The writer called Sanders promoting Medicare for All an ‘attack’ on the ACA. The ACA was an improvement but it was nowhere close to where the USA should be regarding healthcare.

Good lord.

If someone said created a more efficient AC unit, and someone else said that's an insult to existing AC units, I'd lose my shit. People who say this are hilariously stupid.

I think even Obama has, on several occasions, said that he hopes America makes even more improvements on the ACA, and comes up with something better.

Not to defend the shitstain, but Brazil doesn't have much ground to stand on with Bolsonaro. I love all these other countries acting like only the US is currently having a problem with Far-Right morons.

Somewhere else on Reddit, someone posed the idea that it is America's fault, because between media, economics, and cultural output, the US is quite literally a global leader.

The result is that as we cruise straight into the intellectual and political abyss of fascism, we have developed a very easily emulated political framework to allow smaller countries to copy our methods.

It just happens they got slick-tongued fascists who have a strong understanding of their country's government and infrastructure, like Duterte and Erdogan, and we got a guy who has to read index cards just to talk to a grieving family.

Yeah, I'm always very skeptical of any former staffer/advisor/whatever that leaves the administration and then goes on a publicity tour to rehab their image.

Trump let everyone know exactly who he was way before the election, hell even before he started running. If you signed-on to join his team, you either agree with his message but just got thrown under the bus OR at best you have a COLLOSAL lack of judgement.

Either way, we shouldn't start hailing them as a hero.

I am skeptical myself, but I'd rather support good behavior and encourage the good behavior, even if it's got suspicious motivations.

It sends a very public message that people who change their minds will still be accepted by the rest of us.

I can have a reasonable conversation, and still disagree, with a conservative like The Mooch. I cannot have a reasonable conversation with a Trump supporter, period.

We can support his actions while still voicing a concern. We're all able to walk and chew gum here, it's not r/T_D guys.

They have the nerve to brag about 2.8% wage growth with 1.5% inflation. For the average earner making $50k a year, that equates to an extra $9 a week. I mean in what reality is that a boom?

In the reality of the Republican financiers.

Can we use this idea to catch space debris safely? To prevent Kessler Syndrome?

Racial disparities aren't improved by putting advantaged people down but by raising disadvantaged people up.

I don't think MLK Jr wanted everyone to ride at the back of the bus.

Two months on, the escalating violence in Hong Kong has taken a heavy toll on the social order," one tweet reads, adding that "all walks of life in Hong Kong called for a brake to be put on the blatant violence and for order to be restored."

It's kind of hilarious how transparent their propaganda is.

Except that promoted ads on Twitter are naive advertising taken to an extra level of deceptive.

It's easy to shrug it off when we are all reading a headline about it, but the whole point of native advertising is to trick people, and corporations and the like don't keep spending their money on things that don't inherently work.
