👎 This kind of thing sucks. Especially from "progressives." Dental health is a nightmare everywhere in this country and does not correspond to political values.

Truth. The worst dental care in the developed world. The privatization of health care in America is and will continue to be diabolical.

Not knowing who OP is, this reads like a threat

“lol hahaha they’re poor…” fuck off

There are a lot of people who don't go to the doctor because they can't afford it. Even when they are seriously ill. I'm not sure why anyone would be surprised that people also can't afford to go to the dentist!

lol i read this as a left criticism like “poor people dont support her.” need to detox from online a bit

I’m a solid progressive and am missing two teeth thanks to questionable dental care 🤷‍♂️

This country absolutely does not abide symbols of poverty. I’m missing three teeth because my adhd makes healthcare not only unaffordable, but a bureaucratic nightmare i usually can’t navigate.

My teeth are all fucked up because even when healthcare was nationalised here, that wasn't, and it isn't cheap. Also, I feel in the US dentists/hygienists, one of the premiere Small Business Tyrant occupations, are mostly republicans and more likely to be in the tank for the country club guy.

Don't forget that many who claim to be "progressive" are actually massively classist intellectual snobs.

I'll add to that: everyone should block Alex Cole on principle. He isn't any kind of progressive. He's just an engagement farmer who changes what he's posting to catch the current wave.
