Whether you like it or not, until green energy technology advances our world is reliant on oil. Europe showed that. Best not to be be against oil right now.

No, I'd rather not be held hostage by Saudi Arabia who can jack up prices anytime they want.

Keep oil production the same but invest heavily in energy diversification which would bring true energy independence.

Both these guys are bought. One is a closet democrat the other is running as the democrat

No, you could get private insurance via an employer, but your insurance would go away as soon as you left or were let go.

Premiums, deductibles, and co-pays are all much higher with private insurance however.

Which is why I laugh at anyone who tries to criticize Medicare since it keeps costs low for users.

Hey so is this subreddit just allowing drive-by political shilling now or what? Jesus this is downright ridiculous tonight.

You don't even understand the definitions of the words you're using.

Just Google the word socialism and tell me what it says. Also, don't try and justify changing the definition of words to fit a weird and gaslighting type narrative that justifies Medicare is "socialized".

There have been 4 of these in the last hour alone. If there were stupid low effort “fEtTeRmAn BaD” memes being posted every 15 minutes instead of “oZ bAd”, I’d feel the exact same way.

If his performance tonight wasn’t scary enough, the censorship and PR campaign being run on here and elsewhere surely is. It’s amazing how everyone thought Fetterman did great tonight

The debate was over as soon as Fetterman said, "Hi, good night."

You mean, like how I did in my first post? (without insulting you, I might add)

In a socialized medicine system, the government (or any entity really) controls the sole means of production and distribution of healthcare. No private insurance. What you're describing is a welfare capitalist state.

Poli science 101, but maybe you aren't educated enough this topic.

You're playing semantics.

You're argument is that Medicare is not socialized medicine since it does not employ the doctors and own the hospitals, but I'd say it's closer to socialized medicine due to its ability to provide healthcare to everyone.

My argument is that medicare is not socialized because there are multiple (infinite for arguments sake if you're rich) sources of private healthcare options for every American. The definition of "socialized" means that the government (or any centralized entity - THE PEOPLE) have a monopoly on all that is healthcare. They are VERY different.

Medicare is capitalist welfare.

Oh golly gee.... Yet another totally organic shit-tier meme from an activist account that exclusively posts memes regarding different campaigns across the county.

That aside: Fetterman's meme references did him no favors in this debate. He acted like a little kid with the outbursts and interruptions, not to mention the terrible answers. Trying to be hip with the references didn't help.

Fracking. I’m for fracking. I support Fracking. Thank you Mr Fetterman

That seems like a bit of an extreme stance but I was hoping to get an understanding of what Fetterman stood for and what some of his actual plans are but I couldn’t comprehend anything like that from what he was saying. Debates aren’t everything but it at least give people a chance to hear candidates out, apart from those god awful campaign commercials, and after an hour I couldn’t tell you one moment where he gave any details about what he truly intends to do. It was just a bad look listening to him trying to form complete sentences.
