I’ll take harsh reality over a comfortable lie

Other than making it illegal to not have health insurance, and offering discounted insurance to some people based on their state, what do you think it did?

Obama did exactly what he was supposed to. Capture a popular social movement and prevent it from actually accomplishing anything.

Its why Democrats exist.

So you’re doing exactly the same thing that people who blindly support Republicans are doing?

You vote for a corporate sponsored party without so much as considering the positions of the people you’re voting for? Yikes.

Will it?

I’m not saying don’t vote, everyone should vote, but do you actually think it will change anything?

Wild, maybe they should ban all those “rogue” AI bots we keep hearing about too

The history of the US that has included third parties?

Yeah, I’m going to go ahead and not believe your claims. You seem totally unable to defend them.

At any rate I’m glad we’re both voting. It’s the bare minimum we need to do.

Yes I can also see the effects of capitalism on our lives. My question is about Trump (Who isn’t even eligible for reelection btw)
