    **EDIT: Like you all didn’t just try to get us all to vote for a literally brain-dead guy who let you get poorer for four years. You may not want to admit it, but you’re the same as they are.


    LOL

    The irony here is that this meme is equally applicable to all partisans no matter your team color.

      We’re all operating on the same human operating system, yes. Would be nice if we could figure out how to sand down some of the sharp corners, though.

        If you haven’t had to actually look at your grocery or medical bills for the last four years, then I’m jealous of you.

          Medical cost-to-value and care availability in the US is horrible. The baby steps toward lesser horrid like not allowing denial of insurance due to preexisting conditions barely scratch the surface.

          If you are comfortable sharing (I know conversations on the internet can go unproductively negative fast, and engagement is often not worthwhile), do you expect to see costs like medical and grocery get better while Trump is President? If so, are you expecting to see that benefit this year, or for it to take a few years?

            No, unfortunately. The only way to achieve change is to commit a spectacular act of vigilantism or be a billionaire.

            Look at the choices we were given in the last election: two old, publicly cognitively-impaired men, both of whom had four years to demonstrate to great effect that legislating in a way that allows workers to obtain a reasonably good standard of living wasn’t a priority. I realize the Dems switched out their candidate, but the new one said she wouldn’t change anything about the last election, so it’s fair to say she’d have done nothing about poverty too.
