    Those were based off 2019 statistics, and I’m not pretending to defend either system I am saying at the very least, the economic realities of America render the idea of abortion being a solely moral issue completely ridiculous

    I don't like the hyper polarized climate there and people falling for that us vs others mentality.

    Okay, I can give you that one cause of private healthcare that is more nuanced issue there.

    Yeah, with that I agree as I said everything is super polarized there. European countries have their issues though.

    Exactly. People are obsessed w playing victims and making fellow people as their enemy for no reason it makes me sad actually. Everyone feels offended by the smallest things and we all get accused of bs nobody even heard of before. Its ridiculous.

    Problem is it starts to happen here as well because it travels. And I dont blame everyone it just happens

    Yes its us vs them. People somehow have to mention that someone is gay or black or white or transgender or lesbian... if we just stop labeling people and just look at eachother as people and not as 'black' person or white it would be so much better.

    Easier said than done I know.

    yeah dat was rly my main point was just it’s not as simple as making a responsible or irresponsible choice in some places.

    and that comparison wasn’t 1:1 for sure I’m just providing examples of how no matter how much u prepare, anything regarding American healthcare is far more economic in nature than moral, from birth to health complications

    Yeah it slowly blows over to here. But thats not their fault its because people here pick up on it and have nothing better to do than b---- about things that are not a major issue here.

    People in europe have no idea how great they have it lol.

    Its not that I always agree or am 100% behind everything but I think we have no reason to complain about our government or anything except that I think they're too soft on criminals. But we have a good thing here.

    In a lot of ways definitely, but as I said we have our issues (each country different) and EU as a whole some as well.

    U.K. is an interesting country because similar to the U.S., they’ve had a surge of far-right authoritarian esque politics become popular in recent years. Tbh I still think the median U.K. voter is probably notably to the left than the median U.S. voter. I actually just saw this today:
