The Thread of Democrats

[Sean Hayden]

About Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's request for a raise:

“Nah, really I shouldn’t care about their struggles. Would it be ok if I went to HR and said, pay me 5K more or I’ll start embezzling? Nope. Every city in America is expensive, if u can’t figure it out on 175K then no I don’t think u have the life skills to be sitting in Congress.”

We are getting buried in fake Trump "patriotism," a sort of foam that covers all. Democrats need to stick to burning issues like healthcare. Trump is even ruining Medicare by cutting funds.
Need Bernie Warren and maybe Harris to get to work. Tweet, yell

This Is the Agenda America Needs': Sanders Fires Back After Biden Attacks Medicare for All and Other Progressive Solutions
"I'm proud to be working with AOC and so many other Democrats to pass Medicare for All, debt-free college, and a Green New Deal," said Sen. Bernie Sanders
Biden suggested he supports allowing Americans to buy in to Medicare instead of going all the way to Medicare for All, which he slammed as disruptive and costly despite studies showing it would save the U.S. trillions of dollars in overall healthcare spending.

The Biden thing is not going to work. We need EVERYONE on Medicare, then sell additional insurance for fancy new cures and fancy cutting edge surgeries and cures. Or more coverage while in hospital, where everyone gets all the outpatient surgery they need.

All the healthcare in the world isn't going to save us from the path we're on Tero. If the Democrats can't get off the warmongering we're fucked.

I'm tired of it. As far as I'm concerned the blatant lying that has gone with it --for decades-- makes the US government illegitimate. They can no longer assume to have either our support or tolerance. They cannot ask us to trust them. They can't demand support for anything till they get a lot more transparent, and someone is held accountable for where we are now and where they are taking us.

Until then, fuck them.

Sorry, I realize that there can be only one. I guess I just kinda felt bad for all the others out there for a minute. It'll pass. There's no reason to add this little bit to my file, honest.

And Trump. What is Trump going to do for you in 2021? Write more executive orders?

I'll put my trust in Makhosetive Mswati III, The Great Lion, and the Queen Mother, Inkhosikati LaTfwala, The Great She-Elephant.

[Sean Hayden]

I'm not voting for the guy. I'll be voting for the Democrat.

To anyone disappointed by the ranting style: get over it. Or, come on and post an account of US involvement in foreign conflicts that renders an emotional response to the lying at the heart of all of it, inadequate.

You can't go wrong with a giant lion and she-elephant looking out for you. That's better than a pack of pits and an AR. Plus you can bribe your way out of a traffic ticket or DUI and the local weed is fucking primo shit. What's not to like?

You may even get your hands on a bonafide African landrace.

Yep, Swazi Gold is the real thing, original sativa landrace untouched by human breeding. It's technically illegal but unless you're dealing it's ignored, every farmer has a little plot of weed. I'll def have a garden.

Oh man, that's going to be amazing.

Just following the logic of your earlier posts. Bidenwillstart a war. But if Trump wins, he will not? Will he cut his own taxes again? Build a wall? What?

[Sean Hayden]

We are already at war, and in multiple places.

This is just crazy, but typical of the conversation in the US!

[Tero]

So Trump will MAGA and Biden will too?

I think you place too much emphasis on the President. I've mentioned this in the past. What do you think?
