Trying to imagine the kind of person that actually downvotes comments like this... Genuinely curious, what are you even disagreeing with?
She double down the next day with a cringeful tweet insulting people as if mortality isn’t already widely understood. What an absolute trash human being.
I think to show how much she believes in these ideals she should refuse to step foot in any hospital or doctors office.
Healthcare is obviously not important since we're all gonna die. So lead by example!
Flu? No medicine. Pneumonia no doctor. Cancer? No treatment. She should be fine with this if we're all just gonna die anyway right?
Zero sympathy for the TACO supporters who voted for this shit.
If this was a Parody it would be made fun of for how comically and unrealistically evil it'd be.
Democrats pounced on Ernst's "going to die" line, with Democratic National Committee Chair Ken Martin saying she "said the quiet part out loud."
Martin said the remark shows Republicans don't care about "whether their own constituents live or die as long as the richest few get richer, and that’s precisely why they’re ramming through a budget bill that would rip away health care and food from millions of Americans, including kids and seniors."
That’s pretty much it in a nutshell. These are the people we need to be deporting to El Salvadoran prisons.
Ken Martin went on to say "I will personally guarantee that this bill will pass with Democratic votes."
Fuck the DNC.
wtf why would the DNC vote for this shit?
Why would every Democrat vote for Marco Rubio?
Why would Schumer whip votes to pass the CR in February?
Why would the DNC repeatedly sabotage Sanders, Ocasio-Cortez, Cori Bush, etc?
Got me, but that's what they do: they push things right and they fold.
We shouldn't be deporting anyone to Salvadorean prisons, except Salvadoreans duly convicted of crime.
Normally I’d agree with you, however it’s been shown time and time again that MAGAts simply don’t get it until it affects them personally, so time to start affecting them personally.
100% Agree. They aren't going to play by the rules. Not ever. So they just need to be eliminated. Even if WE have to break the rules to do it. Once that is done, we can get back to everyone playing by the rules, and we can set up some actual rule-based enforcement mechanisms that in the future cannot simply be ignored by people because of their title.
I mean, that’s one way to look at it.
It's wild how comfortable the capital class has gotten with discounting the lives of the workers whose necks they stand on to live their lives of luxury. They used to at least pretend to care. They didn't, but they knew they had to pay lip service to it.
In most online spaces if you advocated for the changes to their lives they openly work for every day to implement on us in order to squeeze an extra penny out of our lives, you'd risk a ban.
I genuinely don't understand the complacency, or why the social contract is so manipulable by euphemism. They might as well be stabbing us, but it is apparently okay to do so as long as they don't call it that.
but it is apparently okay to do so as long as they don't call it that
For a HUGE chunk of the population even that's okay, as long as someone they don't like is getting stabbed harder.
They keep getting elected, primarily because the voting populace believes any member of the other team is worse (and refuses to seriously consider any third party).
Also, money buys outcomes.
She should get sent a slew of assisted suicide pamphlets and other advocacy material. I mean, if dying is no big deal then why wait? The Lord will be there to embrace you on the other side!
For heaven's sakes, we gotta save money for those poor, abused, billionaires.
Right?? Wtaf??
‘We all are going to die’
Ok lady, you first.
“You first.”
You can almost taste the stupidity in the air these days.
like fried pennies.
That’s brimstone
There’s a reason Canada discontinued the penny.
So has the US, but I don’t think that’s gonna save us.
It’s not stupidity.. it’s evil
Her argument is that they are just cutting waste. Healthcare for people who are unemployed is apparently waste. You only get healthcare if you are working a shitty low paying job for someone who got a tax cut.
When is the mob with pitchforks meeting, and where?
No kings day June 14th
We're not fully at pitchforks yet but if you want to practice protesting, 50501 might be doing a "D-Day for Democracy" near you on June 7th, next Saturday
Rich vs. poor. Those with and those without. Always has been, always will be. Eat the rich.
Well, off with her head then. 🤷
The GQP's shrieks about Democrat death panels were always projection.
