The Democratic Party is no longer a political party, it's just a cult that hates Trump.
3 ups, 1mo
They are a cult. A death cult. Much like the people who worshipped Baal in the Old Testament. Those people sacrificed their kids to Baal. Leftists just sacrifice their kids for convenience. And actually if you go back in time I think you would see that Baal worshippers were also sacrificing their kids for convenience. The only difference is that they gave birth and then killed the baby, where as today they kill the baby before or while it is born. And in some cases, if the abortion didn't work they will kill the baby after it is born.

1. What is broken in this country?
2. What is the left going to do when they say "fix it"?

Because Democrats have said what they want to do in over a decade. Actually they haven't put out any significant ideas since Obama first ran.

I want to know what the Democrats plan to do FOR America. I have seen what they have done AGAINST America and how much they hate this country but I want to know what they want to do FOR America to make everyone's lives better.

I'll wait.

6 No Democrat or Republican will ever "move away from corporate lobbying". The first reason is that corporations have the same right to petition the government for a redress of grievances as you and I do. But the second reason is that regardless of party politicians love money. They will even change their vote on bills if there is enough money involved. Not all of them but a whole lot. Most Democrats but some Republicans then know how Congress will vote depending on how many congressmen have been bought. They can then use that information and make investments. Insider trading. We would go to prison but for Congress it is just another day for them. Not all of Congress does that but it is in both parties and Democrats seem the worst.

I have a solution that I haven't heard anywhere. Woodrow Wilson signed legislation that would limit the number of members of the House of Representatives to 435 members. Part of the reason is because they were running out of room in the Capitol building.

The Constitution stipulates that there be 1 representative for every 30,000 people. Let's overturn that law that limits to 435. Representatives can stay in their districts and when a bill goes to the floor it can be done electronically. Their votes can be checked by the representative who make the vote, to make sure that Democrats did not alter the vote. Those votes can be made available to everyone in the House of Representatives.

There are about 3.5 million people in America. I just asked AI what is the number of voting age Americans and that is 269,800,000. Divide that by 30,000 and you get around 8,993 members of the House of Representatives. That is going to make it much costlier for corporations to buy representatives. It is not a perfect solution and it will most likely slow it down a little or make it so only the wealthiest businesses can afford to do the graft. That would mean that the House would always tilt to the left because the CEO's of the richest businesses are all Democrats.

Honestly that would be a great idea, it would also eliminate gerrymandering as you can't really split a town of 30,000 in two without raising suspicions of your intentions. The system as it is right now is corrupt, and it needs fixing.

I would love to see districts drawn up in a square. If that was detrimental to one candidate or candidates party then it sucks the be them. I hate it when a politicians, regardless of politics, draws up boundaries that will best insure his relection.

I am also for term limits. The founding fathers envisioned moral people serving in office who would just naturally serve a term or two and then go home. They also believed the people would say, no, you've been here long enough, go home. But neither has happened. The longer a person serves the more corrupt they become.

This whole thing with the SAVE Act. 80% of all Americans are in favor of it. However, all of the Democrats and just under a majority of Republicans in the House are against it. It passed the House but the Senate is expected to reject it.

Most of the people, Republicans and Democrats, want fair and honest elections. A voter ID card is just one method to help cut out corruption. But the Republicans and Democrat congressmen and women apparently rely on cheating to win elections.

I think it is time that both parties unite in never reelecting the same person more than once. And everyone who is currently serving who voted to reject the SAVE Act should be voted it out this coming election.

Clearly the American people are NOT being represented by their Representatives

About 20 years ago (maybe less) I heard about a group that was trying to create a Constitutional Convention of States. Their goal was to pass an amendment to the Constitution that would set term limits on all congressmen and women in the Senate and House. They need signatures from all 50 governors to get this amendment passed.

This process is in the Constitution and it is legal. Congress does not have to be involved in creating an amendment to the Constitution. Congress by themselves will never ever pass anything that limits their term in office or their pay or prevent them from doing whatever they want. So it has to come from outside of Congress to get this amendment passed.

