In short Republicans are going to screw over 23 million poor Americans because they don’t want Democrats getting political credit for helping them during an election season. And because our press is generally broken and afraid of calling a duck a duck, this is going to get dressed up as a genuine concern about wasteful spending by a party that’s long been a huge fan of no shortage of wasteful spending.

    Because problems dont go away if you ignore them.

    And it’s harder for politicians to ignore problems if people talk about them.

    And if more people are talking about them, it’s more likely the politicians actually address them.

    Which is good for the people suffering from the problem, and helps the politician get elected.

    So tell me. What’s so wrong about asking for more from the only rational choice I have when I vote for president?

    What do you think will happen if dek voters aren’t allowed to criticize Dem politicians?
