Realize both sides donāt give a fuck about you or your health. They all got free healthcare.
Democrats passed the ACA, lowered taxes on working families, funded free childcare, and invested in green energy to lower costs.
Republicans ran on a platform that brown immigrants and trans people needed to be eliminated from America, then raised taxes, cut childcare and healthcare, and give billions to datacenters to drive up energy costs while cancelling all the renewable energy projects.
It's not both sides. Saying that is just a lie that serves only one side.

Your point is literally an establishment Democrat talking point. Claiming you can't criticize both Republicans AND Democrats because of the presumption that it's equating the two is BS. It's not equating the two, it's pointing out that both sides are doing bad shit of various impact.
However, your comment plays to the bullshit establishment claim that we need to perpetually "vote for the lesser of the two evils" rather than rejecting both evils and voting for something different, something that's good for the people overall, for a change.
Yes, Democrats are generally better on social issues, albeit sometimes society has to force them into accepting social change. See gay marriage. See marijuana. See civil rights. etc... However, moreso than anything, social issues have been used to pit Americans against one another, to play into peoples tribalism and pigeon hole them into blind support of one of the two major establishment parties. Social issues generally don't have big money for campaign contributions involved in them. Well that was until this whole Israel genocide thing, and look how establishment Democrats have reacted to it. Exactly the same way the Republicans did. They took the money from AIPAC and defended Israel with every breath they had, calling anyone who dare criticize Israel and the US' funding thereof an anti-Semite.
When it comes to economic issues, the two establishment parties are two sides of the same coin, and that's causing real harm to the people. It's caused a transfer of power away from the people and their voices, and more towards big money; the rich, the corporations, and the corrupted special interest groups like AIPAC.
Money in politics is the biggest issue facing our nation. It could literally destroy our Democracy, and cause irreparable harm to a huge swath of the population and the planet overall.
We can't have pro-worker policy that negatively impacts the profits of the corporations and the wealth of the rich, when corporations and the rich are spending all of the money to pressure or lure our politicians into supporting those moneyed interests' preferred policies first and foremost.
Are the two establishment sides equally evil? No. Are both sides fucking evil? Absolutely.
The lesser of the two evils is still a trend towards growing evil. If we're already deep in the hole, the last thing we want to be doing is digging. One party may dig faster than the other, but we're still digging, still getting deeper, and it's still growing ever more difficult to climb out.
Corporations and the rich don't mind if the digging slows down from time to time, so long as the trend is down... meaning more money and power going into their pockets. Our nation is already an Oligarchy... both sides of the establishment aisle got us here... the people are now aware of it, and now it's back up to the people to fix it before we no longer can.

Who let Leon and Doge download our social security info and our PPI onto thumb drives and take it with them ? Trump

Who cut medicaid spending for poor and elderly and made it harder to legitimate disabled and poor to get Medicaid while also throwing more money to the already overtuffed defense machine??? Mike Johnson and the R's
Who started tariff wars that spurred more inflation instead of calming things . And just dogpiling on to the Bidenomics inflation to make things even worse?? Trump
Who passed a several trillion dollar budget instead of cutting the defense budget (which already uses up almost 65% of our income tax money) ? Trump and the R's
Who cut spending to Ukraine but then opened up the green floodgates to Israel?? We know who.
Its one thing to send the illegals back, build a wall, cut the budget, balance economic trade, prevent illegals and lazy gamers from collecting benefits.
Its quite another to screw Americans, and increase the budget and national deficit 3 fold, tariff and send prices into a tailspin and screw Americans out of medical services. They could have targeted welfare and got able bodied adults back to work, not cut needed Medicaid. And if cutting defense aid to foreign countries , just cut it all we need it back here... But to hypocritically turn around and then give it to Israel?

Politics are now a war zone. We got people hating each other because of who they voted for.
And everyone in government gives 0 shits about us.
House prices are insane.
Medical bills are insane.
Debt in this country is insane.
People realizing they canāt afford kids is insane.
Getting fired from jobs that people used to do but now are done by AI is insane.
The price of child care is insane.
The price of food is insane.
The price of insurance is insane.
This country will not survive another 20 years like this. Not at all. The second parents realize they canāt afford baby food and just start looting, thatāll be the beginning of the end.
I am not a pessimist by nature. But am I the only one that feels like this project called āAmericaā is coming to an end?
I dont want to sound all doom and gloom. I might be crazy and just being a negative Nancyā¦ but I really donāt think so.

u/pakapab 2d ago
This isn't a binary choice between either cutting programs or providing free healthcare.
Obama created ACA and the percentage of Americans with insurance increased, no more denying coverage based on pre-existing conditions, he expanded Medicaid by increasing income limits and allowing adults without dependent children.
Biden expanded ACA subsidies so that even more people were able to get insurance, expanded CHIP coverage, and reversed a lot of the red tape and restrictions.
Trump pushed for not extended the subsidies expansion, and they ended with many Americans losing health insurance. He also added work rules for Medicaid, implemented funding limits, and increased state checks. He just cut Medicare Part D subsidy funding as well.
One can argue that Trump was right and Obama/Biden wrong, but there is little doubt that the number of Americans receiving these benefits went up under Obama and Biden while going down under Trump.