Unfortunately, there are far too many governors who have ambition to one day serve in Congress so they also are not interested in term limits for Congress.

The system is broken and all the people can do about it is unite. But the media and everyone else just keeps pushing the two parties farther and farther apart.

They play the "If you don't vote for X then you'll get stuck with Y" game. Most of the time X = Y. This time they used TDS.

7 Rather than doing that, why not do what the World Economic Forum is working to get done. They want everyone forced into what they call "smart" or "15 minute" cities. Those cities are carved up into sections where people are forced to live and work. Everything that pertains to their life is only a 15 minute drive or walk away. They have to get special permission to leave their sector and must report when they leave and come back. These cities will be equipped cameras everywhere that will monitor everyone's daily activity and make sure no one leaves their section without permission.

The Democrats and a small handful of evil Republicans are pushing us to that right now.

BTW they have already started creating the foundations for these cities all over the world and in America. And don't forget how John Kerry assured the WEF that Biden was fully committed to the WEF right after Biden was installed as president.

8 What rights do Trans and LGBTQ+ do not have? Do you want privileges for them or rights that are missing? I know of no provision in the Constitution that makes exceptions for trans and LGBT+ people. They have all of the same rights that every straight white male Christians do. So what are you asking for?

Let me explain what a right is. A right is a freedom that does not infringe on someone else's freedom. With that in mind, what rights are they missing.

9 Well then we must stop creating all lithium batteries right now. Nothing is more devastating to the planet than mines that look for lithium. It is not easy to find and the demand is through the roof. We also need to end wind and solar farms right now. They take up millions of acres of land, only for about 10% of our electrical demands.

We need to start building nuclear energy plants again. They take up much less room than a wind or solar farm. They produce very little waste and technology has vastly improved since Jane Fonda's "China Syndrome" propaganda movie.

We need to restore public lands back to the states. I live in Utah. The federal government owns more than 50% of our land. In Nevada they own 80%. Have you seen Nevada? If they strip mined the entire state it would be an improvement. Do not even think about touching Utah. We're the prettiest state in the US. Well... they can have our shale. That's not much to look at and it produces a lot of oil.

We have to produce our own oil until someone produces a realistic clean alternative. Perhaps hydrogen.

7. I understand the concern with creating those 15 minute cities with surveillance such as that, but would it seriously hurt to invest more in expanding existing rail systems and creating new ones? We have tens of thousands of miles of rail road tracks across this country and the means to create a lot more. It's so simple, a high speed rail system is right there for the taking and we as a country just refuse it. I understand that a car is assumed to be the ultimate symbol of personal freedom but with predatory loans and the all around shittyness of the car market, it might be for the best to move away from cars unless they're absolutely needed

8. They have the same rights, however those rights need to be protected. I'll use the example of the Kansas Trans Driver's License debacle from earlier this year: Overnight, every single trans person was informed that their right to drive was revoked until their license was changed to reflect their birth gender. I understand the medical applications of this being needed as the sex you are can change the care you are given by medical response teams however that seemed to be just an excuse to revoke those rights. If the state government had just started by saying that they need to know someones birth gender for medical applications, that whole thing could have been avoided.

9. Lithium is horrible, I agree with you on that. That's honestly why I don't like electric cars(Hydrogen is the way to go). I will also agree that it is a waste to cover fields with solar panels, we should cover parking lots instead(seriously this would solve so many problems). We also agree on nuclear power, it is 1000% the future of our grid and a few disasters ruined it for everyone. Once we completely figure out fusion, there is no turning back because it's basically a mini sun.

I'm glad we could have a genuinely productive debate on this site, it's rare to see one of these.

P.S Colorado and Utah are the prettiest states, when they're not covered in smoke...

7 Let the free market decide that instead of the government. I say that because the government no longer serves the people. They will start a project expecting it to go into cost overruns. They don't even care if it ever gets finished because as long as that project is going they collect money and can look good in front of a camera.

