Like i dunno it's one thing for him to be outright evil and doing evil for evil purposes, but he's literally a fucking u.s. senator with all the power and authority and ability to find real information that entails, and he seems to genuinely think that that is what the american public is paying. I don't even know what that is. It's like an ignorance so deep and so profound and so thoroughly rotted from within that it's become evil in and of itself

I sincerely hope i live to see the day he becomes john fettered man

All politicians should be legally required to use the most basic tier of Medicaid, with all of the requirements except for age and all of the bullshit the poorest person in the country goes through trying to apply. They should be legally required to apply for and use SNAP at the level allocated for their immediate family size if they want to eat. They should be moved into public housing via the same waitlist as everyone else. John Fetterman is such a fucking vampire because he's allowed to be. He should endure what humans have to.

Also, they have to take public transportation and their kids can't go to private schools. A socdem essay on this that's a good read.

think-about-it What's going to happen to John Fetterman if he's waiting three months for an appointment at an overworked public clinic and can't get a hot meal with his SNAP card so he's doubling down on preserved foods? I've seen the single medicaid bed at a nursing home. If that person coughs they're shipped to the emergency room so that they can lose their housing and be shipped to a worse nursing home. The people John Fetterman would be can only be compared to I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream.
