So if our democracy can’t address this universal human need - healthcare without financial ruin - what use is our democracy? And I think that’s basically 2024 in a nutshell - Democrats just trying to protect their way of doing things, letting Trump capture all the anger that actually delivers votes.

In a democracy responsive to the needs of normal people (i.e. one that made it impossible for you to go bankrupt just because you got sick), you would never see this. But every American agrees our healthcare is terrible, and even Obamacare was basically just giving a bandaid to someone bleeding out

I also thought Harris running on “democracy is at risk” was weak before, but this week really crystallized it for me. Parts of the American experience are so broken that Americans online have more or less unanimously celebrated a healthcare CEO being killed.

i’m guessing “junt” is just chuggy guitar riffs in this case? but idk! it’s big baby energy!

seriously though when i was 10 i saw the music video for faint by linkin park and it changed my life - it’s so fun to see both this performance and gojira opening the olympics in the same year, feels like we’re having a moment

credit where credit is due I haven’t seen woke used as a pejorative in this particular context before. also, you’re soft

whoever is doing the marketing for rosemont needs to get promoted, this is getting ridiculous

no worries I’m right here

sorry when i wrote this i was still basking in the biden dropout / brat summer afterglow and forgot the democrats are the biggest losers on the planet
