    Yet, they still vote them in.

    Next chance: coming November.

    This time I reckon some MAGA boys and girls were affected themselves. Will it make up their minds? Probably not. Sigh.

    Some interesting history I didn’t know about:

    Wow, I didn’t know that Republicans have blocked us from having a national healthcare system for this long… here’s hoping 2028 is the year we finally change that, and we elect a President and majority in Congress that supports Medicare for All.

    It’s a great system.

    You can’t leave your employer or you risk losing your healthcare. And prior to ACA you might not be able to get new coverage if you developed any health history during your employment. So you were completely stuck.

    You can’t be unemployed and have any level of basic coverage without having a way to pay for it.

    Someone sets up shop in the middle of everything to collect rents.

    There’s far more… but it’s really to benefit insurance companies, who serve no purpose, except to make profit by denying medical care. And other companies by providing an insurance desperate workforce.

    Completely in line with Republican values.

    They have blocked everything to uplift citizens. The have passed all the uplifts for the rich. Vote blue down ballot and never vote R again.

    Maybe you should try winning an election and make meaningful changes like Trump the Great has done.

    Every time a do nothing Democrat gets in office they do nothing.

  7. The proper response would be to stop or continue to refrain from casting any vote for Republican candidates. They deserve to be voted out to oblivion.

    And Joe Lieberman, the democrat who railed against violent videos games for years had the deciding vote for Medicare for all and he flipped. We won’t get healthcare as one party is evil and the other is lazy and entitled.
