  • Oh, you mean Operation Warp Speed, which Trump announced on May 15, 2020 after 100k deaths in the US?

    Did you know it was funded by the CARES act, which was introduced into the House by Democrat Joe Courtney on January 24, 2019? Yup, Democrats were introducing Coronavirus legislation over a year before Trump “Warp Speeded”.

    But Trump completely bungle testing, couldnt make sure medical personnel had access to protective gear, he continually lied about how serious the pandemic was and spewed misinformation about quack cures like hydroxychloroquine. At a time when America needed unity, Republicans divided it with anti-mask rhetoric, which they continue even today.

    But yes, at least Trump signed the CARES Act bill. “Ta da”



  • There is no mindset keeping people from voting third party. It’s impossible for anything but a two party system to result from a First Past the Post system. It’s not a bug, as they say, it’s a feature.

    There is no momentum, it will always fail. Go to Wikipedia and look up the article “Political Parties in the United States”. They have a chart showing the popular vote break down going back to Washington. Check out 232 years of history telling you how ineffective and useless it is to vote 3rd party in our current system.

    You have to get rid of the Electoral College and FPTP FIRST, before a vote for an alternate candidate will ever have any meaning. This isn’t my opinion. It’s reality, and it’s time you joined it.

    In his story, his friend’s mother boldly picked mushrooms from her backyard, cooked them into an omelet for the family, but DID NOT EAT the omelet herself.

    Nothing would stop her from growing old while continuing this pattern of bold collecting, although a stint in prison might make for an earlier retirement than expected from the foraging scene.

    At least you named yourself appropriately. Lazy. Otherwise, you would know that Obama attempted to provide a public option for healthcare. You do realize how politics works, right? You need a certain amount of votes and support in order to pass new legislation. If you don’t have enough votes on both sides of the aisle, then you change NOTHING. So yes, one side, the Democrats, tried to provide healthcare that had a public option, and the other side, the Republicans, fought tooth and nail to stop it.

    And you blame Obama. <polite golf clap>
