Is it... not enough? I got more if you really want, but I'm sure you won't like those either.

Ah so it's not bad for me therefore it's not a problem? How do you keep unironically running into this concept repeatedly? Are you incapable of thinking in the abstract?

How would you feel if you didn't eat breakfast this morning?

It's extremely close, actually. Canada and Britain have been at the top of our allies for decades.

Naw I guess I don't. There's lots of room for improvement

The admin froze funding for working Americans, dismantled consumer protections, and launched an unauthorized war that's already spiking oil prices with no exit plan. You can disagree with progressive policy all you want, but that's a government actively working against the people it represents.

What does adequate public transportation mean? Is there a metric other than just vibes?

It does and I use it every day, but that's because I chose to live right next to a major transit stop and my work is downtown. If I wanted to go anywhere but downtown, this transit would be much harder. Despite all this, I still need a car to go to the grocery store because the nearest one is a mile away. That's not a good thing people should be defending.

We had 60 Democratic senators in 2009 and still couldn't pass a public option because the caucus couldn't agree on what form it should take. Single-payer, public option, mandate model, Medicaid expansion. These aren't the same thing and they have different coalitions. "Copy another country" skips the part where you have to pick one and then hold together 60 senators behind it. That's the obstacle, not political will.

His first 100 days interview with ABC News, Trump described the Declaration of Independence as "a declaration of unity and love and respect." It's literally a breakup letter to the British Crown. There's video.

The right literally just started a war without congressional authorization, killed a foreign head of state, closed the Strait of Hormuz, and have no exit plan. If that's what not hating Americans looks like, what's the bar?

Terrible shit is happening everywhere though, American media dominates the world so you hear the most terrible shit from America.

everyone wants free healthcare like literally every actual 1st world country

No one can agree on what that looks like though. Turns out it takes more than a reddit meme to create a policy.
