Why would we add $25B to an already $763B defense budget in order to “defend our country” but not pass voting rights legislation to defend our democracy? The greatest threat to our democracy - and it is not a small threat - is voter suppression and voter nullification.

Because Dems don't want to protect voting rights either. The more they win, the more they're expected to do. I'm still waiting to hear how we paid for defense spending increases from the $600B it was raised to under Obama to the near $800B it might be after Biden's first term.

Well there is the Constitution giving voting rights to the state legislatures but limits to DNC power don’t belong in the Constitution anyway.

I mean, ruminations like this is why I firmly believe that democrats are just as corrupt, out of touch, and staunch capitalists as the GOP. Still got families imprisoned at the border. Still have towns without potable water. Still fighting native ppl for private interests.

Yep that's a mystery alrighty. He's another one: When far more people in America die from not being able to afford healthcare than all acts of terrorism combined why don't we have universal healthcare? Bonus mystery: Why don't legislators care?

Doesn't mean you should be the President, but this point is dead-on 🎯

Please listen to Abby Martin @AbbyMartin on Joe Rogan. The US military is also the leading polluter in the world. The military industrial complex is completely unchecked and worse then I ever imagined.

Why don't they put an option for the people to vote to add 25B to the defense budget. Why do the people get to vote on some puppet in a suit instead of real issues? Voting rights legislation would do NOTHING overall.
