people picked wealth over human rights and healthcare.

Let's not pretend that either human rights or healthcare were on the ballot in 2024.

The republicans came within a vote of defunding Obamacare in 2018 and have talked about kicking out immigrants for a generation. To say that neither of those things were on the ballot is incredibly naive.

Sorry, I thought you meant universal healthcare, not a half measure from a decade and a half ago.

Democrats already adopted republican border policy last year.

Neither was on the ballot. Neither candidate wanted universal healthcare, and neither was going to protect civil rights.
