthiest country in the world providing healthcare to it's citizens, imo.
The thing I find annoying is that none of them are of the opinion that we should outlaw health insurance companies and put price controls on medicine and services which would probably be unironically cheaper for everyone at this point as well.
What bothers me most is those who rely on government help and yet look down on others in the same position and want government help taken away. The hypocrisy is the most infuriating part for me. When people don't recognize that they're not special from the perspective of the rest of society and don't apply the same rules to themselves as everyone else
