    As someone who is disabled myself… this is so true. When Kamala made it sound like that anyone who worked hard enough would be fine, all I could think to myself was, what about those of us who can no longer work? First, anyone on SSDI is most likely making barely enough for the average rent. Also, anyone that has had to deal with insurance companies knows that the insurance lobby controls policy regardless of party.

      What does Kamala have to do with this? “Anyone who worked hard enough would be fine” is a republican talking point.

      The idiot elect is going to further degrade your social nets because they believe youre a grifter.

        I’m not sure if you ever heard her talk about her policy, but “if you’re a hard worker and work hard enough, you’ll be fine” was literally her talking point and policy. I don’t disagree that Trump will be worse, but having dealt with SSDI & insurance companies, the problem isn’t just Republicans. Everything wrong with America isn’t just the doing of Republicans. Democrats pretending otherwise is one of the big reasons they lost this time.

            Tbf, I have that tendency just because the media put it in my brain.

          She was only trying to cater to republicans who says she just gives out free money, in response to people saying she’s a socialist/communist

          Nobody thinks the democrats aren’t at fault for stuff, it’s ridiculous to ignore the nuance in this case.
