He's only able to do these because he opposes universal healthcare. He wants people to die of lack of access to healthcare (70,000 per year) or lack of insurance (45,000 per year). What do dead people, or people who can't afford to be diagnosed, or people who can't afford necessary procedures care about their credit reports or drugs they can't get prescribed? Why would anyone cheer a horribly policy?
As if the media aren't congratulating him enough on his "tough red line" for Israel's genocide that they somehow never break. Ever the victims, Democrats in power are.
Let's not bash progress in pursuit of perfection. These policies are directly impacting me in the positive, which is more than we could say for the previous president.
None of the above have helped me, or anyone less fortunate than me.
What? This is completely stupid. Of course lowered drug and removing medical debt will help people poorer than you. Those are exactly the people most harmed by medical debt and high drug prices.
Starting to think accounts online that prominently advertise themselves as communists might not actually be commenting in good faith.
He didn't do that. This isn't what it says. You are the one arguing in bad faith. Why lie? He would not do this, because it would harm his corporate backers in the medical industry. He did not remove any medical debt. Hell, he won't even do the much less impressive thing and remove student debt.
What an incredibly self-centered and damaging thing to say.
These policies may not be helping you right now. But they are helping millions. And they aren't making future change harder to enact than before. On the contrary, it sets the status quo a little bit more positive, making future improvements look like less of a drastic change.
Don't EVER bash progress. Bash inaction and bash negative side effects.
I'm sure that's very easy to say when you are comfortable, have health coverage, and are likely white.
Much less easy if you are poor, homeless, an asylum-seeker, immigrant, Palestinian, live in a climate-affected area....
Also, I care much more about those less fortunate than me than I do myself. The person I responded to was the one to make it about themselves. I'm the one talking about those who are being ignored, while you are the one ignoring them. Don't talk to me about "damaging".
