Comments by "JLH" (@Kyarrix) on "How Joe Biden Defeated Donald Trump | NYT Opinion" video.
I'm not a fan of you mocking so-called lefties. Lefties like Bernie Sanders would be the answer to so much that is messed up here. The same insulin from the same factory costs nine times more here than it does in Canada. A cancer drug that is lifesaving costs 50 times more here than it does outside of the country. Corporations and profit rule this country and unallayed capitalism is in fact a death spiral. Why? Because wealth concentrates in an ever fewer number of hands. This means no middle class. It also means that people are far more susceptible to the manipulation of politicians. The whole Trump movement, Qanon, all of this stems from the belief of people who are being squeezed that progress is a zero-sum game. That if minorities and women are making advances, that it will come at the expense of the working class, modestly educated white man. And unfortunately under the system as it exists right now, they're not entirely wrong. There is no justification for one person to have 50 billion dollars. No one earns that money. The people who earn that money are those who are being paid a minimum wage so low that they are eligible for food stamps. The loud left that you are scolding by implication? In any other country these lefties would be considered extremely moderate centrists. Get your act together please, videos like this have a certain influence and that influence should be used to educate. Not indoctrinate.
