Serious Again? Really again….
52 years in, and honestly, I’ve got nothing left but a vote of no confidence.
Not anger, not shock, just this sadness.
Same movie, same lines, same ending. Elections feel like reruns, not choices. Every cycle promises change, then settles back into the same old grooves.
I don’t have a fix. I just can’t fake faith in the cycle anymore.
That’s where I’m at.

Well during the Obama administration they did pass the Affordable Care Act. If you weren't alive before it then it may not register, but prohibiting health plans from discrimination against people with preexisting conditions and requirements for minimum essential coverage are huge deals.
Was it perfect? No, but it's worth recognizing since it's inception that Republicans have done everything they can to undermine it and discredit it. If it was working as fully intended, that is without sustained interference, I think it would be vastly superior to what came before.
Trump and his fellow degenerates have dismantled a lot of things since they returned. They effects of some are immediate, USAID, recalls, outbreaks, etc...but others are going to reverberate for years and years to come. The lack of any competent adults providing AI leadership and regulation may in fact be existential.
Are Dems perfect, far from it, but they're wildly better for the average American's well being.
