Now do healthcare as a right and abortion. Where's the compromise?
Oh, I forgot you Americans are still arguing about basic stuff
You missed the point, there is no compromise and even people who identify as centrists will have different thoughts.
Me personally?
Healthcare as a right is already a thing. You can get it even if you're unemployed right now. The real problem is in the insurance/medical/pharma industries with all of the insane price gouging. It needs to be more obtainable and more effective. Free? No, medical supplies and labor still have some cost even if we fix the issue of cost and that money needs to come from somewhere. Even if it were given out for "free", you really think our taxes won't go up to compensate?
Abortion? Let them do what they want.
Health care should be free for the simple reason that it's inhumane to deprive a person of it just because they can't afford it. It's a basic human right. It works in many other countries. Maybe rich people and corporations should stop getting tax breaks and your government should reduce a bit the amount spent on the military.
Jupp, healthcare should be free for the individual in need. And at the same time it is not "free" because the costs get compensated by taxes. At least that's how it works in Germany, where i am from. So the point of the person you answered to stands: yes, free for individual, covered by state/insurance which gets the money from someone else.
The person I replied to literally said it shouldn't be free because it may increase their taxes. So it was implied that they meant it should not be free for the individual, meaning the individual should be expected to have to pay for their own medical treatment when needed.
That's one of the reasons I don't like the left, you guys expect everyone to be in lock step on every issue and you use a holier than thou approach to do it. However, I don't want to live in a Christo-Fascist Theocracy, so even though I don't love it.. I will still vote D for now. I'm literally on your side, but it's impossible to have a conversation with you guys. The right and left's chances of that are near zero and it's fucking sad. You call us centrists, but most of us never moved. You guys did. You move the line more and more every day.
That is very a very american-centrist pov, it's your bi-party stuff that's fucked up, not the left
I mean, I thought the right's problems were pretty obvious. I don't think there are many right wing people that need to hear it here anyways. Right wing people seem to absolutely love it when you tell them their party is flawed anyways.
To your other point, this thread is literally me saying the two parties are a problem and I've posted other comments in here saying people should vote third party.
Now you really gone and rilled the identity warriors with you mentioning "bi-parties"...
Not sure to understand what you mean
"Bi" as in "Bisexual" rather than standing for "two" as you probably meant it.
Bad joke, sorry ;)
Oh nice joke :D
