    Tell me more how Democrats improved living wages and our healthcare system.

    No question the Republicans are going to be worse, sadly (and with full control). But the fact the “party of the people” also gave us a fuck off is a big reason team red won everything.

        That and Obama was actually the first President to ask Congress to raise the minimum wage and be told to fuck off… Which is one of many unfortunate examples of how far our country has turned to the Right

        Affordable Care Act was terrible at first. It’s barely better now. And I was talking about the last four years mostly. My family’s wages went down when you factor healthcare costs (not even considering the inflation on food etc). Democrats need to be pushing for single payer, it’s actually popular even among some Republican voters if the Democrats knew how to communicate with people instead of calling them names. If they would run on fixing minimum wage and European style healthcare they would probably be able to get it done.
