The Republicans know Donald Trump ass ain’t shit and I’m pretty sure a lot of them figured out by now that he will drag them to hell even when he’s long and gone, but you know what they’re gonna ride that horse into the fucking wheels fall off Democrats every time, we don’t get our way or we don’t get who we want we pout and give Republicans free fucking advertisement which makes our message inconsistent therefore no matter who is at the top.

I can attest that most adults age 50 and below hate insurance companies and are realizing that paying slightly more in taxes for universal Healthcare would be WAY cheaper than the insurance premiums and copays we are paying. It took forever, but people are finally ready for Universal Healthcare.

[@michaelthelen4750]

The federal government is $37 trillion in debt, and growing each year. This year, the debt will grow roughly $2 trillion. In that environment, it is a fantasy to believe that anything like universal healthcare is going to happen. It is more important to worry about Social Security, which is so underfunded that benefit cuts are slated to begin in the early 2030s. We already have more government than we can afford.

[@frostfree7]

@@michaelthelen4750 Universal healthcare saves money. It's far less expensive to prevent an illness or treat it early than to wait. A healthier population is also more productive and reproductive. So many benefits to society such as not having people living in your driveway because you deprived them of the dignity of healthcare.

[@scoreyj13]

@@michaelthelen4750 What part of a tax to pay for universal healthcare do you not understand? The fact is it would save the American taxpayer about two hundred billion a year (this is the most conservative estimate btw) a year by going to universal. The majority of people would save money. The money for healthcare is already being spent but right now a lot of it is just going to corporate profits. Both can be done at the same time if done correctly.

[@michaelthelen4750]

@@scoreyj13 There is no credible estimate that universal healthcare would save two hundred billion a year, although you could probably find an ideologically driven one. I for one am not interested in paying even more taxes to fund your healthcare. A responsible behavior would be for you to fund your own healthcare. One of the reasons this country suffers from enormous budget deficits is the entitlement of people like you who want to offload your personal responsibilities to society as a whole. Universal healthcare is widely noted for long delays in getting needed care. The National Health Service in the UK is a notable example. That is why there is still a private health insurance market in the UK. If you really want universal health care, you should probably just move to a country which has it. As noted, this country has enough budgetary problems that it isn't coming here for a long time, if ever.

We should adopt Australia's policies for campaigns. They are limited on how much money(everyone is allowed the same amt), time limit for campaigning & have to itemize where they spent the money.

[@traceywilkes7870]

Right On!!! I have said all of this!!!!

[@jamesjones4309]

Facts. We are not being led by people not reading the room.

[@alexistalks1079]

I really like you ladies. I totally agree with everything you said.

[@Mythicdruidess62]

I have chosen to be an independent voter. An independent voter, often also called an unaffiliated voter or non-affiliated voter in the United States, is a voter who does not align themselves with a political party.

[@GoddessDanai]

Thank you! As a black woman, I am shocked at the messaging… shocked at Biden running when I heard the mumbling speeches… shocked at not handing over the leadership… Hakeem Jefferies is terrible…. I’m just tired of them

[@kevinwilliams563]

I was watching a news spot last night about the Senate taking up the funding bill. The Democrat speaking about it forgot his lines and actually turned to the other old men to remind him. This shit has to stop. We need young leaders to take this country forward. It distresses me to see that integrity no longer means shit in this country but here we are. I am a lifelong Democrat, 68 years old, and find myself embarrassed by the party.

[@GnomeHome]

The established Dems do not want to let go. That’s what’s also getting in the way..not sure why they refuse to hand reigns over

[@AZbluedot196]

I have been a registered democrat since 1988, and I would change to independent, but our primaries are closed in AZ. But I am PISSED OFF at democratic leadership.

[@LindaC-ze5ob]

There should be old age limits, in Congress. 🤦🤦🤦😡 No more 75-80+ year old politicians in Congress.

[@judyhamilton8363]

I’m 82. AOC was the correct pick. I’m all for young progressives to take over.

[@DaveyRandel]

I'm 75 and I wish we had younger leadership. It's like war, who do we want to lead the resistance? Old fools like me or young and brave people not afraid to step into it, and survive and do it again and again!!! You two are spot on....

[@LambertBrady]

Please scream at Pelosi to retire.

[@msvulcanspock]

I am organsing a postcard campaign getting folks to write to Pelosi each week asking for her to retire so the new generation can take over. We need AOC! You can take action! Send Rep. Gerry Connolly of Virginia a postcard every week that he needs to resign because you will stay resigned from being a Democrat until he leaves. You won't get off the couch until he hands it over to the next generation. That AOC is a much better communicator than him. (If you have time, ring each week!) We need Jasmine Crockett! You can take action! Send Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-Mich.) a postcard every week that she needs to resign because you will stay resigned from being a Democrat until she leaves. That you will stay on the couch until she hands over to the next generation, until Jasmine Crockett has her position. (If you have time, ring each week!) Send Nancy Pelosi a postcard every week that she needs to resign because you will stay resigned from being a Democrat until she leaves. It's time for AOC and Jasmine Crockett. Tell Pelosi that she is too out of touch. (If you have time, ring each week!)

[@debraharper4969]

The problem with registering as an Independent in Oklahoma is these closed primaries. There's a movement afoot to open them, but they've tied it to ranked-choice voting, which isn't as popular and may well tank the effort.

[@lisacarter-walker3985]

Corporate democrats did not learn anything, so sad!

I couldn’t agree with you more. It’s so frustrating. They never ever learn.!

When you started listing off their ages I realized why nothing is ever happening and no one is being held accountable. It's deliberate.

[@gettotherootofitwithme]

I’m so pissed Nancy Pelosi needs to take her own damn advice and step aside like she told Joe Biden she needs to get out of Congress go relax and stay out of the young ones way that’s what America wants. Clearly they voted for her and Trump in New York.

[@skywriting33]

People in positions of power who will not have to live through the consequences of their decision making is an insult to all of us that will live through this!

I 100% agree with you. It’s time for change. If we keep on the exact same path we will never win again.

I hear you. But Cheney was one of the few that went out of her way to say no to trump, when 99% of other republicans caved in. But yes we need younger leadership.

[@corbinh2037]

I agree about Maxine Waters, she needed to leave aftrr the housing crisis. Back in 2006 she hired me to decorate a hall space for a function she held to promote homeownership in Los Angeles sponsored by sub-prime lenders which turned out to be disastrous as we all know. Btw, the budget allowed for materials... $300.00!
