    I’m so sick of paying attention to politics…

    It’s all I’ve seen for decades now…

    Democrats suggest making people’s lives better and Republicans freak the fuck out about that being communism and then shovel public money at private ultra wealthy individuals… Propagandists sing songs of communism killing everyone and we move rightward again… Over and over and over and over and over.

    The “greatest” fucking goddamn achievement we have over the last 30 fucking years IS A REPUBLICAN MARKETS BASED HEALTHCARE PLAN. Even our goddamn so called achievements are fucking compromises for Republicans that they freak out about anyway because power > everything else to them…

    I’m so tired of this fucking story.

      Democratic citizens need to vote. They typically only get ~50% attendance in midterm elections, ~65% when correlating with presidential elections. Unlike presidential elections, you directly elect your representatives and senators.

      Sizable and prolonged congressional majority would help things immensely.
