idk man I just need to vent i guess
my employer “provides” health insurance in exchange for my time and labor, and for that great privilege they take $600 out of my paycheck every month (covers me, my wife, and our 1yo son)
that’s half our monthly mortgage payment; it’s 2/3 our monthly grocery bill
why?
I’m sure Trump’s concepts of a plan will fix all these problems
Sure. Let granny die in a ditch, just like the good ol’ days.
Here comes the political brainrot…
You do understand that these discussions can be had with out left right circle jerk?
Unfortunately, it can’t, because politicians in this country can literally be bribed by individuals and corporations to pass legislation in their favor. Studies have shown over and over again that Universal Healthcare is absolutely cheaper than paying premiums, but it will probably never happen. Because of greed.
best we got is ACA is which is legalized corruption and extortion.
nothing will change as long people vote for the regime.
Why should we not call out the problem when we all want a solution? Conservatives have been the primary henchmen for the ultra-wealthy for generations now.
Neoliberals and Republicans are all conservative shitbags who have ruined our lives for profit. They are all worthy of death, according to some clever French revolutionaries.
Naive
Yes, you are, or disingenuous. You are part of the problem.
You understand “both sides bad” perpetuates the rot? Of course I was just being sarcastic about the Dotard but if we’re ever going to get universal healthcare passed we need to drive the Wrong Wing out of Congress.
Both sides are bad in fact… You got a lot to learn how the US regime functions my dear.
Vote for either side is vote for the regime.
Vote for anybody else is to deny this regime legitimacy.
Fuck Putin.
No, vote for anyone else is to confirm the GOP’s corruption of democratic principles continues. Take one look at the third-party candidates and even entire “parties” that are actually GOP plants. Destruction of the whole system is their true goal because it makes a fascist takeover easier. Too bad you won’t get anything from them even though you’re helping them.
We have been suffering the two parties taking turns fucking us for decades.
Vote for either party is the vote to support this regime.
Vote for anyone else is letting the system know you are not playing.
“GOP wins” is not a fucking platforms mate… If y’all want people to vote for Democrats, make decmorats do something for the people.
This clowns can’t take proper position omnthe genocide… JFC
I don’t like it either, but I have enough of a rational thought process to recognize that in a FTTP system, independently voting for the little guy instead of the Democrats is only increasing the odds of Trump accelerating the decline of this country.
When the only thing that counts towards the election is the majority vote amongst your neighborhood, and your neighborhood is almost exclusively voting either Democrat or Republican, you’re wasting your vote on a third party. If the goal is to give the worst of the bad options a better chance of succeeding, by all means, keep trying to convince people online to throw away their anti-Trump vote. If the goal is to actually replace the two majority parties whose actual constituents are rich capitalists and not their voters, then start locally and grow outward.
For some people genocide is a deal breaker… For others “never again” has a different meaning 🤡
