greenjack1992 & Thunder Chunky Not even mentioning that corporate America best funds political campaigns and effectively shapes the dialogue. There's a candidate voicing concern over your business practices? Throw your $ behind media outlets that are ardent critics and political opposition on both sides willing to play ball. Or pass off issues as political dilemmas and tie up potential solutions in hopeless partisan gridlock. Most fixes will require generations to alleviate but gov't leaderships rarely ever get enough time to enact them, from legal challenges to unrealistic demands of instant results to just sheer ineptitude. The strange thing to me as an outsider is that because, compared to our parties here, both your parties are right wing and nearly identical, it means both parties have to split hairs on everything and never agree with each other. Over here, when the NHS was formed by our ***actually*** left wing Labour party, the Tories (now called the Conservatives) were so hotly against it, but now absolutely every person in the UK loves it no matter where they are on the political spectrum. It is one of the handful of things EVERYONE agrees about and no party would ever dare to come out against it. So, to us in 2020, we don't understand why access to healthcare is a political issue. We're all unanimous here about a few things, including workers' rights and access to essential services. What that looks like in practice and execution is different, but everyone here wants the same thing.
