The 2024 US Presidential election
- Thread starter Phil C. McNasty
- Start date
I think you chose to ignore my point that ethnicity along with poverty are a bigger factor than just poverty alone. In other words, culture is the bigger factor. It begs the question why aren't all people in poverty obese if we use your logic or (should I say rhetoric)?
Anyway, the U.S. has fairly generous food program. No one needs to go to McDonald's in the U.S.
Interesting data somewhat relevant to the discussion. I don't think of Aussies or Canadian being unhealthy.
I think you are confused. Would one of the liberals DM Jalimon and explain this to him?
i am not even a liberal
Ask any mom if they are happy that pads are provided for free. You will get your answer.
Let me put this very simply for you.
When you are sick you need to be able to access and afford healthcare.
Failing which people will live less as they do in the US.
I was responding to a post on the U.S. pushing transgender bathrooms.i am not even a liberal
When I say we have free tampons for everyone......I literally mean everyone.
In other words, we have free tampons in the men's bathroom particularly in government buildings.
Which is a good thing. Poorer people need to learn basic cooking. A simple Mushroom Risotto cost nothing to make. Add cabbage to it.
Its a cultural thing. My 2 teens are 17 and 15. They need a veggie and a fruit every day or even meal. Their body is conditioned to it.
I called it weeks ago.
Kamala Harris was a weak candidate who should never have been the nominee. When Biden quit, the DNC launched into affirmative action mode and anointed Kamala based on her being a woman of colour. They ignored all the facts that she was a useless VP, who never would have won if it had of been a normal primary.
Kamala was just Hillary Clinton 2.0.
Jesus the powers that be at the DNC are fucking stupid.
It's late and I have to get up in a few hours and so I don't have any time to go n about this disaster.
But I spelled it all out weeks ago here:

I'm sorry I disagree. I believe obesity and other poor lifestyle choices are the main driver of life expectancy. Obesity might have a strong correlation with poverty, but that doesn't make it the cause. I'm sure you know correlation is not causation.
You are merely repeating an argument that U.S. liberals make in order to argue for more govt. control of healthcare. The govt. can solve that problem it has nothing to do with individual choice.
I'm pretty sure you also don't understand public healthcare programs like Medicaid and Medicare. We have public health insurance, but it coexists with private health insurance.
Yep dems really had to work hard to lose to a smug felon/fraudster/Putin’s whore and they managed to do it very well
It would have been interesting and probably more decisive in a ideological sense if Gavin Newsom was the nominee back this Spring. U.S. progressives will continue to argue that they just needed a better progressive candidate or worse the party needs to turn harder to the Left to attract voters.
I think their success depends more on a candidate like Gretchen Whitmer or Josh Shapiro. Blue Wall state leaders who are left of center.
Do you really understand what Democrats are selling? Don't you think the Dems wanted to run against Trump?
Sometimes I think Trudeau is a lighter more palatable version of our Democrats. However, I must confess I don't follow Trudeau and the Liberal party's governance day to day.
''free tampons in the men's bathroom particularly in government buildings.''
as useful as tits on a bull
this is simply burning taxpayers money to be woke
money that could have been spent on education, health care, highways, or defense
