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?

The downside for those who oppose this idea is they can't profit from it, nor the lobbyists who line their pockets.

There is no downside ... The issue is education ... the people in this country need to be educated to the fact that they are living in the Wealthiest Country in the World ... and yet ... they are living like third world citizens!

Its not about healthcare, its about health insurance. Always had been. You and the Dems are all about attacking the free markets.

Conservatives don't want to pay more in taxes to help others. And they pretend their extreme selfishness is a virtue.

That’s not probably. I think it could be extremely popular. The problem is those are currently sold in a package together along with anti-racism ideology and calls for abolishing police, etc.

Keep nailing this to the wall until they are forced to admit the truth that we already know: Lawmakers have been bought off by Insurance lobbyists who would like to continue making obscene profits off of sick and injured people.

Education is the enemy of the GOP. They know it, so they have been actively dismantling education systems since they launched their “Southern strategy.”

The downside is to the insurance companies and pharma. They have Washington in a death grip. And the death is literal.
