We’ve voted blue no matter who for decades and look where it got us.

30 million more people with health insurance? Raising taxes on billionaires instead of cutting them?

Maybe democrats should do something to earn our votes.

Nobody who voted for Harris were trying to do a f*cking personal favor for her. We were all trying to do ourselves and the country a favor. Some other person has to earn your right to permit you to do yourself a personal favor? The rest of us are simply claiming that right for ourselves because we would be fools not to.

Health insurance isn’t health care. It’s a swindle literally concocted by the Heritage Institution to shovel government money to private insurers in exchange for crap insurance. Yes, Project 2025 Heritage Institute.

What a bright, shining example of progress.

Do you get it yet? Democrats are doing republicans’ work for them and holding their hands out to billionaires.
