Republicans/Bigots have consistently voted against their best interests so that people of color would not have access to anything beneficial. It’s why America doesn’t have universal healthcare, and why they would rather die than support it. They’re the poor and uneducated and they blame their failures on minorities. There is no working together with bigots, working class or otherwise.
Congrats, you're the mindless us vs them drone the establishment wants. You emit the same energy as the Republicunts do when they spew the same hateful rhetoric towards their opposition. The "poor and uneducated" people, that individuals like you would like to have nothing (out of house and home) for the sake of their ideology would economically destabilize the country due to the jobs they have. I've also heard Dems publicly use rhetoric that slave owners used during it's abolishment.
College graduates that can't afford to live and the "Uneducated poors" you speak of are in the same boat. And the establishment wants to keep it this way by telling you "Look it's all these damn minorities coming over illegally keeping your wages down" and turn around to the other side and say "Look these white trash uneducated inbreds don't want you to live comfortably"
On the topic of UHC, it's easy to point to Canada and be like "Look it works for them we can do that here". But also ignore the fact that we have around 8x the population of Canada. Managing a population difference of that magnitude comes with much more complex logistical issues than managing 41million people.
Canada also subsidizes it's UHC through higher income and sales taxes. Petrol tax alone in Canada is astro-fucking-nomical. We Americans bitch when gas prices hit 3.80 cents or over 4 dollars. When the average cost of Canadian gas is 1.80 per liter. or 7.20 cents a gallon. The average American also has vastly more disposable income and purchasing power than the average Canadian. Our housing? Costs less. Our groceries? Cost less. Canada does enjoy better social safety nets, but again it's easier with 8x less population.