However, if people put their own money into new rail, must like Musk did with the space program, then it will cost much, much, much less, it will be better quality and get build in less time. Even if they put a toll to use that road, it will be much less than the tax increase that always comes with these projects.

Don't be fooled by the Democrats when they tell you they only want to tax the rich. I looked at Biden's Inflation Reduction Act. It had a tax increase on everyone except for people who earned between $10,000 and $20,000 per year. I first wondered why that tax bracket was exempt. Then it dawned on me. It was so they could say that they did not increase taxes on the poor. It was all about optics."

When ever the Republicans propose a tax cut the Democrats issue an automatic prewritten response that the tax cut is only for the rich. Here is how the figure that. All income taxes or capital gains taxes (which is what the rich usually pay) is based on a percentage. If I earned $10,000 per year and you earned $1,000,000 per year and the cut was 3% (it changes based on income but fir this example it still works if the cut across the board is 3%).

3% of 10,000 is $300. 3% of 1,000,000 is $30,000. Well $30,000 is much more money than $300, therefore the tax cut is only for the rich because the poor only got $300.

It only makes things worse with our progressive income tax scam. The rich who pay income tax pay a higher percentage than the poor. That would mean that a 3% across the board tax cut would make the rich pay much less than just $30,000. They would get $500,000 if they were taxed at 50% on a million dollars.

The Democrats forced the progressive taxation scam on us and they take full advantage of it. This means any tax cut, even if it was a progressive tax cut, meaning the rich got less of a tax cut than the poor, could still be spun as a tax cut for the rich.

Taxation is theft. We were not taxed on income until 1913 when Woodrow Wilson forced that on us.

This nation was not built around the idea of the government being a burden on the citizens but that changed and it is wrong.

5. Why didn't a single Democrat ever say a single word about the Epstein files while Biden was president. Biden could have done it all on his own. Well, maybe not Biden because he was senile but the people who pulled his puppet strings could have. They didn't release the files back then because it would have made Bill Clinton look bad, just like what we have released has done.

More important, they could have finally dug up all the dirt they needed to shut Trump down for good. They could have just released that much of the files but they didn't. Why? Well thousands upon thousands of pages have been released and all it did was prove that Trump had a falling out with Epstein and didn't like him. They also show that Trump and Epstein were not even all that close to begin with. Epstein got invited to a lot of Trump galas and such but that isn't a big deal because Epstein was very popular with all of the politicians and wealth businessmen. None of that means they were clients of Epstein but it doesn't rule it out either.

I have no idea why they didn't finish releasing everything they have on Epstein. Perhaps there are too many powerful people in Washington DC or in the business elites who have no problem killing to keep their names out of the public eye. The other possibility is that there is nothing else in the remaining files that says anything different than what we already have. Who knows.

But if Trump is guilty of being a client just one time then he should face prosecution and let J.D. Vance be our president. Did I shock you? You shouldn't be shocked, I am not alone. I think most conservatives would be saddened but would agree with me. The reason is because we are not leftists. Leftists will still vote for their candidates even if we found out that the candidate was a serial killer who specialized in killing children and cute little kittens and puppies. As long as the guy made them feel good and they followed orders and voted for the guy they would do it.

I agree, the democrats did a horrible job handling the files when they had the ability to release them, mostly because in order to bring down Trump, they'd have to bring down themselves. Most politicians on both sides are horrible people, they take bribes, they rape children and they are all around corrupt. And we let them run our country.

If it's truly that the unreleased files are just repeating information we already know, then why don't they release them? It wouldn't cause any more harm than good. And if the files have the capability to bring down half of Washington then release them anyways. Every single client should be dragged into the streets and hung Mussolini style

They could have just release whatever they found on Trump and claimed they release all of the Epstein files.

