{COVID-19} Coronavirus Pandemic III: Second Wave Preperation

[D44kpunk]

sorry boys, anything left of biden is pretty left. you're compared to your peers not your imagination

your peers are average american voters, just fyi.

when people call you a liberal or far left they are referring to how you compare to american voters, no one is comparing you to Switzerland

[Zealot]

i suspect this is relative to where "elsewhere" is, north korea, russia, china, etc i dont think they are very liberal are they?

Yes, compared to actual fascist and authoritarian dictatorships we are still more liberal.

The U.S. is seeing a shortage of coins due to retailers that have been closed during the pandemic causing a lack of distribution. Retailers are now posting messages to avoid cash sales until the situation ends.

Atlanta, GA mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms has tested positive.

You don't actually know what the far left is.

People who want to see far left in this country: look no further than Seattle. From giving out needles to junkies to the no-police-zone, I can't think of another city as left as Seattle.

Safe injection sites a)aren't limited to Seattle and b)aren't a new and crazy "far left" idea. They've been around in other parts of the world for a while now

In this country, they are 100% considered far-left, at least, within the scope of the nation in which we live. They are the absolute antithesis of Republican ideology. The ultimate hand-out against the philosophy of personal reliance and self-determination (regardless of how true or false that actually is in reality).

You are, however, 100% correct that the US was not the first to have them.

Oh, right. You're Canadian. I suppose it wouldn't be the "nation in which we live" then. Not for you, at least.

Harm reduction sites and areas also help with reducing the stigma surrounding addiction and being able to get help. Countries that have decriminalized drugs say sharp declines in deaths, overdoses and addiction rates.

Absolutely correct, all of it. My point wasn't regarding its effects or effectiveness, merely that within the US, its is an extremely, overwhelmingly Liberal stance to take.

Believe me, you don't need to go out of your way to tell me dumb the US is. We (the rest of the planet) are well aware lol

In pretty much every other country on earth, giving out clean needles saves a lot of money on health care as it lowers the risk of them getting various diseases. It's cheaper to give out needles than treating them.

The same can't be said about the US though, since health care isn't free. So I do see the point in not doing it outside of morals.

Free health care is about more than just treating the sick; it's about preventing them from getting sick in the first place. Encouraging healthier life styles, treating mental disorders, teaching children about safe sex, etc.

Meh not anymore. Not since white rural areas and suburbia started getting decimated by opioids and methamphetamines and it wasn't only a problem affecting poor black and brown people anymore.

WHY

[arus2001]

ICE also apparently mandating that any student here on a visa has to go back to their home country if their college is doing online courses. Keep it classy, bigots.

A Florida mother allegedly took her high-risk teenage daughter to a “COVID party” at their church, tried treating the girl at home with unproven drugs when she got sick — and then hailed her as a patriot after she died.

Another dose of Florida Woman for you guys.
