Isn't it crazy that something so (for me at least) obvious is something we have to "fight" for?

What other things are obvious for you and we still have to fight for?

Stopping jerrymandering and voting purges, stopping oil subsidies, full supply carbon and recycling tax, political campaign spending caps, ending the two party system, ranked choice, raising the minimum wage, VAT tax, universal healthcare, using popular vote instead of electoral vote, privacy rights online and in person, etc....

The list can go on and on.

Raising minimum wage and universal healthcare should not be obvious.

These are massive dangerous changes that can literally cause death.

People are too confident. Humility would do us good.

How exactly would universal healthcare “literally cause death”?

Online anonymity.

This is complicated.

Russian Propagandists pretend to be patriotic Americans because of anonymity.

At the same time, a creepy person can generally find my home address.

I don't know of a good solution.
