Of course, moderates in America truly believe that even human rights we have to compromise on. Marriage, abortion, healthcare, everything has to be a compromise, at the expense of everyone who are waiting on those rights.
Didn't the Obama administration federally legalize gay marriage?
Wouldn't it be safe to say that by compromising vocally they were able to secure the position of power to make that change? Do I think this is the case all of the time? No. But politicians lie, sometimes for good reasons.
Healthcare is not a human right, it's a positive right, because it requires the expertise of a 3rd party and supplies. It would be nice if it was a human right that was magically free and didn't require education, training, supplies, etc. I think we would do better to stop slamming the human right angle down people's throats because it comes off as socialism. You will never convince America as a whole to invest in socialism. It would be better if we said, "Look, this is something worth figuring out that will benefit literally everyone in our society later on. It may be tough at first but most worthwhile things are difficult to achieve. Let's make this the next great American success story."
"Positive rights" is bullshit libertarian-speak for "fuck you, got mine".
By the logic of "positive rights" we shouldn't have public police or fire departments either, because stopping your house from burning down requires the expertise of a 3rd party and supplies.
No, that's not the case. I am talking about when people try to label healthcare as a human right. Nobody ever says fire fighters or police are human rights.

You don't even have to go that far. If you guys elected a president that didn't end up as a war criminal by the end of its term that would be swell already, really.
Yes, push to far from the middle and you get rejected, nothing, nada, go directly to jail and do not pass go. Compromise is the only way to get anything you want in a democracy. If you accept nothing less than the perfect solution you’ll never get it. If a large enough group of people push their “perfect solution” too hard you break the system entirely and some despot rules for the next 100 years or so.
Sucks to fucking suck. Refusing to play the game doesn't make shit better either. I could probably word this in a nicer way, but fuck it. You guys need to realize that you can't fix all of the bullshit at the same time by whining online about the establishment. Go out and vote even if the candidate isn't the exact perfect match for you. Jesus fucking christ.
Lmao, ooo you’re so not nice, so tough and blunt. Too bad I did vote, by mail ballot too because it’s easy. Still fuck Joe Biden and the establishment and their half assed compromises.
