Democracy Lost

I hate just about everything that’s on the Republican agenda.

And…they won because Trump told the truth about ONE thing… NAFTA is bullshit. (just look how he flipped all those rust belt states…which Michael Moore called months ago, btw) And Hillary just couldn’t bring herself to just agree…and because for all of the RNC’s flaws… Reince Priebus let the process play out and let the people decide.

The Dems worked overtime to TELL the people who was going to be the nominee and worked overtime to stifle Bernie instead of have more debates and encourage voter turnout, celebrate the rallies and embrace the realization that Hillary missed her window.

What REALLY pisses me off is that while so many liberals piss and moan about Republican voter suppression efforts, they sat and defended the DNC doing the same shit and worse. That hypocritical bullshit just doesn’t have a long shelf life and karma is a bitch.

Mine is going to be gone, too. And I have stage four cancer — since 2003. Chemo visits are roughly $30K now. One day of it. Just. Four. Hours. And it’s typically every other month when I have my two-year regimens. So that’s twelve of them, give or take.

$30K per treatment. No insurance, and I’m literally homeless if I need chemo again.

All kinds of problems with the ACA, and Single Payer is a thousand times better. But it was actually worse before it for people with preexisting conditions.
