It seems like nothing they say matters anymore. Some Republicans want to get rid of Medicare. You would think this would lose them massive votes among the elderly, their biggest constituency. But it just doesn’t seem to matter.
Because they aren’t taking Medicare away from the elderly. They’ve been proposing to take it away from gen x and future generations. The boomers still get theirs under all the proposals I’ve seen.
It’d be stupid, but it’s love for someone to run on the platform of immediately defunding Medicare just to see the heads spin, and expose the hypocrisy
These people will consistently vote against their own best interest to “own the libs” which I’m not even sure what that means at this point.
If it’s so bad why doesn’t she refuse the socialist healthcare provided by her job in Congress?
Why do people keep listening to her and giving her attention?
She has power. She’s on major committees and basically controls McCarthy’s speakership. Ignoring her won’t make her go away.
Yeah… I got yelled at a while back for saying that I think she’s irrelevant. Apparent I’m not allowed to think that because she’s a super-important politician™
A person who works in government administration (the governing body that decides the laws you have to obey) is relevant, even if unlikable.
Edit: also ‘yelled at’? Lol I saw that thread. It was you ignoring 12 people talking sense to you.
I was me being told I wasn’t allowed to have the OPINION that she is irrelevant TO ME.
I don’t think that’s how it went. Enjoy your opinion.
So not only are you telling me what my opinion should be, you’re telling me that how I said it wasn’t how I said it?
Is there a gatekeeping award coming up? Because I’d love to nominate you.
Lol, unrustle your jimmies.
Lol, make sense.
Republicans have been against Medicare since the Johnson administration. Reagan railed against it too early in his political career. This isn’t new. Arguments against it now are still just as dumb as they were in the 60s.
Imagine thinking the one part of healthcare system that almost works is the problem
Medicare is the best medical insurance in America. You automatically get the best price on everything (except drugs) because the profiteering charge is automatically removed.
The only problem with it is that reimbursement rates are so low that a lot of private practice doctors just won’t take it.

So what is her solution then? Homelessness is bad, ok, do what did she propose to fix it? Funding Ukraine with old military equipment that is being replenished with modern equipment both bolstering or arsenal and increasing manufacturing jobs in America, doesn’t protect our borders, conveniently ignoring the huge negative effect it has had on one of our biggest military rivals. Also, were not just giving that shit away.
How does anybody this fucking stupid get to that position and have the power that she does? She is so fucking dumb.
