Never mind.
True, but Biden will never make it clear, because simply saying he wants to give them free, full healthcare, which US citizens don’t have, would not go over well outside the coasts.Quote:

This isn't political differences so much as it is a political feud. People are now scared of the other side, and mad at the other side, and that's COMPLETELY crushing any likelihood of reason playing any sort of a role. I think it has been that way for a while, but it is worse now than it's been in my lifetime. Throw in the fact that politicians are more than willing to use fear and anger as tools for their own personal selfish gain, and that's making things even more of a mess.
I think DJT's informal unpredictable approach is a disaster in a lot of what he does especially domestically. However, it is perfect for the trade war. It may crater markets but it's a price worth paying IMO.
The greatest threat we face is the the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact. If you live in Ohio, you should be aware OH HB 70 is current in committee. I'd urge you to contact your representatives and preemptively voice opposition if you believe in Federalism. If NPVIC passes the threshold*, NY and CA will usurp the voice of the midwest and south. That's not hyperbole. We should all be very afraid of the democrats' scheme to destroy state rights and the equal representation of a diverse federal citizenry through the dictatorship of a popular vote. I for one am not from NY or CA, I don't live in NY or CA, and the people of NY and CA do not represent my values and beliefs. I have no desire to be beholden to them.Quote:

Why is it worth it? I am genuinely asking and interested in your reasoning?Quote:

Rather, how about actually addressing legislation that may help solve the current Immigration Crisis- which it really is despite Jim Acosta's carefully placed visit to a remote Texas border location where no one tries to cross- and health care and infrastructure issues. How about just stopping the Trump Derangement Syndrome and maybe do something you were elected to do?
This next election is gonna be fun. A bunch of 2 year Reps that got elected that will be running for re-election on a platform of nothing done but preaching hatred of the current administration and boolsheet. Can't wait to see that empty sheet of accomplishments. That's definitely a plan to govern, Dems. Keep shooting yourselves in the ass.
