MODERATORS
the truth is, biden and his peers are conservatives who do not believe that healthcare is a right. its only for those that can afford it. They attempt to appease the masses with these generous rebates on life saving drugs.
if the powers that be really cared about humans they would be pushing mass changes to the entire system, not placating businesses by keeping prices high while also pretending to negotiate for the unwashed.
follow the money, and all the money says "we dont care about healthcare or human beings"
that whole line about "but we cant affect change overnight. those crazy progressives!". motherfucker, ive been waiting 40+ years for them to do fucking anything that didnt line some providers pockets.
current democrats are fucking useless.
I have no idea why you got downvoted on this comment. With the exception of the Democratic Socialist subset, most Democrats are pretty conservative. Remove the white Christian bigotry and they're pretty similar Regan era Republicans.
Obama himself is quoted as saying that some of his own policies would make him a "moderate conservative" by 1980's standards. Then consider that Biden was picked as his running mate to appeal to the wing of the party that was more conservative than him.
Troglodytes that pretend they are above the team-sport aspect of politics fucking HATE when you point out what a limp dick milquetoast piece of shit Biden is and how his administration loves to shout about putting band-aids on bullet wounds, and the fucking neoliberals eat that shit up like candy.
PS:
fuck capitalism.
"I have no idea why you got downvoted on this comment."
Literally no downvotes on the comment you're responding to. Until me, of course. You can have one too.
I have an honest question. In the current political climate, how would Democrats go about changing everything?
