I wish people would stop referring to Dems as 'the left'. There's nothing left about them as as far as I can see. Does the western world actually have a functioning left? There are lots of lefties with nowhere to go. A great opportunity for actual leftist parties.

Cuts in Medicare, Mark, but apparently no cuts for Israhell.

Every year my SS creeps up a minuscule amount. And withdrawals for Medicare creep up more. So I’m not only not breaking even, I’m taking a loss.

I’m certain this is true for most recipients.

Back to Diana’s wise comment: where were the TRUE independents back when we needed an alternate party?

It’s not too late and it comes from both sides of the aisle. Thomas Massie, Rand Paul, Chris van Hollen, Rashida Tlaib, Mark Pocan, Ilhan Omar… WHY do you continue to identify with your respective parties? Either join the Greens or start your own!

If the majority of Americans want to keep social programs the way they are (or expand them) then WHAT IS HOLDING US BACK? We the People don't need to wait for these paid-off politicians to do what we want them to do--we need to DEMAND that they do what we tell them to do--or else!

No need to pretend the duopoly works for anyone but the billionaires.
