It is weird how public services like Universal Healthcare which many Europeans have had for generations are seen as Radical, Extreme and Dangerous in the USA. Almost feels like an entire country has been lied to that services which will improve their lives are something to be scared of.

If Neoliberalism & transferring even more money to the Super Rich worked then everything would be flourishing. We've been doing it for years & all its done is make everything worse. Only an idiot would think giving even more money to the Super Rich will solve anything.
