Why doesn't the United States have universal healthcare by now? (Serious) - Lemmy.World

What’s keeping people from demanding it?

Because the Dems would need a supermajority in both Houses. They had one in 2010 and still had to worry about defectors.

Look at the record, the GOP is going to fight anything that actually helps people.

The GOP has convinced a large percentage of the voters that they will lose everything if the ‘socialists’ take over.

To be clear, the guys who voted against it in 2010 were literal 70 year old boomers who were raised in McCarthyism and scared of communism. Like actually cited that “it’s too communist” as a reason to vote against it.