They tried impeaching Trump twice on false pretenses. The last impeachment was based on Pelosi orchestrating a riot and calling it an insurrection in an attempt to use the 14th Amendment against Trump. That amendment punished the South from having any kind of representation in the government after the Civil War. It said that anyone who held office and supported the insurrection (which meant the fought for the Confederacy) was permanently barred from holding any public office. The Southern states had to wait a generation before they could elect a Southerner to hold office.

Pelosi wanted an insurrection but knew she would not get anything she could call an insurrection unless she got the Capitol Police to open fire with flash grenades and rubber bullets on a crowd of peaceful protestors. FBI agents were in the crowd to direct the panicking people into the Capitol Building. And that was all Pelosi needed to call it an insurrection. It would have been the first insurrection where the participants had no type of weaponry at all. Not a single person was charged with illegal possession of a firearm. BTW this is not a conspiracy theory. I have watched the Capitol Building security cameras and footage taken from the Capitol Police body cameras plus there were thousands of people with their cellphones recording everything. I saw the image of a guy whose bloody cheek had a hole in it where a rubber bullet had pierced it.

They tried throwing every allegation they could think of and nothing stuck because he wasn't guilty of any of them. One judge changed a misdemeanor charge to a felony claiming extenuating circumstances which he never explained. And this was on a charge that had past its statute of limitations. He was convicted of that felony but the district court overturned that conviction and reprimanded the judge that convicted him.

Then they tried taking Trump's name off of the ballot in a few states. Then they tried assassinating Trump twice. Now the left has invented a wild conspiracy theory that exonerates the shooters, who were Democrats, of being Democrats.

Since he has been elected there was an other attempt that got shutdown before Trump was ever in danger.

If the left was going to go through all of that to stop Trump, they very easily could have just released anything they could find on Trump in the Epstein files.

4. So first you need to make sense. You say we are giving money to Israel and then you said they have bought us. Is there some sort of money loop for which we somehow are not owned by Israel?

Stop listening to the antiemetics and do your own research. They're getting you to believe contradictory things.

Israel is very self sufficient. The only area where they could use our money is militarily and as far as I know they have refused help militarily. Israel does not want to be beholden to the US. They'll be our allies and help us, especially when it benefits them.

Iran, in case you did not know, which is probably the case, was stockpiling enriched uranium. We took their stockpile away but somehow they got more. They have (or now had) enough uranium to destroy the planet. Here's the thing and this has absolutely nothing to do with Trump. Nothing. A sect within Shia Islam had taken over Iran. They are the IRGC. All Shia Muslims look forward to the return of the 12th Imam. He will bring the end times and with it (after killing all of the unbelievers, starting with the Jews) the world will have peace. The IRGC sect believes that all of the killing has to happen before the 12th Imam returns. In fact that is the only way they can get the 12th Imam to return. So they were stockpiling enriched uranium for what? Take a guess. The only thing they hadn't quite figured out is long range missiles and long range guidance technology but they were working on it. They had already figure out a way to get through Israel's Iron Dome technology.

The two goals of every Muslim on the planet is "death to America" first and "death to Israel" second. All you need to do is listen to them. They say it all of the time. When John Kerry went to Iran to sign Obama's deal to give them everything they needed to accomplish their goals....oops I mean to give them nuclear technology to produce clean energy (for absolutely no reason at all), Kerry was there on "Death to America Day". The people were chanting in the streets as Kerry drove up to sign that deal, "Death to America". Of course Kerry fully agreed with them so he wasn't too worried.

Obama never explained why when we haven't built a nuclear energy plant in America since the 70's why it was so important to help Iran build nuclear power plants over there? Was it so that Iranian scientists could learn more about nuclear radiation so they could build nuclear bombs? I think so!

What I'm saying is politicians have been bought out by the Israeli government. They're paid to go in congress and send weapons and money to Israel. Israel is quite literally committing genocide in Gaza. If Hamas is hiding underground, why bomb the building above ground? Why bomb hospitals and schools?

