I really wish the young people on the left who snark about "late-stage capitalism" every time a Walgreens declines to refund pack of Sour Patches would talk to people from countries like China, India, or Russia. We truly don't understand how good we have it in the US.
Do we have corruption? Sure. Regulatory capture? Yeah. A stupid healthcare system? Absolutely. But you can't be thrown in jail for comparing Mitch McConnell to a tortoise. Things could be better, but they could also be way, way, way worse.

- C6JEsQeQa5fCjE 3y agoDo American people generally place more value on the ability to call elected officials names, rather than having proper health care, and solving regulatory capture and corruption? Is such a stance wise?
