"Planned Parenthood aborts fetuses/babies left and right."
Among other things you are to ignorant to know about.

"So, that means that I pay for Tiffany's abortion"
Good, as well you should. Because if Tiffany has an ectopic pregnancy (here is a word your dumb ass didn't know), Tiffany dies without an abortion. It's absolutely no different than you paying for someone to ...[text shortened]... the abortion she needs than paying for some billionaire subsidy/ some war/ some tax cut or whatever.
Boy, and you are a boy, you have really enlightened all of the posters. Guess I should have said it was LAST YEAR'S cookie jar!!!!!!!

I wrote, you wrote, everybody vote!

I think by unpopular you mean politically conservative candidates who are risk averse and only want to tweak the system. I wouldn’t disagree but it seems as if the US electorate feels the same way or at least they did until 2016 and the normally fiscal conservative GOP went all culture war on americas ass and enthroned Donald out of sheer spite and frustration.
It’s definitely time for a Bernie Sanders but still not sure that enough voters are ready for actual change.
Bernie Sanders is a fraud. He would never bring any change. He just pretends to when speaking and he betrays all of his promises. He was just there to give the illusion of choice and help Biden win the nomination.

everyone has access to Pfizer drugs, dumbass. They aren't just selling in the US. It's just that everyone gets them cheaper because their governments negotiate the bloody price .

Oh, I thought Pfizer was only in Kansas. I learn a lot here. I learn from the MB person that Bernie is a fraud, and from you, that he is not. 🤔

"You are a socialist/marxist type, like Marauder,and get all the socialist free stuff, "
I don't know if i am left of Marauder but you lunatics called Obama a Marxist so the above sentence could mean anything. It could mean he is slightly left of Biden or have a picture of Lenin above his bed .

"we DO NOT have "Universal Health Care that everyone is entitled to."
If you were a civilized country you would have.

"It does not exist."
It does in civilized countries, in one form or another. And quite a few less civilized countries.

Because most people realize that to take care of one's citizens ' healthcare is more important than giving tax cuts after tax cuts or sinking money into a grotesque military.

"I will come to your country to get a free treatment of my skin problem"
You could. You should. Don't know how nasty your made up rash is but accounting for plane ticket plus food and board you might just come up ahead than you would if you went to the states.

And Americans already do this, you're not special for coming up with it. Texans and others cross the border into mexico for medicine and dental work. The ones up north go into Canada for insulin, which, bears repeating, your fellow republican ghouls voted against in congress.

@Zahlanzi......said that everyone is entitled to universal health care, whatever that is ., I don't know what that is. Of course, they are not, but here instead of admitting that he is wrong, he says''''"well they SHOULD be'. Why are libs so disingenuous? Re-fabricating a lie, or whatever he is doing .
Oh, tell us why 'they SHOULD be'. And, I'm not going to wade thru all your hypos, the abusive father or rape, but you need to get with it, it is universally agreed to abort babies who are the result of such horribleness. You and Sonhouse keep mentioning that,,,,we know that abortions should be allowed, I will drive them to the clinic and wait in the waiting room.
And what in the world, you want us to pay for an abortion because the girl forgot to take her B Control pill? She forgot? I'm sposed to drop everything and work with her mistake?
The mental acrobatics of your minds are quite entertaining.

I seriously wonder how Somalia calls our military grotesque, when it may very well save your ass, home and bicycle, given all the smoke that you have to smell everyday. Don't get you there.

As to my coming there for med treatment, as a matter of fact, my friend's wife got appendicitis in one of those less than average countries, neither the physician, nor his nurse wore rubber gloves. I think I will go with our law of averages in the USA med world,. Katalin Kariko invented covid vaccine, all USA people. My cousin has cured his skin problem with a drug called Dupixent. Invented in the USA. Maybe a USA truck is delivering a box of it to your local Farmacia today. Tell us all how much greater Romania is in that category again.....

The truth, please? Everyone is reading.
If you lived in Texas, would you go to Mexico for medical treatment?

Asked you first, It seems your friends say that a democracy is a society where everyone has one equal vote. (mob). We have the Electoral College in the United States, established to keep 51% of the people in the county from controlling the other 49%. Can you imagine!! 😕 Why did you never answer the question.

Anyway, I will answer it. Your friends are right.

We already answered your question several times but you refuse to read it I guess.
You want to slide around definitions like you think that is going to win arguments but all it really does is to make you look dogmatic.
Your dogma ran over my karma.

So you figure it is wrong to allow rule by minority votes? Tell that to your repub zombie friends who want to destroy our kind of democracy and insert a permanent MAGA government, converting the US to another banana republic.
BTW, have you started a Soundcloud account yet? I would love to hear your music.

You Never did. Someone chimed in finally with an answer last week, and indeed, said majority rules. I wonder why you shied away from answering it. Curious indeed.

PS: I have never slid around definitions, I think it only has the one.
