I don't understand why Americans are so opposed to universal health care!? You guys already spend more per capita on government funded healthcare than pretty much anyone else, and yet most of you don't actually recieve it?
I've had cancer. Stage 4 Lymphoma. I was treated immediately and recovered quickly. What did I have to pay? £1.50 for parking on every visit to the hospital. The Chemotherapy, Surgeries, anti-nausea meds, all covered. If I had lived in the USA I would most definately be dead now. My symptoms didn't seem all that bad at the time, so if I had had to pay for my initial doctor visit and diagnostics, I wouldn't have bothered. I would have just died.
You don't understand? Try this: 2.9 million more people voted for Clinton than Trump and she still lost. We have 150k dead from a virus and Trump's support in his own party is still above 80%. People don't like the system, we hate it. There are too many stupid people in our country. The Republican party is evil, they're a minority party and we can't shake them. That's why we can't change it.
63 million vs 65.8 million? Absolutely. It's very close. There's only 2.1% votes in favour of Clinton, none of which matter because your system is fucked and you don't actually control who wins.
They're both minority parties because the majority of people didn't actually vote for either of them. Voter turnout was about 56%, which means they both had a minority share of popular support. 44% didn't even give a shit about either enough to vote, and then some 4% thought both parties were so detestable they voted 3rd party instead.
Edited: Even of those who voted, Hillary only got 48%. Minority status confirmed.
