    My experience has been the opposite. I’ve found that the majority of users tend to lean towards neoliberal and center-right ideologies. I guess most of them are probably American, so their warped worldview has them considering these ideologies as ‘left-wing’ instead 🙃

      Where are these people you’re talking about, because all I see is a sea of red.

      Because those of us that are center-right/right believe in less government. I wouldn’t trust the US government with my dogs health, let alone my own.

          You don’t have to worry about that if you have a good job with premium health insurance.

          America is a sink or swim country and there’s no life gaurd on duty. If you want socialism/communism, just move to China, Russia, North Korea, or Cuba because that shit ain’t gonna happen here.

          Sorry

            The fact that public healthcare probably won’t happen is different from the argument that we should trust predatory insurance companies.

            Plus you don’t have to go to China for public health care. You could go to Canada or the UK, obviously. And they’re capitalist as fuck. Although capitalism will likely get rid of their public healthcare eventually, they haven’t succeeded yet.
