America 1776-2025

She had a good run, but in the end could not overcome the bigotry, selfishness and ignorance.

Context, the Senate bill that just passed.

That's what the majority don't yet understand, this bill crushes the working class. The American experience just got incredibly harder for the bottom 95%. You will work longer and harder for less. You will push retirement off until you're about dead because there's nothing to take care of you if you aren't working well into your golden years.

Why not 2024? Or 2016? Or 2000? Or 1980?

Valid arguments could be made for each, or none.

not overcome the bigotry, selfishness, and ignorance of the voters who put Trump in the WH and gave Republicans control of Congress.