I will admit that Iran having nuclear capabilities is concerning, but all we've done by bombing them, especially non military targets is make them hate us even more. Now most the world thinks the U.S are war criminals. The timing of the start of the war is even more concerning because it feels like it was only started to make people forget about the Epstein files, like it's all smoke and mirrors. These factors are why I don't trust our current government in its operations in the middle east, let alone trust Israel

What everyone needs to realize about Israel is that Muslims since day 1 have wanted their complete extermination. It is in the Quran. What is also in the Quran is permission for Muslims to lie when promoting Islam. This is their holy book. This is the book that they will defend with their lives. And don't even get into trying to compare it to the Bible. You'll spawn another round of huge replies from me on how absolute wrong that comparison is. I've read the Bible from cover to cover. I know what the Bible says. I have not read the Quran but I have read several passages from it, mainly the ones that leftists tend to ignore and pretend they don't exist.

With that said, ever since the UN created the state of Israel, Muslims who live on all sides if Israel have been trying to kill them. Israel has bent over backwards time and time again but the Muslims will not accept their conditions. Not once. All Muslims want is the extermination of ever Jew on the planet. And after that they want the same for the Christians.

So whatever you hear in the news about politics or Israel disregard. No, I am not telling you to watch Fox News. I am asking you to look at what is happening in Israel knowing that all Muslims want is the death of every Jew and they will lie through their teeth to make that happen.

I am not saying that all Muslims are bad people. There are many who only want to practice the peaceful parts of the Quran and those parts are in some ways similar to the Bible. But when Mohammad kept getting rejected by the pagans in Mecca and Medina he got angry and just out of coincidence so did Allah. That is when "Allah" told Mohammad to start killing and don't let up until everyone is either Muslim or dead. But with the "people of the book" (Jews and Christians) you can either tax them or kill them. Then later Allah changed his mind and said just kill the Jews. All sects of Islam are at war with the world and have been ever since Mohammad was alive (he died in 632 AD).

I haven't forgot about the Epstein files. Timing happened because Iran found a way to break through the Iron Dome that Israel had created. And they had launched one missile that hit farther away than any of their previous missiles. We really could not have waited much longer because once they got long range capability then they would have started firing on us, Israel and the rest of the world. Trump literally saved the world from at least having several millions of deaths.

Wait no longer. Your full reply is here. And, really, you shouldn't have done that because I love explaining things to the mal-educated.

1. Forever wars are the specially of the Democrat party. They love them. With the exception of George W Bush and Trump every other war we have ever gotten into has been started by a Democrat. Biden was dumping tens of billions in Ukraine and nothing looked like it was ever going to end.

Trump does not want a forever war with Iran. My guess is that the Iran war will be over before the end of Trump's term AND it won't be like Democrats where they drop everything and run, like how Biden got us out of Afghanistan. Trump wants Iran to fully capitulate to his demands and because they are Muslims that just won't happen. I think he is giving them more chances than just about any one else before he just obliterates the IRGC.

2. Why on earth would you ever increase taxes on billionaires? What is your goal? Do you seriously think the government is a charity? That's a joke. Did you know that if you were to tax all of the rich people (millionaires up to Elon Musk) 100% you would have enough money to run the government for about 6 or 7 months. Then who are you going to tax? The rich (100 thousandaires up to Elon Musk) pay 55% of all revenues collected by the IRS. This is according to IRS data.

Oh and by the way, how many jobs are offered by poor or middle class people? Poor, none. Middle class, maybe a few very small businesses. It is the rich who employ most of America. Take their money away and what happens to the jobs? Poof! they're gone.

3. Isn't that what Obama told he was giving us. It made my health insurance go up by $400/mo. But on here we agree. Neither Trump or congress have done a single thing about getting the government completely and entirely out of the healthcare industry. If they did then insurance costs would drop. Private clinics could offer subscriptions like they tried before the big insurance companies sued them and the government backed up the big insurance companies. The free market is the ONLY way to cut costs. Everything the government touches AT A MINIMUM means that government employees need to be paid. That increases the overhead cost. But governments always take much more than just the payroll of the government employees and guess who pays that. You either pay it up front in the premiums OR you pay it in higher taxes OR both and most of the time it is both.

