      One is rusty shitbox, the other is radioactive rusty shitbox that is also on fire.

      I genuinely don’t understand what people think happened between 2017 and 2021. The idea that democracy ended, the country collapsed, and we all got radiation poisoning and died seems systemic.

      Two of those four years even had a Dem majority in the legislature, ffs.

        Biden completely ignored helping healthcare and tuition debt UNTIL he lost the majority. Democrats rely on letting Republicans take the heat for the conservative legislation they want to enact.

          Biden completely ignored helping healthcare and tuition debt UNTIL he lost the majority.

          Well, he was convinced that he could pass bipartisan legislation back in 2021.

          Why? Who the fuck knows. Presumably because he’d slept through the 111th United States Congressional cycle.

          They hated him because he spoke the truth.

            If he worked quickly, he wouldn’t have to pass legislation with Republican permission. Better healthcare is akin to socialism to the two main parties. Biden and Obama would rather have the garbage on the “open market”. Imagine paying $400 a month (for individual) and the best you can get is to lock emergency care to a few grand (which is better than nothing - the Democrat motto).

            Seriously, have you ever had free market insurance? It’s horrible; thankfully my job offered to pay most of the monthly cost until I found a job with better healthcare. That was a few years ago; it’s worse now. The open market is not a replacement for good healthcare; and the good work-group based healthcare is not offered with every job in the first place.

            I’m sorry but I did not understand this reference. Which person are you referring to and what did this person say?
