@Mary625 @zakalwe @micchiato I was so excited about his campaign and volunteered and donated. But in 2018 the high cost of the ACA destroyed my small business. My husband lost his job and our insurance, and the cheapest policy on the ACA was $2600/month with a $14k deductible. I'd been running a freelance book development company and my husband couldn't find a decent job so I had to close and get a job just for affordable health insurance. It took me years to get over the resulting depression.

@Jennifer @Mary625 @zakalwe @micchiato Swell. So you'll vote for Nazis and Xian crazies instead, so you can put an end to Social Security and Medicare and public education? Good thinking. If you think Democrats are bad, wait 'til you find out what it's like when the entire US is run like Florida and Texas with a demented sociopath in charge and Marjorie Taylor Green has a Cabinet position. Brilliant.

@Mary625 @Jennifer @zakalwe @micchiato First, I've detested Joe Biden for 32 years. Second, I hate DINOs. Third, Jimmy Carter was the last Democratic POTUS. Fourth, a DINO and tool of the MIC is still better than a moron dictator who worships Putin and loves Kim Jong In. Trump murdered over a million Americans and many more will die with him and the sadistic GOP in charge. Especially women, but I doubt that you give a shit about that.

@Threadbane @Jennifer @zakalwe @micchiato Trump is an evil mother fucker. Biden isn't much better. No one should be vote shamed. I'm so tired of this being on people for using their vote as they are supposed to, as they see fit, and not about the politicians who are causing this horrible shit we're in. Biden must shift if he wants to win and that is on him and no one else

@Mary625 @Threadbane @Jennifer @zakalwe @micchiato Shift way left. But even then, what he’s done to the Palestinians is unforgivable.

@Hudson @Mary625 @Jennifer @zakalwe @micchiato What every president since Truman has done to the Palestinians. Gaza is just a continuation of the Zionist colonization of Palestine. Netanyahu's sadistic slaughter of the indigenous people of Palestine was aided by every Western power. Biden tried to end the worst of the arms shipments, but the way our govt is organized, the Republican House made stopping them entirely impossible. Biden gets VERY bad advice from his Zionist Sec of State,, too.

@Threadbane @Hudson @Mary625 @Jennifer @zakalwe You could not be more wrong. While option for Israel has carried on since Truman — excepting LBJ, Trump, & Biden — POTUS have wavered in support. JFK tried hardest to hold a middle ground. Reagan confronted Begin over an image of an infant with its arms blown off, and forced an end to Israeli bombing. 15,000 kids dead since Oct; Joe did nothing.Biden’s MOU arms deals don’t require congressional approval. POTUS has privilege to end MOU anytime.

@ogalachowski @Threadbane @Hudson @Mary625 @Jennifer @zakalwe It was James Baker who took stronger stances contra Israel, telling Shamir, “When you’re serious about peace, call us.” Biden would never do that.

@micchiato @ogalachowski @Threadbane @Hudson @Jennifer @zakalwe Wasn't that more about Iran? I mean how did they do Iran/contra if they fully supported Israel? I'm not gonna lie here, though I have done a great deal of studying on this in the last 15 years, I'm nowhere near as familiar with what each US administration did to fuck shit up more. At least through Obama

@Mary625 @micchiato @ogalachowski @Hudson @Jennifer @zakalwe Iran-Contra was more about paying the Ayatollah for keeping the hostages until after the election and trying to overthrow the communist president of Nicaragua. Congress refused to fund his war, so Reagan stole US armaments and sold them to the Ayatollah, an act of treason against the US, for $167M to finance the Contras in Honduras to wage a proxy war instead. Reagan even mined Nicaraguan harbors in violation of international law.