1. Just because democrats have engaged in forever wars doesn't make them okay for Republicans to engage in them. This is a common argument whenever the current administration does something wrong. Yes Obama bombed civilians, but that doesn't make it okay for Trump to do it.

2. I believe that lager taxes on billionaires(basically undoing Reaganomics) would sustain the growth and development of civil services and infrastructure. Would you rather Musk or Bezos buy another mansion or yacht or would you rather have better roads and public services?

3. You make a great point with the idea of removing the middleman in the insurance market. I would cut costs. However moving in the complete opposite way where there is zero privatized healthcare would also be greatly beneficial. I understand the concerns about the government controlling healthcare but companies controlling it with the sake of profit in mind is worse as of right now.

1. But with the exception of George W Bush no Republican has ever gotten us into a forever war. And Bush's war is over and has been for several years. You are right though. Forever wars are evil. All war is evil. We should ONLY fight a war if the threat to the lives and/or freedom of every American citizens is at stake. We should NEVER get into a war for any other reason.

The Keynesian economists believe that war is good for the economy but they are wrong. Just because there was a brief surge in the economy when the US began production of war equipment just prior and during WWII means nothing. The fact that that blip in the Great Depression was caused by an artificial influx of cash from the government to private businesses combined with the fact that a lot of the unemployed in America were killed in Europe and the South Pacific by the war does not mean that war is good for the economy. WWII did not end the Great Depression. It just softened it a little and only temporary.

2 Yes, I would rather Musk and Bezos buy another mansion and a yacht and I hope that they do. Musk and Bezos are providing more productive jobs than any government works project to build the infrastructure. Infrastructure is just a cover for yet another pointless spending project that has nothing to do with building our infrastructure.

Here is the problem with the left. They have been lied to about wealth. First off wealth is not money. Money can be a representation of wealth but so is a hammer, so is a screw driver, so is a car. Wealth is a concept. It is the intrinsic or utilitarian value of an item. Gold has intrinsic wealth because it can be turned into shiny jewelry and it is a rare metal. Gold also has utilitarian value because it can be used to produce more wealth or value. Gold is an excellent conductor of electricity.

Diamonds also have intrinsic and utilitarian wealth. Diamonds can be made into shiny pretty jewelry but it is also used to cut through objects that most other cutting devices can make a scratch on.

Wealth is a value of an item. An apple has wealth to a hungry man but no value to a man who has already eaten.

Wealth can be created and it is done in the free exchange of goods and/or services. If you make widgets and I don't have any widgets but I want one then your widget has intrinsic value to me because I want it. If I need your widget so that I can complete a task or series of task then your widget has utilitarian value.

If I need or want your widget then I can either steal it or trade for it. If I choose the moral route then I trade for it. Let's say that you really need to build a time machine out of your Delorean and you will never reach 88 mph unless you have my flux capacitor. So you trade your widget for my flux capacitor. We have both engaged in capitalism or free market economics. Ya know. The think that every socialists declares as the most evil thing on the planet and it must be destroyed at all costs. That is the capitalism they hate. Other than a bunch of lies created by Marx I have no clue why a free exchange of value for value is evil.

What is evil is when a third party forces itself into that transaction and that would be the government. Because that is how wealth is destroyed.

We are both more wealthy than before. I now have a widget that I need to finish my warp drive engine to go trekking through the stars. You are wealthier because now you can go back to the future.
2 ups, 1mo
2a So what that was all about was a lesson in what free market economics is.

The lie is that wealth is finite. The Marxists would have you believe that all of the rich people in the world got that way because they stole and are now hoarding all of the worlds wealth.

That is why you must bring down the rich so that the wealth can be redistributed equally.

That is a lie. Wealth is infinite and can be created very simply but the tool to create it is what Marxists despise the most.

