Squabbling while the world burns
Do not call our two party system a democracy. Hooray!!! We got the Senate!!! Oh shoot, the house went GOP. I have had it with this sick game. Our government is now beyond saving. We have two parties that refuse to cooperate in any way so that if we are split (and even when we’re not) the infighting stops us cold. We are now faced with a house that is planning to go against every single thing Biden is attempting to do. Instead of working together to help the people who live here, the GOP plans to investigate Biden and his son and any other thing they can think of, including the January 6th committee. They will put a bill forth to stop all abortion access countrywide, they will try and defund Planned Parenthood which is poor women’s only access to healthcare. They KNOW it will not get through the senate. But so what? Let’s waste time and money to make a stand for our policies like no gun control, hands on women’s bodies, no dept. of education, less tax on the extremely wealthy, whittling away at ‘entitlement’ programs that people have PAID into their entire lives. Medicare, Medicaid are on their radar as well as Social Security. Please please do not negotiate for lower drug costs or deal with our failing health care system — that’s socialism, don’t you know? Lift yourself up by your bootstraps and get a grip, people.
