    So basically telling them it shouldn't happen like that but with more words.

    No wonder Trump fucking won.

    Well you're over here saying it doesn't happen, at the same time we see story after story of profit driving winners and choosers in the healthcare system.

    I think the mail service guy was also doing a bunch of shit that people hated but everyone had agreed for years was necessary.

    If Trump's cabinet can get confirmed before he's sworn in, why can't Trump just assume office right now? What happened to WWG1WGA? Take the West Wing by force, patriots!

    p much it. i think the vast vast majority of individuals in the medical field do not gouge their customers or have any vested interest in prolonging illness, most i have worked with seek to ease the burden on the patient if anything, but the structuring systems are incentivized towards profit and there is only so much any individual can do as suboptimal healthcare services are provided inefficiently nationwide. it ought never be forgotten that among all high-income countries American healthcare is both the most expensive and the least effective.

    Why are there Dems missing these votes? Why is Kamala in Hawaii? Shouldn't have to rely on Trump being a moron to get judges through. FFS push through as many as you can.

    Because they don't actually fucking care, it's business as usual for them while we all end up suffering under Trump and they can flip around in 2 yrs and raise a shit ton of $$ off the "Trump has been horrible for us! Get us in and we'll make it so much better we promise! We can't let this fascist get his way!"

    During public fund raising, it's monster this and hitler that and end of democracy

    When they aren't on camera is just the same routine. They're just going to insider trade through it, be uneffected by all of it (see ruling class) and pretend like it was a travesty next time.

    Theyre only there to enrich themselves, not represent us. We've all been alive long enough to stop being naive.

    if there was ever a time to see democratic complacency in plain view, this is it. it gets easier to see why turnout was depressed for kamala, as it tacks on yet another big factor as to why she lost (among a sea of many). dems should be fighting for every scrap possible like their hair is on fucking fire, and that's just not the case.

    good segment from jon stewart, btw

    On a more sensible note - The Democratic Majority Whip Sen. Durbin probably has the calculus done to allow Harris a scheduled vacation for these votes. GOP decided to fumble on this. Otherwise Schumer would not bring these appointments to a vote.

    Then again idk if this is sarcasm on both these posts.

    I am so ready to get gaslit by Redditors in 4 years about how these ghouls are true Americans and (somehow once again) the last bastion between fascism and freedom.

    Schumer and Pelosi STUMP THE TRUMP with EPIC POLITICAL BRILLIANCE!

    Get it all out while you can. We've got about 2 years until the midterms when this kind of talk will get you banned from /r/politics again (aka when the PAC staffers start their scheduled shift)

    the profit motive in healthcare really feels like the root issue here. even with well-meaning people in the system, the structure is set up to prioritize revenue over outcomes, which leaves patients suffering. it’s frustrating when basic care and preventive solutions are treated as afterthoughts while inefficiencies just pile up
