"I voted for the evil orange turd because of abortion, but turns out I should have cared about other issues too."
They're always OK with other people not having healthcare but they'll squeal like stuck pigs if it's taken away from them.
She has repeatedly voted so that only the wealthy get full cancer care. Do you know how many people give up on proven treatment because of finances? Hope you enjoy the bills you vored for, bitch.
doG, it looks like a seal!
I think you mean walrus. Seals are skinnier.
Pinnipeds (pronounced /ˈpɪnɪˌpɛdz/), commonly known as seals, are widely distributed and diverse carnivorous, fin-footed, semiaquatic, mostly marine mammals, belonging to the clade Pinnipedia. They comprise the extant families Odobenidae (whose only living member is the walrus), Otariidae (the eared seals: sea lions and fur seals), and Phocidae (the earless seals, or true seals), with 34 extant species and more than 50 extinct species described from fossils.
It saddens me that I can't bring myself to feel bad for her. Three fucking times she voted for this shit. Three. It's mind-numbing and I hate it.
I think the thing I miss most since Trumps first run is my sense of empathy and sympathy. I used to have a belief of sure there's disagreement and there's room for it. Fuck that noise now. Republicans keep voting to hurt my friends consistently. At this point anyone says they're a republican I assume they've lost all sense of humanity, and the head of their party at this point has zero redeeming qualities... even amongst his supporters his chronic backstabbing can't stop.
I keep coming back to the horrified astonishment I felt in late 2025. It was kinda excusable in 2016. But after already having seen what he did to the country for 4 years, and then after Jan 6...
And mind you, my demented, ever conservative, ever pro-capitalist and btw also pro-apartheid father, even he thinks Trump is an idiot who should be nowhere near political power.
What's the answer here? Seems the USA have a deeper problem. I think it's that particularly poisonous combination of consumer capitalism on steroids, and generations of lack of or plain bad education that's often more aligned with capitalist interests. Oh and the history of "The American Dream", i.e. hope that you're the one out of a thousand who succeeds in raping everything and everyone around you for financial gain.
It was nowhere near excusable in 2016. You already had decades of information about who trump was and nearly a decade of the Tea Party showing you EXACTLY the kind of people they were.
I notice you skipped past the mounds of white supremacist bullshit that Americans are force feed during the course of their lives. The same cord that Trump was able to pull on to attract the white vote.
She voted for Trump in 2016, and his first four years seemed steady, so she voted for him again in 2020.
Yup, COVID was real steady
I stopped feeling bad for these morons a while ago.
They vote against our collective interests and then get platformed when it bites them in the ass.
Isn't this "god's judgment" that these weirdos are forever bleating about?
"But but I said to the rapist! Go, rapist, go! Fuck that kid in the poosy! And now he come for me! Why, the rapist? Why?!"
She backed Trump in each of his three campaigns, motivated by her opposition to abortion
Oof
Time and time again conservative voters prove they have absolutely zero empathy or concern until they are personally affected by something.
Fuck her, she got exactly what she voted for.
Used to have sympathy for the rubes who voted for this, but not anymore. Their ignorance has done more to undo this country than my worst predictions.
Sorry, can't feel bad for her. Also, $1300 car payment?
Re: $1300 car payments:
Many vehicles costing upward of 20k or more, probably averaging out for most makes and models to 30K +, no down payment or trade in, being pushed for a shorter term loan, and easily over 6% loan APR?
Yup…car payments get crazy. I put 7K down and had a credit score of 83X back in 2024 when I bought my 2025 Forester at 33K and the best APR I could get was like a 5.7%. My payments are around $520/mo.
Shit is WORSE today with inflation, tariffs, etc.
I just got a $19k car loan for about that APR for 5 years and am only paying ~$350. I actually could have gotten just under 3% if I used my bank, but they were too limiting in where I could buy from. My credit rating is 800+.
I used my bank and they only offered 5.6 or so at the time. Perhaps your got in at a lucky time. Not sure what bank you’re with. I’m, unfortunately, with Bank of America.
A credit union. I ended up with a loan from the bank the dealer works with though. From what I could tell, a small regional bank. Though, the dealer wasn't in that region. 🤷
Yeah... never borrow from huge banks. Local bank or credit union if you can manage it
Car payments can vary wildly depending on purchase price, term and credit rating/interest rate. But if I were to guess, she got the trifecta.
You’re surprised this dumbass makes poor shortsighted choices?
Don’t worry… he has a plan.
At least the cancer believes in affordability even if Trump doesn't.
Conservative victims and desire to destroy everything has led to an increase in everything awful.
The reality is that someone getting free healthcare and getting paid 175000 a year with other benefits doesn't care about you.
Good. Didn't even read the article, I'm satisfied with how that title ends.
Interesting this is reported from McAllen Texas. That's the subject of, IMO, one of the best articles on the US health system, by Atul Gawande: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2009/06/01/the-cost-conundrum
Regardless of whether she voted for trump or not, no American should have to go into medical debt to live and take care of their kids. We are the richest fucking country in the world, we need to take care of our people no matter who they voted for.
But that requires roughly $7,000 a month for utilities, mortgage, car payments and groceries, along with the two water leaks. Then, even with insurance through her job, the surgeries, chemo and radiation added up to over $25,000 that she’s been paying off, making Banda one of tens of millions of other people in the United States in medical debt.
no American should have to go into medical debt to live and take care of their kids.
If that's what they ask for, there is no need to complain about them getting what they asked for. Stop making up apologies for those idiots. Everybody else deserve healthcare - they don't, they are the reason Americans don't have it.
We are the richest fucking country in the world, we need to take care of our people no matter who they voted for.
which matters for noting if you give most of it to a few people. Such vast inequality is a cancer itself. Pikety has done so much work on that for example.
i still remember listening to a interview with Yannis Varoufakis a couple years ago, who said he was driving through the US and his car needed some work done, so he'd stripped in a biggish town having breakfast and ends up talking to some guy, salt of the earth, stand up guy Yannis opined... who ended up letting it be known he was bankrupt, $160k medical debt, Yannis was aghast and said he must be upset at his governments health policies ? The dude was apparently taken aback and said bo, not at all, he blamed himself for being so poor, that he deserved it for not being successful.
I agree with your sentiment
Having said that, I hope that everyone who has ever supported Trump dies tomorrow, all over the world
And it’s not a gotcha because it’s not like democrats are pro Medicare for all anyway. It would be the exact same outcome.
6 kids and voted for Trump purely on anti-abortion. Voted on something that had literally zero impact on HER life. Now that she is being personally impacted by conservative policies and potentially about to put her children through hardship due to financial struggles she wants to vote democrat. All these people are the same, selfish to the core. "I don't want the government helping anyone, until it's me".
I hate this planet.
