Current Affairs The 2020 United States Presidential Election

[Tubey]

This was kind of the impression I’ve always gotten from all the British people I’ve ever talked with about it. I’ve heard some people take issues with bureaucratic stuff about the NHS, but the institution itself seems to be almost above reproach, and something Brits are fiercely proud of. Kind of similar to how the military is viewed here.

Well, "proud" is a bit of a stretch. I mean you guys will be proud of the people who work in your system; same as us here. I mean the Tories, who are as close to anti-NHS as you can get, have won election after election lately, so the NHS isn't the fierce electoral hot button topic it once was, due to widespread understanding that the thing isn't perfect.

It's more that we take it for granted because it's common sense that healthcare should be free at the point of access when needed. Like a basic human right. For us, we find your system totally demented.

Sorry to disappoint you but no.

Biden has been far better last 10 mins. Trump on race is always going to fall apart.

Oh sorry which formerly banned person are you?

Have you introduced yourself in the new signings forum yet?

I can just imagine the howls of laughter from African-American families across the country when Trump keeps repeating that he has done more for the African-American community than any president apart from (perhaps) Lincoln

I thought I must have misheard it

You actually did. Went back and rewatched it. He said “go ahead” to the moderator.

That's the thing - your system is so mental that the rest of the world struggles to understand how it exists.

All you have to understand is that it is all for profit

Smite him @RAFUH

She banned me !!

In this forum, which was meant to be unbanable !!

At least had the class to revert it though.

I get that - I just don't get how people not only cope with it, but get proper terrified at the thought of not coping with it.

Should have had a half time in this debate.

Ah got it. Thanks

Because the people in power are the very upper-middle class and above you mentioned who do well within the system.

Trump fell apart as this progressed after a strong start, Biden hasn't had anything to take advantage.
