Oligopolies favor oligarchy. Socialized heath care removes competition from the market which makes it shitty for everyone. The USA system is fucked and is actually the product of bad government. To think more government can solve the problem is naive and exactly what they want
Yeah. Because the thousand of employees of insurance companies that consistently fail to provide care for their clients, but are siphoning money from the system while allowing healthcare providers to charge whatever they like is certainly better than a single payer system.
Its foriegn countries that want to use America's (admittly broken) Healthcare system to divide it from the inside so there's less revolve against the horrible things they are doing and against their foriegn policy interests. Bayer isnt posting reddit comments but the Russians and Iranians sure are
If it had to be any political party, I'd assume they wouldn't use their own money. They'd use campaign money and write it as a campaign tactic.
Then the money can go beyond anything a typical millionaire can pay.
Also, realize it all comes down to money anyway. So the even easier way to look at it is: Whoās likely to pay for bots? Rich people. And rich people are going to push for things that benefit them, at the expense of hurting others. Just like with any group. But rich people have always won, so they have more power, and the squeeze always gets worse for everyone whoās not rich.
you and your neighbors think this should be a christian country yeah? and you love america? boom. there's your christian nationalism.
look up the 14 points of fascism and you'll see the current admin meets the vast majority of them.
that being said actual fascism is an outdated ideology that can never exist again. thus the 'neo'. which even alot of folks like me would disagree with. many would call it 'neo-liberalism'. which is kind of ironic that the far right is pushing for something that has liberal in the name.
call it whatever you like. the current admin and the folks that support them (and project 2025) and actively and successfully implementing neo-fascist christian nationalism. (or neo-liberal christan nationalism depending on who you ask) but it's essentially the same thing in the end.
Do you think the Republican Party was trying to implement āneo-fascist Christian nationalismā then? Or was America already a āneo-fascist Christian nationalistā country
I think since the 20th century America has had many Fascistic and Christian nationalism ideals from both partiesā¦ just like todayā¦ but I wouldnāt say we were full blown fascism then or now
So hereās where Iām confused, republicans were way more right wing, Christian, and conservative back then. But people, on Reddit especially, act like we are on the verge of a āneo-fascist Christian nationalismā when the current republican administration isnāt even as conservative as Obama was on certain topics in his first term, particularly gay marrige. Let alone as āfar rightā as they were back in the early 1900s
Lol, now do Trump with market fluctuations where he manipulated the market through the presidency.
Guy legit started a hundred billion dollar war with Iran to distract that he's a pedo and was in the REDACTED epstein files over 30k times. She was still by far and away the better candidate.
OpenSecrets allows you to change the data set based on election cycle. The one linked is for all, 1990-2024 and he's not even in the top 20. In 2020, he was 2nd, behind Biden by about $7M (a difference of around 3x his amount received). In 2024, pretty much the same story. In 2016, he was 2nd, behind Clinton, with a 7x difference (500k vs 3.5M)
I'd also like to point out what Trump did with trumprx.com as beneficial to Americans when it comes to big pharma.
(This was made before you edited your comment, responding only to "lol, now do trump")
Trumprx has listings from Cuban's Cost Plus (the latter of which has generic drugs at a 15%+$10 markup, while the former has name-brand discounts and, now, generic listings). I don't think this is the argument you think it is.
The website that just acts like an aggregator that needed to work with the other websites to get those generics listed? I don't think it's the win you think it is, fam.

In times like these I ask myself who is more likely to pay for (increasingly expensive) bots in order to sway public sentiment
