Why is the Democratic Convention being held in a right wing racist state?

[countryboy]

Why not hold the convention in a more diverse state which represents the diverse party?

Why support racist white wing business's who will never vote for dems?

They don't even have any stay at home orders in place to protect the public?

Why do the dems keep supporting white wing racist?

You are mistaken, all the racist states are Democrat.

Those were all white guys. And they were not related.

No, they tried to leave the country, which they should have been allowed to do. That's how America got started in the first place. If a region feels they're not being treated fairly, they should secede. That serves as a check on government power.

Not after taking part in a national election.
We didn't get to vote for George the third.
Big difference

I don't see why that should make a difference. Democratic governments can abuse their power too.

Americans have experienced the healthcare the rich want us to have, A corporate for-profit healthcare system results in providing the least amount of beds as possible to max profits. It uses the same logic to keep a min of equipment such as respirators and hospital equipment. It also rations healthcare for the poor. They are not profitable. The people are getting more and more fed up with our miserable system.

It's funny you mention the ventilators issue. NYC had a lot of ventilators at one point. Bloomberg had a major emergency fund set aside for them. Later administrations let them fall into disrepair, and then they were sold off at auctions.

That's not the fault of the private market but instead government.

Also, we actually have better medical equipment and more of it in most cases as compared with a lot of other countries. We have a lot more MRI machines proportionate to our population than most other countries, for example.

The public systems of a lot of countries tend to be worse about shortages of equipment and shortages of care. Our system is designed to move people in and out of hospitals quicker, so as to make more money. In a public system, there's more incentive to keep beds filled.

Maybe, but the point is that plenty of people will take Medicare for All over what we have now. So while it might not be the first choice for everyone, it's certainly not a far-left idea anymore. Like with women voting and Catholic immigration, it's become mainstream and, if we ever get it, it will be just a normal part of American life.

Anything can be normalized. That's the most dangerous aspect of media and government.

Sure, but the point is that Medicare for All isn't a far-left idea anymore. And generally speaking, the things that get normalized across the board in the West are good.

No, that's Conservatives.

That started before Obama!

He sure revived it...

The point is,if you took part in an election you're honor bound to live with the results!

It went from Clinton to Bush to Obama.

Our system treats healthcare as a commodity and a corporate business. It uses the 6 sigma methods and tries to lower costs by stockpiling as little as they can get away with. It provides a min of beds so they are not wasting profits on empty rooms. Cost-cutting for profit results in finding the cheapest doctors they can get and paying nurses and workers as little as possible. Healthcare is a right, not a for-profit business. We are the only industrial country that does this.
Insurance companies stand between customers and healthcare. They determine what treatments you can get. They pick your doctors and hospitals. They increase profits by denying treatment, so they do.

So if some people in Maine vote in the next election, but then Trump becomes dictator for life, Maine has no right to secede?

Healthcare is NOT a right. Check your pocket constitution and please cite the amendment that makes it a right.

In government healthcare the government determines who your doctor is. They determine who gets treatment and who doesn't. They determine if a patient is too old or otherwise not worthy of the necessary care. Death panels I believe Palin mentioned them and Obama laughed. Obviously she was correct.

Amazing!
