    It's not going to pass with the Republicans in control of Congress. But, that's definitely something the Dems can try to push through and hold against the Republicans when it fails. Then say it's on the table still if the Dems win back Congress this fall. Give voters more initiative.

    Bump.
    Anyone else forget this guy exists and is indeed still the president? My brain keeps trying to conflate dropping out of the race with completely stepping down. I know its not the case, maybe it’s just because they dropped him like hot garbage so fast and everyone is trying so hard to inflate Kamala. It just seems like the guy is a ghost these days.

    You mean, the guy that proposed a significant Supreme Court reform just two days ago?

    Check out his amendments proposal for the Supreme Court....it's historical and long overdue....he's also trying to get hostages back from Gaza...those are his two current tasks at hand. Joe's never been lazy and he's turned his attention to the work without the Trump campaign interrupting the process. Pretty clear actually if you pay attention and don't need to make everything into a partisan conspiracy....(I mean you in the plural sense) It's fine to not like Joe but his term in office has been nothing short of miraculous given what he inherited.

    All I care about is that he doesn't forget he's the president.

    I guess this is Biden's fault then?

    Thanks Joe!

    The lesser of two evils argument, is a moronic trap too many people fall for. There is no such thing as the lesser of two evils. There is only evil.

    So, when someone says Joe is the lesser of two evils. What they are really saying is, Trump and Joe are both evil.

    The former framing, simply lets Joe off the hook for his evil acts. Which is literally why it is framed that way. It is easier on the psyche to keep it from too much trauma, as it cushions the mind... from the truth.

    People simply don't like seeing the truth. So they have made up so many ways to avoid it, that eventually, we have stupid sayings like this one, that mask the truth.

    People don't like the truth. So we have come up with too many ways to avoid it.

    Humans lie to themselves so much, they don't even know how to see the truth anymore.

    Lol
    I feel so bad for the medical industry.... You realize those are inflated prices so they can write them off, right?

    If we had universal healthcare those prices would be a fraction, and far less than they pay in taxes. The actual cost is definitely far less than they pay.

    When it costs $1200 to talk to a doctor for 3 minutes while a nurse puts a wet cast on my daughter's arm that I then have to hold in place.

    $1200 just for the doctor's time. The X-ray was paid for separately. The nurse's time was paid for separately. The cast was paid for separately.

    Most countries with universal healthcare that's $45 total.

    It's not their fault we have a shitty healthcare system that we allow to abuse us like that.

    That would be the fault of Republicans. Actually Dems as well. They've had multiple chances to get this fixed.

    That's $500 per visit. Nearly all ER visits. This is a shitty US healthcare problem, in which our leaders allow healthcare to extract money from our pockets. Not an illegal immigrant problem.

    Yeah, that's straight bullshit. Trump is a far greater evil than Biden or Harris.

    What you're doing right now is making the "both sides" argument look irrational.

    Both sides are bad. Trump is worse than most on both sides.
