Luigi is more popular than Congress right now.

[–] putainsdetoiles@lemmy.world 1 points 25 seconds ago

I'm more popular that Congress.

I mean, congress negotiated insulin priced down by over 90% average, so you're wrong actually.

The systems still fucked, but it's a bit early to start erasing all the good things from the DNC majority and Biden Admin.

Man that's 1 issue in a sea of healthcare problems, I'm extremely glad that insulin was capped because that shit was insane but it's a pyrrhic victory in the scope of things.

It's like if I was to plug a deep wound I was bleeding out from with my finger. Yes it stops me from dying in the moment and that is cause for some celebration, but I'm still dying just not as quickly.

Yeah but that's over. Everything done can be undone.

I expect enough turmoil within the republican party to make 2026 a viable turnover. Right now they can't even agree on who their speaker should be and are heading straight into government shutdown.

If not, it'll at least be difficult to pass everything they want with only a 53 seat majority in the senate.

Don't forget that these people exist because of the propaganda that they take in. They buy into it. They're not yet aware that it's a class war, not a culture war.

What have you done recently ? (Just asking, not in a condecsending way)

[–] Protoknuckles@lemmy.world 37 points 12 hours ago

Yeah, but that's not hard. I think the approval rating of some strands of herpes is higher than congress.
