@JCAlexandreWrites Partisan spite is so real
@JCAlexandreWrites Two reasons.
We don't have the safety nets other societies have.
Who can afford to strike when health care tied to employment?
Why do you think Pelosi & Reid never pushed the promised Medicare Buy in?
The other, corporate news media made Socialism a dirty word.
In all seriousness, the real reason why Americans don't protest more like Europeans is because we Americans lack solidarity.
If one half of America protests something, the other half with counter-protest--and not even out of principle, but more out of partisan spite.
If one half of Americans rally for clean air, the other half with modify their exhaust pipes to release more toxic fumes into the air just to "own the libs."
