We really need an amendment or two around medical care. However, the same problem preventing that is what is causing the need in the first place: Republicans in national and state legislatures. The judiciary sucks right now, but it’s really not their job to do anything but evaluate whether this is constitutional and it likely is (in a post-Dobbs world). I’d love to see the right to privacy ruling come back, but that’s not happening. All of those assumptions can be changed with dedicated, long-term strategic voting and a bit of luck with justice health. Please vote.

Edit: Somebody replied and I have you blocked. Just don’t want you to have to wait for a response. Lemmy should really just hide my comments from you so we don’t run into this issue, but such is life.

yes please vote for the do nothing democrats that only promise and ask for funding

and don’t vote third party because that is a vote for the Republicans

Biden is not Trump

looks like the people are definitely losing this November with these same lines being chanted over and over

Biden has stated on record he wholly believes in Catholicism not just pieces of it and picked a prosecutor as a vice

how are they suppose help again?

Have you checked the average cost of general healthcare or maintenance medicine under Democrats vs Republicans ever? More specifically, have you seen how affordable things are now vs four years ago for large portions of the populace in the US?

have you seen how affordable things are now

this is kind of voters voting in the US right now

both party’s four years looked shitty and even worse the past four years

prices are skyrocketing and continuing their skyward advance towards space and beyond

personally got less healthcare today than a decade ago at a much more premium price tag

are you talking about the free Jesus clinics that have “What is your religion?” on the intake forms? those are still free the very very few of them in the US

I just absolutely LOVE how you can cut and paste to comment me out of context. Master work there. You should have a YouTube channel!

Prices have recently been coming down on groceries, gasoline, and consumer goods. Even Target and McDonalds have announce price cuts.

If the democrats had solid control of both houses of congress and the presidency, you would be seeing a single-payer option for health care.
