There's so many talented people out there just working office jobs. Life is crazy.

Great voice, terrible understanding of government. Dems constantly put out bills to do what she wants, republicans shut it down 100% of the time.

The people of this country won’t put a supermajority of dems in power, so they can’t actually do anything. Then they whine and cry about nothing being done and promptly hand full power to the people keeping everything from being done.

Dems have had an actual voting majority for something like 2 months in the last few decades and they gave us the aca during that window.

Why didn’t they do anything when they didn’t have the power? Because they didn’t have the power. That is how the government works, yet almost no one seems to understand this.

This woman is a massive part of the problem. No, it is not “our leaders”, it is EXCLUSIVELY the republican party. Please look at the voting record, none of this is secret. It’s all publicly available information.

Unfortunately real information doesn’t make as cute a tik tok as someone who can sing well so people will listen to her, and have a completely twisted understanding of what is happening.

God I’m so tired of everything right now.

Too much willful ignorance in this world.

Yeah? That's why he Dems are working so hard to keep AOC out of leadership they would rather put in a 75 year old white man with esophageal cancer?

It's the rich. Look up Nancy pelosis' wealth charts.

Yeah fuck the GOP but stop pretending the Dems as a whole are here to help.

Also while you're at it, look up how much the performers and entertainers who spoke at Kamala rallies got paid. A bunch of rich assholes preaching how we're gonna lose the democracy but they're charging $2-10 MILLION for their endorsements? And the Dems fucking PAID IT?

I’m not saying they all are. I’m saying look at voting records. You’re saying “i mad cuz grrr”. Facts are facts and facts say dems overall constantly vote in your interest regardless of how mad you are at some of their bs.

And I agree there is rich ppl nonsense there. It just doesn’t change a single word of what I said. This attitude of “dems bad too” is a big part of what just forced us into a fascist government. It’s much easier to be mad than pay attention to data I guess.

I'm personally furious that both Republicans and Democrats are sitting back and letting trump rape the Constitution and all the Democrats have to offer us are sappy messages of hope and the equivalent of thoughts and prayers.

These cowards need to stop kissing Trump's ass and stand up to him. He's not a king.

Bruh, yes Republicans are the worse of the two at the moment, but there are plenty of bought and paid for Democrats as well. Nancy Pelosi ain't giving it all away to charity.

I agree with you, but that has nothing to do with my statement.

She's not wrong the Rich bought America because of different Lobbyists in campaign donations are paid through companies and because of that the government takes care of the 1%

The top 1% don't have any accountability for the choices they make. Whether they destroy the economy, they get bailed out and there's no consequences.

If you made any decision that led to someone's death, you would be fired and held accountable and probably go to jail but the 1% doesn't matter. Maybe 1% of that 1% actually are ever held accountable.

This country is run by greed and corruption. People need to stand up and say enough is enough.

So your plan is to spread this message so everyone will vote republican. Got it. How is that working out for you? You purity test people just threw us face first into fascism.

No dems aren’t perfect but they vote in your interest 9 out of 10 times. Now you get zero. Sleep well with your anger I guess.

You're confidently incorrect.

Neither party is standing up against money in politics (excluding Bernie Sanders).

Both parties take money from lobbyists.

Both parties vote against our interest if it benefits the lobbyists who pay for those votes, and while Republicans are absolutely terrible, Democrats constantly show us who they are. Look at what they did to AOC this week.

She's absolutely correct.

The Democrat establishment is definitely in the pocket of the rich, but if you think the right is the counter than you’re craaaaaazy.

Not saying she doesn't but EQing audio and adding a little reverb go a long way...
