The disgraceful Supreme Court justice should be held accountable for his actions but probably won’t.

    so practically speaking not much of safety net unless you are old, or single poor mother, which i support no doubt but that is [not] a safety net a vast majority of the population.

    also, note mental health services, food banks, soup kitchens >>> federal government and states hardly provide these, they are provided by private sector…

    even those have been steadily eroded under successive administration since 1980s, which share of taxes paid by working people have been increasing. so working person pays more taxes and gets no safety net for the most part.

    You need to get educated instead of vomiting generic talking points, it would help this country if everyone did the same.

      You know one of the parties keeps voting to take away the safety nets/keep us from getting them right? I’m all up for getting a third forth and even fifth party but its just not going to happen unless we can fix the current system and the gop is never going to let that happen.

      so what is your solution, vote for the GOP and pray they will suddenly decide NOT to gut every social program they can find?

        Voting for either party is providing legitimacy to the regime. you are better off voting with your feet and money since that’s the last place you still have some agency. political process is captured, voting third party is the only logical decision but none of them are really inspiring any confidence since they shill degeneracy.

          If you only care about ideology and not actual people that are suffering every day, then yeah, giving up and letting other people solve the problem is the best thing you can do.
