Usual Ballot Box Choices: Closet Republican or Republican. People get to decide if they will be killed by their govβt slowly or quickly. The two party system was designed this way intentionally. Most people arenβt even aware the League of Women Voters ran the debates. There were more than 2 parties.

Americans understood that Trump and Republicans were to blame.

I'm single. No kids, no claims, no pre-existing conditions. The cataclysmic leap from paying $50 a month to $1,228.28 a month is a level of devastation the depth of which I'm struggling to articulate. I wasn't going to be able to afford when I thought it was going up to $350 a month. And now...π΅

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.
Congratulations, 8 corporate dems sold out the American people. Itβs time we replace them with people that will work for the American citizens!
