And we know for a fact the reason your model of socialism won't work here isn't just fear of socialism or communism; it's racism. It's that millions of white Americans absolutely froth at the mouth with the thought that black and brown Americans might receive white tax dollars. Poor white Americans would rather go without healthcare than have their tax dollars go to help Americans who don't look like them. That's a fact.

Discussion is fine, but your core argument that your views aren't based on your race and gender are flat wrong. Your race and gender 100% influence your views, just as they do for everyone else. You're not different than the rest of us.
