people picked wealth over human rights and healthcare. now they get neither
It's a genuine mistake (/s), they thought that pro-business/anti-regulations would help their small business.
As with everything, they lied. It's about billionaires making more billions, at the expense of EVERYONE else - workers, but also other businesses. I'm convinced that all the rest, including the racism, xenophobia, transphobia, misogyny and overall bigotry are just tools to convince people to act against their own interests.
They didn't even lie. They said this is what they were going to do. He chose to believe that plan would only hurt people he disliked.
people picked wealth over human rights and healthcare.
Let's not pretend that either human rights or healthcare were on the ballot in 2024.
The republicans came within a vote of defunding Obamacare in 2018 and have talked about kicking out immigrants for a generation. To say that neither of those things were on the ballot is incredibly naive.
Sorry, I thought you meant universal healthcare, not a half measure from a decade and a half ago.
Democrats already adopted republican border policy last year.
Neither was on the ballot. Neither candidate wanted universal healthcare, and neither was going to protect civil rights.
They got wealth, just for a distinct group of people
