I mean, exclusively.

The Trump Presidential Library will comprise nothing other than piss porn.

As an Australian I can confirm this. Anybody silly enough to act patriotic in any group will be sledged mercilessly.

Of course you are right. But voting for a guy working against your interest, or not voting at all and allowing the steamroller to lay you out make even less sense.

Perhaps there should not be health insurance either. Many other countries fund health care as an obligation to their citizens.

How did non-medical middle-men get into such a crucial responsibility?

Well, as poor as the choices might seem, last time Trump was in power he spent every day not on the golf course trying to sabotage the ACA. It wasn't exactly a zero sum choice at the ballot box.

Not only is not a thing, but the rest of the world views it as distinctly odd. Performative patriotism looks a bit creepy from the outside. I guess you have to be born into it, but we all know that family who does something and remains unaware just how it looks?

Well, to be fair, they didn't give nothing. The nuke countries just took it.

The great Republican war on orgasms have begun.

Not meaning to needle you, Mate. Once again, if I come across as a jerk, sorry.

I may have been unclear. If so, I apologise for it. I meant out of all the First World countries, the US (the richest country on the planet) has the worst health care outcomes.

Comparisons outside of the Western sphere, particularly with communist dictatorships, won't really work.

In the end, it doesn't matter whether you vote for people or policy then. If you are going to be shafted anyway it doesn't matter.

However, as I said in my original post, this seems to be a very unique problem in the Western world. Other first world countries vote for people and policy and our experience is somewhat different.
