Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

cause we have continuous symptom treatment?
pick a political side not a continental one my fren
“continuous symptom treatment” is called “healthcare.”
when capitalism is worldwide and has purchased politics, it is a political thing. not a continental one. :)
health care in europe isn't planned economy. as i interpret it it's market with it's symptoms fought on the "front-end".
what they did over there is a political stunt in that same direction
when people have healthcare they can afford, as a community even, it’s not a stunt. reminder that if it’s required for life, health, safety, education, and housing - it should NOT be allowed to profit, be owned by the workers, and until that transition happens, the current owners should be reminded they are pieces of shit. :)
of course they should have that. of course we need to abolish capitalism if we want a human humanity. needs of the people not profit of a few.
to get there we do political stunts (leftover covid funds for medical debt), we take parts of the social reality away from the market or at least undo market-consequences (public health care) and we build narratives (like you just did, like I just did).
I guess my point is on this platform too often people don't differ between those strategies and between strategy and analysis. And if we don't get better at that, we won't succeed :)
