Because Democrats chose to end such provisions via H.R. 2617. Meaning Democrats chose to work with Republicans to throw people off Medicaid. 

 

Maybe you have a certain privilege that prevents you from being negatively impacted by such policy, but when you suggest such like the bold:

..you're just factually wrong. Maybe he didn't take away *your* private insurance, but not everyone can afford private health insurance. 

 

Again, millions upon millions of Americans lost their extended Medicaid coverage due to administrative issues like lost or failed-to-file paperwork, not because they suddenly made too much for be eligible for Medicaid. Democrats failed those millions upon millions of disproportionately poor people. 

 

It's perfectly valid for you to vote for Biden because you've benefitted from Biden's policies. That's the whole point. Voting is transactional.

 

But by the same token, to be HELPED by Biden's policies and not HARMED by Biden's policies is evidence of PRIVILEGE, not the inverse.

Because Biden's policies fall short, because they are regressive, because they cater to right-wing and capitalist interests, they short-change the most poor. 

 

Would you take time out of your day to go to the polls after the two main political parties voted to kick you off Medicaid?

"It doesn't matter if Democrats kicked people off Medicaid, Republicans would do the same" is not a meaningful answer to someone who doesn't have to vote.

"Privilege"

 

What part of being on government subsidized Health Insurance plan due to my low income is priviledged?

Curious as to why this was even given a downvote. Do they believe saying "from the river to the sea" should be considered a felony-level hate crime?

Because it is antisemitism. Again showing your lack of comprehension of politics and desire to spread misinformation to drive home your points. Nowhere in this resolution did sharing that phrase become a felony. 
 

"from river to sea" is Iran launching nonstop missiles on Israel. "From river to sea" is the Oct 6 attacks in real life. "From river to sea" is Hamas' aggression before Oct 6,  when they'd launch missiles nonstop at Israel.

 

but you twitter thinkers only see what videos, posts, and narratives that an algorithm was built to feed you.

From the river to the sea only became an antisemitic phrase when Jonathan Greenblatt of the ADL wanted to make it a taboo, verboten phrase in order to silence pro-Palestinian protesters and pressure universities into revoking their right to assemble on campuses.

 

Worth noting that the phrase exists in the Likid party's charter, in the context that there will only be Israeli sovereignty.

Substance of him having yet another horrifyingly bad senior moment on camera aside…

 

is it just me or does he look almost corpse-like here? Almost like he's going to drop d-word from old age any day now.

 

Anyone else getting that vibe?
