“Having a long record gives people the understanding that these ideas that I’m talking about, they’re in my guts, they’re in my heart. This is who I am as a human being.”
Joe Biden was the goddamned Vice President of the United States of America. He literally owns more than one home. His son was working as the attorney general in Delaware. And even they came to a point where they were struggling to figure out how they would be able to pay for all this without bankrupting themselves in the process. His son couldn’t even quit his job even though he had fucking brain cancer because his family needed the money, even though his illness was starting to affect his ability to work in the first place.
And Joe Biden is the same stupid fucker who thinks universal health care is a pie in the sky fever dream that most Americans don’t deserve because protecting the assets of health insurance companies is far more important for him and the Democratic establishment than anything else.
If the state of the American healthcare system is such that even a person with a reasonably well-paying job, with better health insurance than most other people are privy to, can’t afford to quit their job, even though their illness makes it increasingly difficult for them to work, because they wouldn’t be able to afford their treatment without having to get their parents to take out a second mortgage on their second house, what does this say about the state of things for literally everyone else in the country???
