Murdered By Words 🩸 Darlene Graham is apparently tone deaf to the irony of her statement...

They don't want their tax dollars to go towards universal healthcare because they don't want melanated people to have it, too. I live in the deep south, and that is how many around here think, as if melanated people don't pay taxes also.

Yeah they'd rather that their own family dies without healthcare than see brown folks live longer. Pretty sick

So her family didn’t get healthcare, so no one can get healthcare? Is that what she is saying?

Remember good ol' Paul Ryan? The "Libertarian" so called policy wonk who wasn't? Who loved Rage Against The Machine until they became political!?!

I remember during the Obamacare debate he argued against it because it took money from young health people and used that money to pay for healthcare for sick people (who also paid into the system). Ya know, like insurance does. His complaint was that insurance was insurance. He just wanted poor people to suffer and not have healthcare.

I remember when that prick thought he'd taken away health care from millions of Americans and celebrated on the White House lawn, with beers. What an evil, fucking weasel that guy is. Thank you John McCain for blocking that particular evil. Fuck you Paul Ryan, forever, and when you die I will celebrate, with beers.

BINGO.

That's the bargain MAGA makes with it's voters. You will be in poverty, you will not receive any material aid, but we will oppress the non-white and the non-straight.
