Let me clarify further, an "Old School Democrat" is an FDR Democrat that stands up for the working class.

I've been living in western Wisconsin for a few years now, and I am SUPER proud to have the opportunity to vote for Rebecca Cooke. She is absolutely the sort of person we need in Washington to actually represent us rather than rule us. We need more waitresses, farmers, real working class people sitting at those tables where decisions about OUR lives are made.

If the government NOT involved in healthcare in the U.S., the high costs wouldn’t exist.

[@nadie8093]

​@@alericjohansen6775 Mexico's state healthcare isnt a good model though. Terrible to null coverage on the countryside and overcrowded hospitals in the cities. Everyone but the most desperate pays private hospitals.

[@alericjohansen6775]

@@nadie8093 Mexico definitely has it's problems, but so does every country. Healthcare is hard to get right with so many people voting against socialized healthcare.

I grew up on a beef farm in eastern West Virginia. It's not profitable - the only way my family can still farm it is that my mom is a doctor. I got an engineering degree and had to leave the state because no in-state companies offered me a job.

[@missshroom5512]

It hard to believe in 2024 we do not get our old folks dentures so they can eat, talk and feel confident. Or we don’t get them eyewear so they can read, travel ect.. It is a disgrace on our communities. Glad to see we all want to change this

[@DivergentDroid]

I'm not old just had health problems. Medicaid does pay for eye glasses and dentures. I'm 56 and just got new glasses. I don't want dentures ( I know too many people with trouble) and they wont pay for implants. Problem is they only give you one pair a year. I need Both, glasses for long distance for driving and glasses for close up computer work. They will only pay for one so I choose computer work as I'm in front of the PC more than driving but that does mean.. yep.. I have to drive with not 100% accurate vision. By the time a year is up, my eyes will be worse and I'll have to make that choice again.

[@SmallSpoonBrigade]

Why should we do that for the elderly when the elderly haven't ensured that the young et our medical treatment? It should be about getting everybody the treatment they need, not just the old because of things they vaguely may have done in the past.

[@afterhourscinema782]

@@agoniaXdunya To answer your question, Senators Fetterman and Sinema both ran a progressive campaign. But once they got to D.C, they immediately betrayed their progressive ideals and went on to be pro-war, pro-establishment, and started taking money from super PACs. Here in AZ, Sinema became so unpopular for voting against raising the minimum wage, that the AZ Democratic party replaced her with a new nominee for this year's senate election.

Fantastic video🔥🔥! I have incurred so much losses trading on my own....I trade well on demo but I think the real market is manipulated.... Can anyone help me out or at least tell me what I'm doing wrong??

[@EricAdam-no5we]

Trading on a demo account can definitely feel similar to the real market, but there are some differences. It's important to remember that trading involves risks and it's normal to face looses sometimes. One piece of advice is to start small and gradually increase your investments as you gain more experience and confidence. It might also be helpful to seek guidance from experienced traders or do some research on different trading strategies.

[@GreysonSutton]

​If you are trading without a professional guide... Ah, I laugh, because you will stay where you are or even suffer huge losses that will prevent you from trading, this has been one of the biggest problems for new traders.

[@OwenAustin-nb6jn]
