Welp, the midterms are finally going to be all about universal healthcare.

With ultimately no delivery on any of the promises made.

Gotta separate corporate democrats from the money.

We need to just make the richest person in the country financially responsible for all healthcare.

When Musk falls to #2, he can share the load with Bezos. When Bezos and Musk tie him for third, Zuck gets to join the party. Nobody gets to be the richest American. At that point, they get to brag about how many lives they are responsible for saving instead of how much damage they've done to the rest of us.

the DNc IS HOPING the recent dem wins in elections, and the hate for trump will negate thier rollover to have the shutdown ended in the midterms. they are in a world of hurt if Rs remain in power. plus Rs made sure that the Dems will recieve the blame anyways in the next election for all that happened this year.

And yet the house just passed a $900B military budget. Think of how many lives that could save if it were allocated to healthcare. But why save lives at home when we could end them abroad? Military contractors need to eat too. Think of the shareholders.
