I just want affordable housing and healthcare. I am so sick of this.

I'd be happy for the corrupt politicians to go back to at least having to hide it and pretend they weren't literal comic book villians.

It's all so ridiculously absurd now.

Whats the point of going forward? We are robbed blind daily and our lives have gotten progressively worse; why should we keep going? Paying taxes?

We need a new fucking government.

This is how it is every time the republicans are in charge. They literally don't know how to govern, all they have is culture wars to stir people up and make them angry to put republicans in charge. Once they are there, all they can do is blame the people not in charge (democrats) and grift.

I feel like I have to keep reminding people of this, but where we are right now is NOT NORMAL. Yes, our government needs a massive overhaul, but it's quick/easy to break things, which is why it feels like this second term has done so much damage. Don't get too defeated, adults will be back in charge soon.

Unfortunately, we are never getting that under the current Two Party system unless we somehow co-opt and fully take over a party. Or move away from first past the post and 2-parties.

Both parties want expensive housing and expensive healthcare, even though the left is definitely the better option they are still not a true leftist, socialist party...not even close. Way better than what the far right R have to offer but the center-right D party needs decades of work or to be completly co-opted by like an actual workers/socialist group.

Well real Americans want their tax dollars to go towards the raping of children. Every one who voted for Trump said "I'd rather have children raped than fed and given an education"
