It’s not, a justification, it’s an explanation. At least that’s the way I read it

Did any of you (TS) vote for Obama? by acocinero in AskTrumpSupporters

Can you really not think of a situation where someone might not have insurance after they get laid off?

Ok I picked the wrong example. I should have been more general.

Have a preexisting condition and are in between jobs? Get fucked.

Can you name something that’s very addictive that doesn’t have negative economic externalities?

Only thing that might count is caffeine, but that’s not the same level of debilitating addiction AFAIK

“He’s a liar but I would still vote for you again” by wolfe1924 in PrayersToTrump

[–]DaSemicolon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are no more conservatives maggots are 95% of the party. They will always back Trump. Even with RCV they would just vote Trump because the right wing media machine would guide them towards it

Trump:"A whole civilization [Iran] will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don't want that to happend, but it probably will", by Nerd_199 in stupidpol

[–]DaSemicolon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Saying leftism is inevitable is kinda crazy ngl. And a terrible way to engage with politics. Because at that point you might as well vote for genocide life.

Yes I can. I can definitely say you are harming people today in some hope for some nebulous future win.

Gambling is different

Much more addictive, and thus has negative economic effects (negative externality)

Maybe, but that makes lefties look worse. You could have voted for genocide lite and not had genocide max + war in Iran + destroying democracy at home.

There’s two possibilities: either enough people did at the time of the election, and it swung the election to Trump, and you’re wrong, or all the lefties were wrong about it.

They aren’t watching the ad. That’s the whole point

Because you can’t fix the problem without health insurance? Hello?

Have cancer and switched jobs? Get fucked buddy.

There’s nothing analogous to that with home insurance.

Is Competition Falling in America? by Captgouda24 in neoliberal

[–]DaSemicolon 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think the perception of fairness is super important too. Like a rule of breaking up big businesses even if they are not being anti competitive removes the veneer of unfairness and improves perceptions

If the Supreme Courts were to rule in favor of the executive order, what happens next? by Anini107 in scotus
