You guys should adopt something like us brits where you pay a tax for free healthcare for all, national insurance is an awesome idea imo.

Anything would be better than the system we have now. Yes, I agree that healthcare should be available for everyone, but penalizing people, esp. with increasing premiums and with a fee for those who don't enroll, that's not a good motivator. The other problem is my boss just cut my hours, just when I was about to get the minimum coverage plan, but now I can't even afford that, much less paying off my student loans. It needs a serious overhaul. Clinton would undoubtedly keep Obamacare going and premiums skyrocketing.

Word of advice: Always look at people with an open mind, the moment you take a side, youre only getting that sides piece of information, once you begin opening up however, you get the bigger picture, and not only that but you can finally make a decision for yourself, dont be the sheep you call others. I totally understand why people vote trump, its the same reason people join ISIS, fear. Fear is the most powerful emotion, it consumes your thoughts, all you can do is fear, Trump capitalised on this, he made Americans fear minorities even though there is no reason for it. The worst kind of fear is that, that is irrational. I can also see the idea of a wall being very appetising, but in all honesty people will find ways, its the true power of humanities relentlesness. Temporarily banning muslims wont help either becuase those muslims could just lie.

*this comic was most likely made by a Trump supporter, therefore rendering the point it's trying to make invalid because of bias*

I had no clue the temp was filled with so many ignorant people, you guys know a lot about tech, not so much politics or economics.

No one voted because of fear, people voted on who they wanted to win and the way the country will be shaped and run. The minority just cant see or understand it, we went through this with brexit.. give it a few weeks and you will accept defeat.

It was obviously fear. He brought up ideas of walls and banning entire religions how is that not fear? Brexit was a different issue. While i did vote in, I do like the way england is handling this.

Look at this @mech don't waste your time. The intellectual doesn't understand how stupid he just made himself look. Says he understands why people voted Trump. Then he compares him to isis. Top fucking kek.
You understand nothing. You and @mech just show me how pathetic you are that you have to use ad hominem to make your own points look good. Here, I'll take part, you obviously have the reading comprehension of a five year old, I said people join ISIS due to fear, in this case fear of the west.
