Makes me sad that HRC wasnt good enough for some people. She defended women's reproductive rights while still being openly critical of transgenderism. The only other female politician that was similar to her in that regard was Klobuchar, who was cut early on from the list of possible picks.

No, Bernie Sanders was terrible. He's said a lot of gross shit about women, voted for those crime bills everyone blamed Clinton for, endorsed pro-life candidates over pro-choice ones simply because one was a bit more socially economic than the other. TBH, I think he's popular here because he promise a lot of free shit, while giving lip service to women's issues but ignoring transgenderism, but in reality, wrote everything off as "identity politics".

TIL healthcare for those who need it that doesn't bankrupt people and specifically women who dare to give birth is "free shit".

The healthcare system in the US is deeply immoral.

A lot of us don't know what we're missing out on. It's not treated like a necessity, but a commodity.

Yeah, a woman not wanting to receive a $30,000 bill after a C-section or, worse, a several hundred thousand dollar bill if the child had to be in the NICU, just wants free shit. If you don't want a cancer diagnosis to bankrupt people (including those that do have health insurance), you're just a freeloader. You got cancer or type 1 diabetes? Just deal with it, don't ask for free treatment!
