As a person with no children and unaffordable cancer medications that I am basically fucked into a corner to be in poverty on medicaid to afford...

These people are fucking worse than my god damned cancer. So because I have no children my cancer just should magically not be a problem and I need to have proof of work?

I want to fucking scream but it does nothing to help. I have a mouth and I must scream but if nobody hears it does it even matter? I will die as just another statistic, a number to be forgotten. To be fair, that's all my life has ever been in this fucking shithole country.

    Can you absolutely fuck off with this shit? Please stop telling people who are literally in pain and suffering every god damned day that they should throw it all away because "they have nothing to lose."

    Why don't some of you pussy ass able bodied people step up for us, asshole? Oh because you still have something to lose? Grow a pair and stand up for people who are suffering when you aren't.

    Asking people suffering to step up for you because you're too much of a pussy to stand up for them. What a fucking travesty of a joke. Get a grip. I hope you end up with "nothing to lose" so you can hear people tell you the same.

    I agree it isn't fair for others to put the ante on those that are sick, but I think your response is also unwarranted. The fact of the matter is, we all have something to lose. That's the primary thing keeping mass civil unrest at bay. I will attend protests and vote, but I sure as hell am not going to start shooting bullets at politicians in the vain hope it'll change anything while subsequently resulting in me going to jail for the rest of my life.

    Hard no. The reaction is absolutely warranted. The same sorts of people who push anti-electoralism/accelerationism are happily asking the sick people, who they helped prevent from getting treatment by installing craven right-wingers, to die for them. That is beyond fucked and should never be met with anything but scorn and derision.

    It's the same fucking story again and again. The cowards want to force things towards violence and not be at risk themselves. Asking sick people to do it for them? No. The only ethical response to someone suggesting that is "go fuck yourself".

    To clarify, btw, gutting medicaid still doesn't give them enough to reverse the deficit increase caused by his tax cuts. The only way to balance the budget is to

    a) tax the rich

    or

    b) to cut some combination of Military, Medicare, and Social Security.

    We know it ain't gonna be the military. It'll be social security first, then medicare.

    That's the point. They can't ever possibly fill the hole because they keep digging it deeper. It's bottomless at this point until tax revenue dries up because we all died.

    Tldr: gop + starve the beast/regulatory capture + the entire us government
