Health - Resources and discussion for everything health-related

Kid, you should just make a new username that's just the clown emoji with how you use it. You have such shit takes that I assume you're a child. This one isn't wrong it's just worthless. I hate seeing your name.

That doesn’t rule out holding them accountable via a government that works for us.

And how's that worked out?

Nah it's pretty spot on.
Conservatives are prudes but they love violence.

• all-time low for uninsured
• unemployment has held below 4% for the longest stretch since the 1960s
• income increases began to outpace price increases
• cost of living is returning to its pre-pandemic level this year
• rise in real wages for lower-income workers lowers inequality
• violent crime is down

None of these are things they did directly

• energy transition spending was $303 billion last year, a record and two-thirds higher than before Biden
• $369 billion investment in climate change, the largest in American history, through the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022
• rejoined the Paris Agreement

None of these directly help workers

• signed the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act that created enhanced background checks, closed the “boyfriend” loophole and provided funds for youth mental health

If it's bipartisan then the democrats didn't do it.

• college debt relief to Americans with loans who make under $125,000 a year

only a small amount

• cut child poverty in half through the American Rescue Plan

only for a short period of time

• capped prescription drug prices at $2,000 per year for seniors on Medicare through the Inflation Reduction Act

For a very specific group

• imposed a 15% minimum corporate tax on some of the largest corporations in the country, ensuring that they pay their fair share, as part of the Inflation Reduction Act

Pretty sure this was because of a global treaty

• reauthorized the Violence Against Women Act through 2027

Keeping things the same isn't a improvement

• halted all federal executions after the previous administration reinstated them after a 17-year freeze

Getting things back to how they were previously isn't an improvement.

• $1.2 trillion infrastructure package to increase investment in the national network of bridges and roads, airports, public transport and national broadband internet, as well as waterways and energy systems
• gave Medicare the power to negotiate prescription drug prices through the Inflation Reduction Act while also reducing government health spending
• reduced healthcare premiums under the Affordable Care Act by $800 a year
• signed the PACT Act to address service members’ exposure to burn pits and other toxins
• signed the Respect for Marriage Act, requiring the U.S. federal government and all U.S. states and territories (though not tribes) to recognize the validity of same-sex and interracial civil marriages in the United States

I don't know enough about these to comment, on the surface they sound good but some are vague.

yawn none of that matters if we destroy all life on earth with nuclear weapons. They've done nothing to address the existential theats

More like option 1 literally wasn't an option on the paper. Stein was literally sued off many State's ballots, unfortunately.

For option 1 to be achievable, first we need rank choice voting and abolition of the electoral college. I honestly dont understand why this didn't pass in Colorado, except maybe successful disinformation campaigns.

Did you not notice how democrats helped republicans shift the overton window further and further towards regressivism? There was never any incremental improvement, just concessions made to distract you from how both parties serve the same masters.

I mean she promised to shift to the right compared to Biden, and build that fucking border wall. How is "I'm so right wing I'll include Republicans in my cabinet) anything other than regression?

Yes, and they're spot on with their analysis. not a single one of her policies addressed the systemic issues afflicting our society atm. they were all small, pointless motions that would have not helped resolved the crippling wage suppression, the lack of decent health care, our dying climate, etc. reminder: harris wanted khan gone as well. and supported a genocide. she can go get bent as far as we're concerned.

As being shown this week if harris came out for health care reform in a big way like bernie she probably would have won. something the left wing has been telling you twits for over a decade. stop trying to defend the indefensible shit stains that harris and biden were.
