joedertrek1 Hahaha, tell that to republicans. They lock up children from crimes their parents committed, and gave the biggest tax break in US history to corporations. They decided to build a wall even though it’s useless and more than half the country doesn’t want it. Democrats are coming for Trump’s tax returns. He’s shaking in his child sized boots right now.

The point is that they bring the issues of their people to the light, whereas others with all similar backgrounds either don't care, or don't see it as a priority. Aside from that, it also comes with perspective. For the most part, who you are doesn't matter when it comes to why you should be elected, but the motives of those who were voted is different.

[@MrCTruck]

People seem to think that having some shred of credibility in anyway will help them do the bidding of the future. “I’m good for this country’s future because of my Native American female past.” That’s the thing they sell and if you throw logic and critical reasoning out the window, it’s perfectly reasonable because people are naively optimistic.

Per pill not per per bottle I would make it if I was in power to make it that they have to charge per bottle and a maximum that they would be allowed to charge will be 50 bucks a bottle no matter what type of medication that is whether it's a cancer drug or a heart condition drug or whatever it is that's the way I would do it whatever type of legal medication there is out there whether it's antibiotic or whatever it is 50 bucks per bottle if if the Pharmaceuticals charge anymore penalty of three and a half thousand $559 plus I would make a penalty on the pharmaceutical companies 350559 hundred million dollars per bottle that they charge per pill plus the next time it's double that and a next time it's jail time plus the double fee for pharmaceutical company that charges that per pill price from here on it it should be per bottle and a maximum you should be allowed to charge is 50 bucks $5 charge anything more than that and you're asking for penalties and jail time that's the type of law I would pass if I was in power
