I challenge you to find any post in which I have said that. I make no apology for believing that supporting the Democrats to give more Americans access to healthcare is better than supporting the Republicans who want to repeal the policies that have widened access. You might think compromise to bring about incremental improvements is a bad thing and that it's better to have nothing at all until agreement on universal healthcare is achieved but what about the people who will die in the meantime because they can't afford treatment NOW?2. In the US politics forum, when the Republicans had the Presidency and control of the senate about 90% of your posts were attacking the Democrats. Now that the Democrats have the Presidency and control of the senate about 90% of your posts are attacking the Democrats. Therefore is it not reasonable to assume that you prefer the Republicans to be in charge over the Democrats? If you disliked both parties equally why is your criticism overwhelmingly in one direction only?3. To say I don't want to have a conversation about universal healthcare in the USA is a load of small spherical objects. I have discussed it many times with you on many threads in the US Politics forum. I just feel passionately about the rights of people with learning disabilities so I didn't want to have that conversation on THIS thread because I wanted it to stay on topic.4. As far as supporting the US Democrats and disliking the UK Conservative Party there is no conflict there. The UK Tories are racist, anti-working class, anti-low income, anti-environmental Party. I think the same about the US Republican Party which is why I support the Labour Party here and the Democrats in the USA. Predictably you will say but the Democrats are also all those things too but in reality is they are no where as bad and will do far more to enact policies that support the causes I believe in than the Republican Party ever will.  The Democrats are not perfect, the Labour Party are not perfect but they are both far better than the alternatives and that includes voting for a third party which only has the effect of ensuring the main right-wing party by default.5. I've never tried to stop you from expressing your views. In fact, for quite a while now I had giving up on responding to your posts on the US Politics forum to give you a free run on posting whatever you like there without being challenged by me. However, that doesn't seem to be enough for you so you now bring your attacks on the US Democrats into threads about UK politics.</blockquote>
