Society’s thinking changes when women start to weigh in. Our entire political and economic systems were devised before women had any voice whatsoever in the public sphere. The rebalancing occurring now will alter (save) everything.
Good luck with that ridiculousness. What she’s done is to have inspired an entire generation to think that maybe just maybe politics could work on their behalf. The energy she has created is more powerful than any one piece of legislation.
It sure as hell is not. What’s irresponsible is distracting people from the part that chronic economic stress and anxiety play in the lives of tens of millions of people who in their despair develop personal dysfunctions that they could otherwise avoid.
Addiction. Domestic abuse. Suicide. Rampant delinquency & crime. Homelessness & hunger. Child trauma. Think of the billions we spend trying to treat the symptoms & you see the idiocy of the fact we don’t remove the economic despair that’s their most prevalent cause to begin with
“Government of the people, by the people and for the people” is not socialist. Powerful propaganda though; it appears to be working. And wanna come back out from under that rock and explain your pedophile comment?
Lack of healthcare & education & economic opportunity is like a constant drip of psychological & emotional oppression that squashes peoples dreams & thwarts the good of tens of millions of Americans for no other reason than that a few people have rigged the system for themselves.
To those who say that not having healthcare or free higher education somehow equates to “freedom,” I’ll tell you what freedom is: freedom from the unbelievable stress & strain of going to a job you hate every single day just so you can pay for healthcare & your college loan debt.
Yeah, like in almost every other advanced democracy in the world… many of which have a worker productivity & happiness quotient that puts ours to shame. Someone working hard at three jobs with no healthcare just to survive really feels all that hard work is rewarding, I’m sure.
You want to look at the map of western Europe, Canada, Australia & New Zealand & explain that to me? Looking for the totalitarian leaders and so far I can’t find any. USA on the other hand does not have universal health care & just had a would be totalitarian leader for 4 years.
Oh you’re subsidizing plenty. You’re subsidizing health insurance companies, big Pharma, Big Oil, Big Ag, chemical companies, food companies, banks, the military industrial contractors and the very wealthiest Americans. And I mean that literally.
I can’t understand why thinking Americans should have the same or better healthcare, or educational or economic opportunities that citizens in other advanced democracies have should be considered “too far left.” What’s the downside?
