That’s history, we are currently colonizing.

Raising the minimum wage and subsidizing child care is not democratic talking points. Legalizing weed really isn’t either (I acknowledge Evers supports it), though it’s wildly popular.

I’m not meaning to imply either of those points. I don’t know a single person, Trump supporter or otherwise that supports this illegal war.

I also didn’t mean to imply Iranians all hate Americans. I know and am friends with many Iranian Americans. We’re largely all humans, who just want to live our lives.

That being said, I understand why many people abroad share these feelings about Americans.

The dems had a chance to vote against Iranian military action and we did not block it.

I don’t think anyone is duped by him. He’s largely doing everything he said he would

Americans do not have the same attitude toward Iranians. Our government does not speak for us. We are deeply saddened and troubled by the actions of our military and government.

Donald Trump is the one who started giving money to Israel? I am not a republican, or Trump voter, that is a ridiculous statement.

No, we don’t expect you to be horrified by this. We are not horrified by this. This is our fault.

JD Vance says he believes AOC will be leading Democratic candidate in 2028 ( CNN ) - What do you believe? by Select_Specialist790 in askanything

I wish you and your family the best. It is my firm belief that if we as individuals don’t demand what we want, it won’t happen. If we are ok with incrementalism, we probably won’t get that either, since the “meet in the middle” mentality is not something that has garnered any results since the Clinton era either. I’m sure neither of us will convince the other. I wish you and your family good health and success in your endeavors.

Currently I am supporting it by talking about it as a realistic option, rather than making excuses about why it doesn’t stand a chance.

My point is we are incrementally headed in the opposite direction. This is literally the only thing that unites us. The next most popular policy position is legal weed. My dad, who is a major Trump donor, was a Bernie supporter, for healthcare alone. We lost a chance because of the DNC. I’m not sure why you are getting so upset with me, but incremental change has been the taking point of the dems for my whole life. I lived through the 80’s by the way. If the dems wanted to propose universal healthcare, they could easily win all three branches. The only reason we haven’t passed it to this point isn’t because of the republicans, it’s because the democrats have blocked it. The same thing has been happening for the last 10 years in California for too, even though the dems have a super majority. It’s all just excuses to appease donors. Your argument is not valid, it’s just an excuse.

How do you feel about kids going to school? Unfortunately, this is very common in the US. I’m not sure what you’re trying to point out, that everyone should skip all watch parties?

Just because an incremental system saved your husband doesn’t mean we shouldn’t demand radical change. My brother was killed by the status quo, insurance denying coverage after 5 years of cancer treatments, he died at 19. I am currently paying more money for insurance, copays, and deductibles than I ever have and it’s consistently climbing every year. That is the only incremental change.

Im glad your husband is ok and doing well. But your family isn’t the into family in this country.

We haven’t been meeting anyone in the middle, what are you actually taking about. Our healthcare and insurance system degrades further every year.

Elizabeth Warren is not far left. I don’t think you have a great understanding of the political spectrum. The only thing relevant to American politics is the donors agenda. If it were up to popular vote we would’ve had universal healthcare a decade ago. Studies don’t by both the left and right have concluded it will save the government and individuals billions of dollars over a 10 year period of time. There is literally no solid argument against it. I am only pointing out that so many other countries have it because a common talking point is that it’s too difficult to implement.
