I declined to vote Democrat for almost the entire Clinton/Obama era instead opting for 3rd party candidates. Trump was too repugnant to not vote against. I begrudgingly voted Dem, however, I have been okay with Biden overall. The Democrats have stopped ignoring blue collar folks (though not always) after being taken for granted by the Clinton/Obama wing. Maybe I am moderating in old age, and I am surprised by this, but Biden has not been a bad president.
I had no issue with clinton and obama. I still consider obama to be the best president of my lifetime. All the same he should really be the low bar for president. I often wish we had more of a parlimentary system. I think if we had the examples of today the founding fathers would have based congress more on modern parliments.
I will never label “best President of my lifetime” the guy who let war criminals walk and then legalized and codified some of the worst aspects of the War on Terror.
Why is Donald Trump walking free? Because we couldn’t/wouldn’t even begin to prosecute war criminals.
Milquetoast Obama letting war criminals walk literally set the stage for this. You don’t get to be shocked about the kid-gloves treatment for Trump after knowing “the best President of your lifetime” chose to not prosecute war criminals because it “might appear partisan” or some dumb shit. It’s literally the same dumb hand-wringing we get with Trump today. We are stuck with Trump because Obama didn’t have the fucking balls to prosecute war criminals.
Why are they scared to prosecute a former President? Because we have refused to do it again and again when it matters.
Your are not taking into account who is competing against. Name a better president and be ready to list all their ills. Honestly the thing that is highest on my obama issues is the opposite of what you list which is his treatment of snowden.
Not for cancer but have had to work with a few denials with my wife. Whats really scary is both the provider and the insurance company were no help. Once sorted I found the provider got a about a tenth of what was billed and so I think often times they can get more by pushing the patient. If they can get the patient to pay 20% or more half the time or more they come out ahead. Nobody has motivation to clear up the issue. As tokenboomer said. Nationalize it now!
Insurance isn’t in the business of paying…they collect, have broken websites and claim forms that I swear have a hard cap of like 5 submissions a day, infinite holds for repeat callers and customer service who’s job is to deny and annoy you to the point of just not bothering.
I would be absolutely shocked if only 127,000 New Yorkers were the victims of wage theft. It’s not only drastically underreported, but a lot of people seem to take pride in giving their employers free labor.
Couldn’t they just make it easier to become a documented immigrant instead of debating whether they should get driver licenses? I mean it’s probably a little bit harder to do but come on
Letting illegal immigrants become legal immigrants would force companies to pay them more and respect their rights slightly so capitalists won’t allow it
No they can't. They are state and local officials and, despite what some governments in red states are saying, foreign relations and immigration are domains exclusive to the federal government.
It’s really gross, but not at all surprising, that we, as a country, don’t have official reporting or tracking of this shit. I mean I know this country gives less than no fucks about women or minorities, but come the fuck on, even with that horseshit piecemeal reporting we -still have- absurdly high maternal mortality stats for a developed country???
That’s shit. The ATA is garbage and only fights for the megacarriers.
As a former truck driver who has had the misfortune to be involved in TWO underride collisions I would happily spend the $3000 or so out of my own pocket just to never see what I saw again. (I won’t go into details as I do not want to relive those memories)
Obviously there’s limits on what’s practical to do, but seeing as this all worked out fine in Europe I’d call it a no brainer.
Spot on. The “elites” and their puppets will not face consequences because they designed the system to benefit themselves. He will continue to be a corrupt parasite and make rulings that will take rights away from people not of the moneyed class.
