This type of meme isn't helpful when people already think the Dem Party isn't for working class people and elites only lol. Trump listened to people issues about material needs even if he lied. It still worked. Harris and Dems went on the whole time not addressing issues with the economy. Adopting a real working class agenda and free college would do wonders and putting resources to getting the crazy folk away from Education.

Working classes don’t need healthcare or education? Quality of life is irrelevant? A strong economy doesn’t matter? One of the highest minimum wages doesn’t affect working class? I

Free college (depending on income)doesn’t matter?

It's probably more like no one has helped us improve our healthcare / education / quality of life, so we'll take a gamble on someone different.

Misses the actual pain points. These are good things objectively but these are not the things that people want change

Ever been to MA?

Crapton of working class people there. I mean a lot. It is possible to have top-tier education and health care yet have working class people in the same State.

Being a rural state does not by default equate to “working class”. If anything it probably means more people per capita on government assistance or in poverty.

Are Chicago, Detroit, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh not "working class" cities? I think there are a whole lot of people who would like a word with you for writing them off.

Almost as if working class people don't have to be stupid.

Second in American health care. ..

Obviously. What else would it be when comparing two American states.

a decent amount of americans seem to think they are the global best in every category so probably not obvious enough even.

I hate having to explain this to people when I talk about the insane cost of healthcare in the US.

"but US healthcare is the best so of course it's going to be the most expensive"

No, you moron. It's the exact same procedure by equally qualified doctors using the same equipment.

[–] Grass 2 points 6 days ago

meanwhile here it's generally not expensive, but we can't seem to come up with a reasonable way for foreign doctors to gain canadian credentials and continue to have waits anywhere from hours to coming the next day instead
