    Only asking people with health insurance if they are happy with the American healthcare system is a bit like asking people in a boat if they are drowning. Ask the 8% of the population and more than 11% of American adults who don’t have health insurance what they think of the system. And that data is prior to implementation of Trump’s OBBBA which kicks 10-15 million people off Medicaid/Medicare.

    Edit : I would also question the reliability of data coming from a source called “SurveyMonkey”.

















  • The thing I keep going back to is that 2020 was 81.3 million votes for Biden vs 74.2 million votes for Trump. 2024 was 77.3 million votes for Trump and 75.0 million votes for Harris. Democrats lost because they lost voters, not because Trump gained voters. Part of that was undoubtedly Elon and Thiel shenanigans. Another part though was social engineering. Social media was used to push the idea that both sides were the same. They also pushed the idea that Democrats wouldn’t be any better towards Gaza than Republicans. That should have been obvious to people as a lie, but here we are.
