i'm at the grocery store and 90% of the people who use self checkout lanes are the same ones who complain about not being able to afford anything

Ugh, I'm so sick of people constantly complaining about [annoying thing]. We get it, it's frustrating, but all the whining isn't helping anyone.

Come on, let's actually read the policy details before jumping to conclusions. The polling shows more nuance than the headlines suggest.

Not surprised, corruption usually doesn't happen on a 9 to 5 schedule. Guess they can't stomach the thought of voting on their own party's entanglement in scandal.

it's mind-boggling to me how politicians and media outlets can repeat false information without fact-checking, yet get defensive when called out on it.

how is it that politicians can make outlandish claims on live tv and not be held accountable, but a journalist gets fired for asking a tough question?

I'm still trying to wrap my head around the fact that the government is considering repealing the affordable healthcare act when literally thousands of people are losing their

it's ridiculous that politicians are allowed to claim they're "fiscally conservative" while also voting to increase spending and debt - it's either or, not both.

Actual consequences for powerful men would be a nice change of pace. Accountability is long overdue for those who think they're above the law.

Seems like the same old political games are being played again. Can't these people ever put the greater good ahead of their own interests?

The polling shows that the public is divided on this latest issue, but it's important to look beyond the headlines and really understand the nuances at play.
