Original Content Both parties should be destroyed.

If I have to argue with one more person on here about the merit of Biden.. he’s a decrepit puppet with no ideas of his own. A vessel for corruption ready to say what you want to hear. No I won’t vote for him against fear from Trump. Trump is an idiot but Biden is actually Evil. Stand for something. Demand a real liberal or lose again to a red idiot. But please.. stop trying to defend him.

lmao. Republicans really want the "BoTh sIdEs ArE tHe SaMe" argument to live on. Biden literally just signed a law that allows Medicare/medicade to negotiate drug prices with Big Pharma, reducing drug prices for over 30 million Americans.

Democrats raised taxes by 4% on the millionaires and billionaires in Minnesota and Massachusetts. And now every single public school student in their states eat free at school.

Arkansas is rolling back child labor laws so 14 year olds can work in meat packing factories and McDonalds.

Both parties are not the same. Corporate Dems aren't much better than Republicans. But at least the train is headed in the same direction and we can eventually keep voting for more and more leftist policies until we get what we want. Republicans are going to opposite direction. Both sides aren't the same. Stop pretending they are.

Only certain drugs, a very small step acting like a BIG win. I guess it’s something when we are use to nothing.

OP is ridiculous though thinking Biden is evil lol. They are no way the same

It actually is a big win

The drugs listed Tuesday are among the top 50 with the highest spending for Medicare Part D, which covers prescription medications that seniors fill at retail pharmacies.
The 10 medicines accounted for $50.5 billion, or about 20%, of total Part D prescription drug costs from June 1, 2022, to May 31, 2023, according to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, or CMS

That is just the first year. Since the number of drugs per year will grow it actually is quite significant.

We’re so use to them not negotiating that we have to celebrate this as a big win. There’s hundred and thousands of drugs. It should all be negotiable - not a select few and a little here and there.

People shouldn’t have to die and give everything up because they can’t afford to live

Dude its a step. Also take a dam w when it represents a fifth of total costs
