Absolutely 100% correct. Republicans are here to take the money and run. They are the enemy of the working class.

Number 1 is dubious. Its not that they want to take healthcare away from millions of Americans, its that they want to implement a better system so Americans have choices in terms of their healthcare provider

No they want healthcare to be a luxury reserved for the wealthiest Americans. They view chemotherapy like its a Ferrari.

Why is it that so many other first world countries do healthcare better than America?

Why would you not want affordable healthcare and no tax cuts for billionaires?

People. Because people will tell you what they want when you ask, and individual people don't sell their political souls to lobbies and political parties.

So, right wingers can continually insult multiple states and many different groups of people, but the left... cannot.

Seems legit. It'd be funny if it weren't "reality."

they don't say things like "trump won because theres a lot of dumb people, or if you vote republican you're evil"

I think most people generally want to live in the state that they grew up in, and that the people most vocal about not wanting to live in those states never lived there in the first place, but would get offended if someone from there said something negative about their state without ever having been there.

Do they though. Look at many of the states with State questions on their ballot and you'll see a lot of people in ostensibly very red districts voting on policies with a clear left bent. You can also look at national support of things like the ACA, which the half of Americans should theoretically hate were their opinions on the ACA exclusively fed to them by the political commentary they prefer to watch. The parties organize political action, but they don't prescribe our individual wants and needs. You must know this. Hell, ask most Trump supporters about the child separation policy and watch them tap dance and equivocate.

If the democrats are all about helping poor people then why is poverty still a huge issue after 8 years of Obama and so many democratic presidents over the years ?

How is it ok that 51% of Americans do not pay taxes due to being on welfare ?

Imagine how much money would not be wasted if we cut the welfare state of 75% of their spending and kicked out illegals here not trying to get citizenship, or stay in the USA legally.

There are tons of jobs out there but so many people opt to live off welfare that do not have a disability or medical issue.

Cause it's easier to break something than it is to fix it, and Republican policies tend to work extremely well at ruining the economy.

They have had decades to fix things, if they have not been able to do anything meaningful in all that time it means they fail at fixing shit. Yes things take time but if you have not accomplished fuck all in 20 years that means your plans do not work, and your ineffective.

Republicans are not the ones pushing the failure that is the welfare state, that is the democrats.
