CMV: American politics was designed to give us all mental disorders

In the US our parties have become ideologically sorted. About 50 years ago there used to be “liberal republicans” and “conservative democrats”. Today that’s almost non existent. In other countries parties are often forced to be more centrist to attract coalition parties. In the US, because it’s a winner takes all system, the constant 4-8 year shift between republican and democrat now feels like a total change in the countries identity constantly and on loop for our entire lives.
Because of this dynamic, as a collective we basically have BPD, DID, Schizo personality disorder, and bipolar disorder. The political related violence in our streets and in our societies closely resemble regular manic episodes. It appears to be manufactured this way and somehow the rich is almost always benefited from this dynamic. Every leader we shift to almost always tends to use selective empathy as a proxy, like claiming to care about LGBT and immigrants, or claiming to care about the economy and individual liberty, and this is because emotional manipulation is the primary tactic that schizophrenics claim the “voices inside their head” use on them as well to justify the harmful acts they do to themselv

CMV: All jobs should have health insurance, even part-time

This post is specifically about the US. I know that a lot of other countries already have free healthcare.
I think the government should force companies to offer health insurance benefits to all their employees, even part-time workers. **Of course, the government could also implement universal healthcare, but I don't have much faith in them doing that anytime soon, so I think this solution would work for now.**
I think it's kind of ridiculous that you could work a job (any job) and not get health insurance benefits. As of right now, companies over a certain size have to offer their full-time workers health insurance benefits, but they get around this by scheduling people part-time so they don't have to pay for it.
This would also be good for the economy since there would be more healthy workers. Also, someone who's disabled (or otherwise preoccupied) might say something like, "I can manage working part-time at Starbucks (or wherever)" because now they don't have to worry about losing their Medicaid benefits and therefore their health insurance.
In anticipation of counterarguments, an exception might be made for small businesses since I don't know if they could afford it. But big bu
