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.

I think they just might, though. There’s a unifying experience with cancer that transcends party lines. Not a single person in this country has not been affected themselves or know someone affected by cancer.

Democrats really need to drive this point home. They need to make this personal for every voter, not partisan. Blatantly say that cancer doesn’t give a fuck if you’re Republican, Democrat, wealthy, or poor. Or can come for anyone, even those that have spent their life trying to live healthily.

What they’ve done it’s akin to an alien invasion movie where instead of defending the planet, Congress decides to do nothing because it might give someone they don’t like a political win. It baffles my mind how inhumane Republicans and the mega wealthy are.

Honestly, if tRump was president and there was a chance to cure cancer for good, I’d be 100% fine giving him that win. I’d send him a personal fucking thank you letter.

Fuck cancer and fuck Republicans!

Sean Hannity: As usual the Demonrats are LYING about how our brave Congress stood up to the elites that were demanding that you give your hard earned tax money to democrat pharma companies! They aren’t looking to cure cancer, they’re LYING!

and every maga moron will believe it.

There is no true reality to be agreed upon when propaganda is allowed to run so rampant. I FULLY believe 1000000% that the BIGGEST problem we have is propaganda. Solve that and we can actually start making progress.

maga morons don’t matter. when will people understand, winning for democrats is not about deprogramming cult members. it’s about winning the undecided and energizing their base so they actually get their ass to the voting machines.

conservatives are and always have been a minority. the reason they keep winning is that they vote. and they do everything in their power to prevent others from voting.

we will always have stupid, hateful, regressive people in our society, and we will always have those that cater to them to make a buck. it’s easier and better to instead try and work around them to advance society anyway. they’ll complain about anything and everything no matter what we do. might as well do good.

I think the big difference for some countries is their atrocities are in the past while the United States is committing them right now and has been doing so consistently for the last few decades.

But yeah, totally the same.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
