It's because the sad fact of the matter is that both of our political parties are working together to fuck us.
I don't know how else to interpret this.
I think it's much more obvious that one party cares about decorum no matter what is going on.
Oh thank god for decorum.
Glad to hear that one party is playing by imagined rules and that the other party is playing by what is actually written.
Good thing that we're getting fucked either way.
I don't think that many people have realized this yet, but we are all fucked no matter who is in office.
It's very evident that nothing is getting better no matter who from our two choices is in charge.
I'm actually losing weight (that I don't need to lose) because the cost of living is too high. I've had to start working more, and it's barely helping.
Thank the good lord that the DNC is following decorum though. So glad that they're being polite while we are being absolutely fucked.
I wasn't implying it was a good thing, just the explanation of why they don't get more done.
That said, they have improved a few things. It just isn't as much as we need. Insulin, for example, is in a much better place, and that should be expanding to cover more drugs. Thr democrats are significantly better than the Republicans. They are not both the same. They just aren't as good as we deserve.
I'm sorry to vent at you. It wasn't really meant to be directed at you. I'm just very frustrated.
My girlfriend is a diabetic, and insulin is indeed more affordable. It still costs her about $120 a month for something that costs pennies to produce.
My real point though, is that it doesn't matter who is in power. Things are getting dramatically worse every year no matter who is in the White House.
The Supreme Court is obviously completely fucked. They literally made it legal for them to be bribed. And they are not elected by citizens, and also have a lifetime appointment.
There is nothing that we as citizens can legally do to curb their power. We are quite literally at their mercy, and they are not being merciful.
And I haven't even touched on our actual real long-term problems.
