    Thr horshoe no longer exists today in any meaningful way, but it did for a brief moment pre tea party. There used to be a group of people that believed in both universal health care and understood risk pools, and would not directly vote to restrict personal rights. Pretty small group now.

      You mean social democrats (or just slightly left leaning Democrats for USians)? TIL they are a mixture of extreme right and extreme left.

      Never did. Because it’s a theory.

          What does any coast have to do with this topic? Is this some sort of US-defaultism?

          Or age, for that matter?

          I note that you did not address my argument btw.