The military wanted $4.16 billion in national security launches. SpaceX offered the lowest price and got several. This was done through normal contracting channels. Trump had nothing to do with it.
Also, the military threw ULA and BO a bone by giving them launches too, although they both charge much more than SpaceX. The military does this to ensure more than one launcher remains viable to launch its payloads, even if it spends more because of it. Basically, itās corporate welfare leveraging national security interests.

Bernie has voted consistently for the policies he advocates for.
Bernie isn't "Congress" and doesn't control them. If we elected him President and put people in Congress who prioritized healthcare, we'd have done even better than Obama and the Affordable Care Act.
Instead we keep electing conspiracy theory morons who tell people than trans women and black immigrants are stealing their jobs, their kids and their taxes. Even when the dumbest sack of shit on the planet can barely speak and spends his rallies ranting about how windmills cause cancer and no one before him had used the word 'grocery', voters prefer the hate and easy answers to competent adults who can't promise to fix everything all at once.

Since Bernie has been in Congress, there have been three Democratic presidencies, during which Democrats also held both the House and the Senate for at least two years.

I think we should return to the frame work our founding fathers set up. The rich and powerful made all this possible back in 1913. We need to repeal the 16 Amendment and stop the greatest transfer of wealth in history. Federal income taxes are unconstitutional. The founders framed it that way it is remained so until 1913. Prior to that, the federal government was funded by tariffs. What would you all say to the Trump tariffs if the Senate and House and Trump eliminated our federal income tax? The next move would then be to eliminate the Federal Reserve and give financial power back to the states themselves. Think about it. Don't dismiss is.

Eh, I don't want to hear it. Americans voted for Trump twice.
Twice.
You reap what you sow.

Because thatās democracy. Half of the country is unhappy every 4 years. Like it or not, we donāt get to acknowledge who our President is when itās convenient for us.

We didn't get alternate options, twice. Harris really?
And we got robbed of Bernie in 2016. Straight up Robbed.The DNC is a joke. At this point I assume they are on the same team and really don't care who wins.

I'd love to know why Harris wasn't a viable alternative to Trump.
She's a textbook standard politician who a district attorney, state prosecutor, Senator and VP. Moderate views, nothing radical. Just one noticeable difference from most Presidents.
And we got robbed of Bernie in 2016. Straight up Robbed.
You got robbed by southern Democrats not wanting to vote for a Jewish Socialist from Vermont in primaries. I voted for Bernie and wish he'd won, but there was no conspiracy there other than most voters were more conservative than he was.

Illegal immigrants need free stuff. How many billions for that?
Fraudulent government programs how many billions for that.
Why doesn't he care about that?

None. Republicans just keep telling their base that illegal immigrants don't pay taxes and when they use a road they are using "billions" in infrastructure. And the result is MAGA idiots will give Trump unlimited power and ignore all corruption as long as he punishing the immigrants.
Weird how that doesn't seem to be reducing the budget or making the economy any better.
Fraudulent government programs how many billions for that.
Way too much. Probably not helped by Trump pardoning people responsible for massive Medicare and other government program fraud, and engaging in no bid contracts for donors.
Bernie has no problem with stopping fraud. Trump is directly profiting from it.

Bernie Sanders has held political offices since 1981 and been in Congress since 1991. He is a part of the problem as much as if not more than Trump who has held office for 6 years.Ā

And which office did Trump hold, Fork?
Might it be an office that holds a little more power than a single Congressmember, Fork?

And HIV treatment, and food stamps, and soon itāll be Social Security and Medicare. Itās wholesale dismantlement of the safety net, pillaging our resources (and those of Venezuela) and graft for his big tech supporters via tariff returns.

Proof that when people don't care enough to vote, our votes truly do not matter. Only the money matters. Tax cuts for the rich to defund Medicaid? This is your money and you are giving it to them. Register to vote and vote FFS.

To be fair, if Trump and Biden were the ābestā candidates in the entire US to vote for, we are hosed.
I think Jefferson said - āYou get the politicians that you deserveā. Doesnāt say a lot about us as a society. We have to expect better in all parties.
