The democratic and republican parties working together to make sure Americans dont get good things. Its hilarious that morons think the Dems are the good guys, and that if only it wasnt for all those damn repukes, they could have free healthcare. Meanwhile, the dems have been working hard to make sure that Bernie didnt win the nom in 2016, thus making sure that Americans didnt get free healthcare. Then again in 2020, when all the people up for the nom(all of which had a free healthcare plan) were told to do one, because Biden was the only one who could beat Trump. The fact he was also the only one up for the nom that didnt have a free healthcare plan is just a coincidence... And then again, in 2024, they gave Harris the nod after she dropped her free healthcare plan that she had back in 2020. But she was talking about... thats right, cheaper insulin... Funny that, huh?

When you take away all the trans stuff and the immigration stuff and the gun stuff, you are left with two right wing parties that agree more than they disagree, and both are run by corrupt public officials in their 80s and backed by self interested donors.

I have no idea what the solution is, but it sure as fuck aint the dems anymore than it is the repukes.
