In a recent development, Instagram has shut down the account of physician and presidential candidate Jill Stein. After previously losing access to her original account, Stein created a new one, only for it to be disabled as well. According to Meta, the parent company of Instagram, the deactivation was due to violations of community guidelines surrounding "account integrity and authentic identity."
I still wondered why, I’ve read the story over and over again.
All of these issues will remain the same no matter who you vote for.
The Democrats have had the White House and Congress twice in the last sixteen years, and even had a supermajority for part of Obama’s presidency.
All we (and by ‘we’ I mean the poor and middle class) got for it was more expensive health care and higher war spending. We didn’t get a minimum wage increase. Health care and education are now cost-prohibitive for tens of millions, and infrastructure in most areas of the country is declining. For an added kick in the junk, Roe was repealed when Democrats had the majority and the White House and they did nothing about it.
Tell me you don’t pay attention to or understand American politics without telling me…
The supermajority is the only time the democrats reasonably could have pushed anything through while the Republican party’s only goal is to obstruct any and all progress. Any yes, during that time there was lots of infighting. We also guaranteed health insurance for the first time and passed the ACA.
Want change? Go make it instead of yelling at a bunch of people that also want change on a semi-popular forum.

If you’re a wage earner, need an education, health care, an abortion, or working infrastructure… your vote’s wasted almost everywhere in this country.
That’s the two party system.
False equivalence.
No it isn’t.
