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.
So, you're ignoring the coup attempt now?
Imagine a world in which and angry mob had caught up with Mike Pence, Steve Scalisce, and Scott Walker.
You should apologize for the poor trillions of electrons that died to spread your bullshit.
Oh, you mean the pink hats? Who invaded the capitol like two years prior?
Get professional help before you hurt yourself or others. I am not saying this as a joke.
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.
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?
