Maybe America isn't nearly as progressive as we think it is.
Oh, it definitely isn’t. If the US was actually progressive, universal healthcare at a minimum would be in place, same with more workers’ rights, etc. Let’s just hope American doesn’t become full blown racist with a Trump victory.
Meh. Define progressive.
People, the regular mud sitting kind, would absolutely love universal healthcare, guaranteed pay, personal freedoms, and more. But for them it's just a Quality of Life improvement they want. It's not for society it's for them. Phrase it like that and you have mass agreement.
The people with actual power and influence and those that follow their every word. Yeah far less interested cause they already have those things for themselves and it might eat into their life they think to give it to others.
People are selfish. Very few forward thinking social caring. But people will agree on a good thing, we just can't get it past the people with different motives.
