Those are some ridiculously low numbers… So to be considered in poverty, you have to earn less than 26k jointly for a household of 3. I don’t think you’d have a house for a household at all at that amount. Barely. Making ends meet with just food, actually you’re probably going hungry every other day at that amount.

And the poverty line hasn’t been adjusted since the 60’s iirc. No president wants to be the one that tells everyone we have so much more poverty now!
I thought it was a trans antifa Marxist! /s

Reproductive Freedom for Women Act: Bill was introduced too late, killed on Jan 3rd 2025 as it still hadn’t reached the senate floor by presidential turnover. Certainly feels like it was on purpose. It’s not like senators don’t know how long bills take to pass.
Women’s Health Protection Act: Joe Manchin (D) voted against, nullifying the tie breaker effect that the VP (D) would’ve had.
Ensuring Access to Abortion Act: Never passed the 60 vote threshold.
Freedom to Travel for Health Care: Never passed the 60 vote threshold.
You got more? Keep them coming. I can keep showing you how Democrats torpedo their own bills and then blame the Republicans to keep the status quo and keep fundraising off of us.
Yeah for the last two there, the filibuster is the culprit. But Democrats also had the opportunity to get rid of it with Biden and didn’t. So then you deal with it, keep bringing the bill on the floor till you get cloture.
But at least they don’t try to set everything on fire. Still the better option. But still not great.

The democrats are also not a serious party. They are grifters.
And that’s why we are in this mess.
What I got from your post is “Italian coffee is crap” and that sounds preposterous to me.
A good dark roast is hard to achieve without burning the beans. But also removes the disgusting acidic taste from the beans that medium and light roasts heretics have been trying to demand our respect for.
