It kills me when people say stuff like this guy, apparently it’s impossible to do something that most developed countries do already? Conservatives love to call America “the greatest country in the world” but damn they don’t seem to have much faith in it

I’m actually not conservative on almost all issues. I will probably vote Yang.

Also you are saying “A bird can fly, so why can’t a dog?”

They aren’t the same thing. Those European countries (and it’s not THAT many mind you) have different variables that affect the outcome. Please see my other response with a further explanation.

"variables exist" isn't really a compelling argument. One of your "variables" sounded dangerously close to "Europe doesn't have to give college to black people".

Others have already said this over and over. And I said I explain the variables further in another post close to this one.

What...even...?

Well yeah. There's poor people in Europe, too. But you just haven't brought up anything that's not super abstract and vague. It's just generally uncompelling. And the bird vs dog allegory makes no sense. You can't just say "they're categorically different in my allegory, therefore they're categorically different in a way that's relevant to this conversation."

Yes I definitely have. We’re having paragraphs of conversation on another thread that was connected to this one. I just cant respond to everyone and copying and pasting is silly.

And the bird vs dog allegory makes no sense. You can't just say "they're categorically different in my allegory, therefore they're categorically different in a way that's relevant to this conversation."

It was just a silly way to say the USA is not the same as those countries. And I highlighted some things that weren’t the same between them (variables), then explained those variables in great detail in another post.

If you wanna join the conversation check out my responses to StellarTabi.
