US Elections (& Politics) :)

I recall Pelosi's "...we have to pass it so we can read what's in it" or the like...
I think the common "extend the subsidies" solution would make the overall problem worse. Sure, on an individual level, it sounds great and makes for convincing bleeding heart stories. For the overall big picture, it will just make a poorly designed, corrupt system worse, eventually biting those it helps up-front even harder than they're getting bit now. The solution isn't to throw more money at it, which will eventually flow to big pharma and the layers of useless make-work administrators. The solution is to fix the lousy damn system that the dems stuck us with. Of course, congress isn't capable of doing that, maybe not even motivated, but that's a different subject.

So the solution is?
Republicans control all 3 branches of government.
I was one for 40 years until going NPA in 2020
Keep playing Red/Blue Team and let me know how that works out.

Sounds like I’m the only one that thinks this is hugely wrong and probably illegal as hell?
Is that how we can expect future Presidents to play? Or is it only ok for Trump to do it?

This forum I recall as having a lively conversation about politics.
Now, it appears to be purely a curated TDS X-feed.
An interesting change, clearly has some merit. As I'm not retired to a Lazy-boy with a LAN perma-linked to the twitter-pulse, I've not the time nor inclination to meme-war. I'll look in once in a while to check on the place. If the monopolized monotone drone should give way to conversation someday, I'll take another look.

Just don't check in on the "Election and Politics" thread.....that's what I do when I get overloaded by either or both "sides", if you will....works for me!

Not voter fraud, per se, but obvious foreign interference in US elections.
We've been sold down the river by the people we vote for, and continue to vote for them. A special kind of stupid?
