Even though this would be a win for all Americans – and humanity – it apparently did not outweigh the politics of making a Democrat look good. This is the definition of party over country.
I’m a doctor.So is my mother. When she got cancer, I realized how little that mattered.
Republicans have stated budget cuts need to be made with an ever-growing debt. But where was this attitude when tax cuts for the wealthy were on the table in 2017? They don’t have to look at patients in the eye and break the devastating news that they have cancer. They don’t have to treat cancers that block intestines or drown a patient’s lungs in fluid.
They need to run on this. Put it in every ad, talk about it on every appearance
was it the 117th cure to be funded?
There are many cancers. And many cancers already have cure. And many don’t.
with an ever-growing debt
Let’s be real here: American debt is so big, that it holds entire world economy hostage.
it’s not american debt, but american loot and interference in other economies which holds the world hostage. No one would care for american debt if all countries were trading in their own currencies. Except, maybe, some if the americans themselves.
So what needs to happen, since we seem to let heads of state address Congress, is to have a mandatory session where cancer patients all come out, addressing their concerns directly.
Since it’s apparently no longer enough to speak at the ballot box, thinking that the person you’re voting for might actually have your good will in mind.
Let the patients speak. Show the room their pic lines. Let them explain about how shitty they feel most days and read names of those in their families who have died from the same cancer they’re carrying now.
Let them say directly to those who put bias and politics first how disgusted they are with the men and women who are supposed to be the ones fighting for them. Not against them like it’s some highschool pissing match.
It would work if these politicians had empathy, but they don’t. Otherwise, the world wouldn’t become the shithole that it is now and massive efforts would be put towards greenhouse gases reduction.
Thoughts and prayers as they say.
How very on-brand for these Republican jerks.
Also, ever notice how often things are attributed to “Congress” in headlines like this? I mean, given the mention of Biden you could infer that it’s most likely the REPUBLICANS IN CONGRESS, not “Congress”, from the headline since it mentions blocking a win for Biden, but…still. Seems to happen a lot. It must be more about that “objective journalism” and the “balance”, etc…
