Notices of rising health insurance premiums are landing in voters’ mailboxes and sending some to town halls to vent their frustration.

    “We’ll fix it so good you won’t have to vote again”

    They don’t care about votes anymore, as they’ve made clear

            50% didn’t vote. They effectively voted for the winner and that was Trump. Facts are pretty clear, don’t vote and you are happy with the result.

              I don’t disagree with that, but that doesn’t mean they voted for him. Believe me, I am more upset than you are, Aussie, But let’s not try and say 2/3 of the people cast to vote for him… which is explicitly what you said

                  It’s a choice. You to vote or not vote but at the end of the day, if you don’t vote then you should be happy with result. If you aren’t happy then you missed your chance. Effectively your apathy was a vote for the winner, which is my point. (My use of you and your is rhetorical not personal)

              (specious shitlib logic devoid of facts)

              Facts are pretty clear

              Then you should stick to them rather than repeating the deflections of the ineffective defenders of the shitty status quo.

              don’t vote and you are happy with the result.

              We get it! You think Harris did nothing wrong and everyone who didn’t overcome significant barriers in order to vote for her is either sexist, racist, fascist, or all of the above. 🙄

                It seems to be the American way, I won’t vote for someone I don’t like with the consequence of someone I like less getting in. A pyric victory.

                No, I think that she did stuff wrong - but also anyone who didn’t vote for her is dumber than a sack of shit.

    More like, it’s getting harder for them to deny the Democrats motive for withholding their vote, when their voters are seeing their own premiums skyrocket.

    It’s not actually going to cost them votes though

    Next election (if there is one…) cunts will still vote R, because they’re hateful and stupid

    They will tolerate being hurt, so long as the people they fear and hate are hurt more

    Republicans get higher bills but they know they’re on the right side, and so set to work building up the next link in the chain of lies.

    Let’s watch as they create new lore. What surprising developments will come out, before becoming a thing every single one of them says they believe?

    Today, XYZ has never touched the lips of a conservative. In one week, XYZ will be why they voted for whoever, whatever. XYZ will be a core belief championed by every true Republican.
