I think the issue is most progressives aren’t pragmatic. I’m the same way, I think basically everything they say is the way things should be. Problem is, to achieve those goals you have to do things like convince millions of Americans on very good health care plans to give those up. Hard to do.

And the second you bring that up you are an “asshole normie lib” or some shit. It’s like you don’t have to convince me everyone should have health care, you have to convince a subset of the population that drinks raw milk and thinks vax have Gates nanoparticles. And they accept no middle ground

I live in a country w national health care and also have private insurance. National is great for the annual stuff, the big stuff like cancer, organ transplants. Private is faster, freedom of choice of drs., more services. Most drs. wrk public and private.
