The problem is not this bloke. The problem is the people that voted for him.

sugar_in_your_tea,

Maybe. But in many areas, only one party realistically has a shot, so reps basically get elected in their primary process. So instead of needing a majority of the total population to win, you just need a plurality of the few who get involved in the primary process.

Blame the people involved in the primary process, not the people who only vote in the general election.

Is this Free Healthcare in the room with us now, you miserable ghoul?

What free healthcare?

Blackmist, do games w Young men are 'playing videogames all day' instead of getting jobs because they can mooch off of free healthcare, claims congressman

Yes, that’s why they’re at home all day, and ignoring all the well paid jobs out there with free healthcare that I’m sure they’d get if they just went door to door with a résumé like these ghouls pretend they did in the 1950s.

Lmfao what free healthcare?

A_Random_Idiot,

Seriously. I’d love some free healthcare.

I’d probably be able to be more functional if I had proper healthcare.

This whole thing of “Free healthcare = leeches” is fucking insulting.

The problem is that voters are so damn stupid that someone can make a statement like this without being interrogated.

ShaggySnacks,

Or the media will be like “Yeah, that makes sense” and will not push back.

RagingRobot,

Yeah they just move on and don’t even call out the lie. Then people see it and assume it’s true

LookBehindYouNowAndThen,
some_guy,

I’d be happy to oblige them. Good call.

Y’all got free healthcare?

Kazumara, do games w Young men are 'playing videogames all day' instead of getting jobs because they can mooch off of free healthcare, claims congressman

The argument is utterly stupid.

Ignoring that it is building on a fantasy reality for the moment. Even if you had free healthcare, and if only the financial costs of survival motivated people to get jobs, then the other costs of living, like for food and shelter, would still provide that motivation.

impetchewus,

Um also, can I get some of that free healthcare? Cuz I have NEVER received free healthcare in my life!

TheObviousSolution, do games w Young men are 'playing videogames all day' instead of getting jobs because they can mooch off of free healthcare, claims congressman

So basically, they are mooching off of free healthcare - by performing by one of the most risk free activities that is almost going to guarantee they won’t need healthcare in the first place?

MAGA tactic:

Take negative stereotype, say it is preventing a desirable goal from being reached, then say it is because of what you are actually trying to cut. Doesn’t matter if they barely have any real relation to each other.

Wait, I can get free healthcare playing video games? Where?!?

Young men have no idea what health care is, nor do they care.

They are healthy and heal fast.

They are the ones who traditionally pay in and dont take out.

vaultdweller013,

As someone who is 25 I must agree, not only do I not give a damn I actively welcome death. Shitty fucken eyesight not withstanding, I think there’s thinner ballistic glass

Shut the fuck up, boomer. No seriously, get that dated, old man yells at cloud bullshit out of politics.

ThatGirlKylie, do games w Young men are 'playing videogames all day' instead of getting jobs because they can mooch off of free healthcare, claims congressman

This is just the “violent video games make people violent” argument from the 90s and 00s. Fear mongering at its core.

RizzRustbolt,

“These violent games make you violent!” “These cozy games make people lazy!”

Sometimes I think they just complain because it’s a fetish for them.

ThatGirlKylie,

That darn avocado toast!
