      Trust me, literally no one from the US needs a reminder that our health care system sucks. We think about that all the time.

        Then go and vote for better politicians. Talk to those who don’t. Try to reason, get them to understand.

          I live in one of the bluest states; I actually like our politicians well enough. My district’s house rep in particular has been consistently on the right side of every important vote I’ve checked up on. As a result, though, I don’t exactly have a lot of contact with the crazier part of the population.