The other lie is not knowing that free market economics can only work unless the individual has all political power and is free to act in their own best interest.

The left demands that the government regulate every aspect of that freedom until it has been destroyed and taking freedom with that destruction.

THAT is why I could not care less what Elon Musk buys or how much money he has. It is his and he earned every penny of it.

AND if you want to be as rich or richer than Elon Musk then there is absolutely nothing stopping you but yourself. I know that is exactly why I am not rich and I am okay with it because all income levels are needed to perform tasks that have the value of that income level they are most happy or comfortable with.

A poor person working at McDonalds might want to be rich but they are comfortable not learning the skills and taking the risks that Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos did. They may complain how they are worth more than the salary they earn and that is true. But the labor they are performing is not. If they want a higher salary then they need to perform the type of labor that pays that kind of salary. And to perform that kind of labor they have to learn the skills and take the risks.

Now were is what absolutely destroys wealth every time. Governments. The more authoritarian the more wealth it destroys. Socialism and all of its variations (ie. nazism, communism and fascism) are all wealth destroyers. Even for the ruling elite who pushed socialism on the people. Eventually there is no wealth being created and the ruling elite's lives begin to suffer. Typically they are executed or have to escape the country before they run out of money.

I am telling you this because this all ties into your number 2 about billionaires not being taxed enough.

Stop trying to steal other people's money. Earn your own. Yes, it is much harder and you may never earn as much as Musk or Bezos or you could earn more.

3 Just pay attention to the rest of the world who has gone to government run healthcare.

For example. Several years ago I had a friend who had immigrated to America from England. He was a little older than me but he and his wife became good friends with me an my wife.

One day he went to his doctor for a regular check up. His doctor recognized a heart problem that if not taken care of immediately he would have died. The check up was on a Friday and Monday he was in the hospital having open heart surgery. He survived and lived several years longer. He has since passed away. But he called his sister who is still living in England and told her what happened. Her jaw hit the floor how soon the doctors were able to treat him. If this had happened in England he would have been put on a waiting list for about a year and the only doctors capable of performing this kind of surgery were in London. He was from northern England near the Scottish border.

The other example is in the country to our north. Their government run healthcare system is so over taxed that, like England, you have to wait a year or more for treatment. Canada, first came up with the idea that if your illness was terminal than you could either wait or they would help you kill yourself. That took some of the stress off of their healthcare for a while. More recently they are offering suicide as an option to patients with non-life threatening illnesses.

Remember when the right said that Obamacare would have death panels? Canada does and it is not just for terminal patients, it is pretty much for everyone. BTW Obama's death panels were passed in another bill so he could say that the Affordable Healthcare Act does not contain death panels.

If you want the best healthcare and the lowest cost then the government needs to release it's grip on the healthcare industry completely. However, if you want the worst healthcare at the most expensive cost then let the government run it completely.

Obamacare was just a teaser. The (non)Affordable Healthcare Act increased costs to the individual and cut coverage. A lot of people lost their doctors. I was lucky that I didn't lose my doctor but a lot of other people did. I have a friend who is diabetic. My wife is also diabetic so I am not sure about my friend other than she lives in another state. But her insulin costs went up to $1,000 per month under Obamacare. It went up for my wife but not insanely like my friend.

There is nothing in this country that is better than the current presidency because the current administration is ACTIVELY FIXING IT. Finding fraud, exposing criminals, deporting illegals, you NAME IT. This adminstration is the total package

I'm probably on the same page with the Epstein Files. I argue that they would've been released under the Biden Administration if they would've hurt Trump. But I'm kind of over it and just want them to be released. IDC who is in them anymore. I know Hawking is

    Democrat National Committee. We need to start planning for the 2028 presidential election. What should our platform be? Elect DSA candidates and hate Trump. Hate Trump. Trump won't be president anymore. Hating Trump is all we have. Americans don't want what we want. NO! Why not give the people what they want?
