Are nepotism and hypocrisy a thing again now? I thought we were over that being a big deal because, ya know, it's fucking rampant in politics.

Do we need a reminder that Trump was a Democrat extremely recently and when he became president gave his children positions and let his daughter's dumbass husband run our pandemic response team? Or how he said he would save Social Security but now is trying to remove the thing that funds it? Or when he took shots at Obama for playing golf but has played more golf than any president in history? Or when he started spreading rumors about mail-in-voting being bad even though he's done it constantly? Or when he said he'd have Mexico pay for the wall and then he didn't? Or when he said he'd "drain the swamp" of corruption in politics and then filled every possible position with hella corrupt people? Or when he adamantly and emphatically stated he was pro-choice and then randomly decided to be anti-abortion? Or when he went to a bunch of parties with Epstein and took a bunch of pictures with him and then said he didn't know him?

And if we want to talk about Joe Biden being creepy we need equally address Trump badly wanting to fuck his own daughter, right?

Like I'm not discrediting your points here but, c'mon, pick your battles and at least try to have vaguely consistently applied morals. People sucking dick to the top in politics should be neither surprising or noteworthy at this point, think we can be collectively jaded enough about our political system to expect significantly worse out of them.

You can have universal healthcare if you want it to be generally shitty, you can have privatized healthcare if you want to cure cancer and shit. Nobody is 100% happy with the available systems. If you have a coherent utopian solution that incentivizes doing the insanely demanding multi-decade work and possessing the unfathomable personal discipline and sacrifice that goes into becoming a good doctor, while that labor is also freely available to every citizen, please tell me what that looks like.

Medicare for those who don't pay for it. Those of us with jobs will foot the bill for those freeloaders.

Can there be justice without law enforcement... or is street justice the way it's supposed to go? Asking for a friend.

Medicare for all is fine, as long as it’s stipulated that obesity is henceforth illegal

Harris discussed the allegations against Biden, declaring of the accusers: “I believe them, and I respect them being able to tell their story and having the courage to do it.”

https://nypost.com/2020/08/12/kamala...til-she-didnt/

It seems that "Heels Up" Harris only believes sexual abuse claims when it suits her political aspirations ie the primaries. Now that she's the VP pick, "fuck all those liars!"
