    I make these comments because I hate seeing people bring up the same tired ideas which lose at the polling booth.

    I agree that people deserve better, but there are a lot of idiots who cannot tell allies apart from foes. There’s no helping such people 🤷‍♀️

      You realize we are not talking about the account or lawyer that lives down the street right?

      We are talking about those who do not contribute a thing to society and get rich from our suffering.

      People are justified in celebrating the death of Brian Thompson. He was not one of us. He is responsible for tens of thousands of deaths in the pursuit of shareholder returns.

      The working class is fed up. You need to make $100,000 to live the American dream now, and that’s if you don’t live near any major city. Anybody with their head on right is not having kids because it is fiscally irresponsible and just going to harm the kid in the long run.

      Now they want to take our social security that we paid into our whole lives.

      Over my dead fucking body.
      No hyperbole. I am not going out silently

      It’s great that you are insulated from the raping of the middle class. But maybe shut the fuck up and listen to people’s stories about UHC

      Brian Thompson earned his death

        Sorry, I wasn’t even talking about this one incident but more in the abstract about the sign in OPs post. I agree that people who take up leadership positions in society have more responsibility, and should be held accountable. The French revolutionaries experienced exactly these same frustrations, so I see some parallels here which make sense. Leaders need to do better, or be replaced one way or another.
