12. Yes it is against the law. But laws are not applied equally in our Just Us system.

It astounded me to actual see how corrupt our political system really is. While republicans are using the system both political parties have kept in place I think both are to blame. What good are laws and agencies to help Americans and keep safeguards in place if those things can be can be changed and overturned by the other side every 4 years? How many years did they chip away at the ACA with bipartisan help from some democrats to the point where it's really a shadow of what Obama gave us? Five fucking republicans were able to take away health care and control of their bodies from women with one fucking act.

I am not saying Democrats do that because they don't, but they don't stop these things when they can, they just won't change the rules like republicans do. Republicans will change the rules no matter how they have to do it. Republicans have no empathy, no decency and they would sooner see people die than help people in need, and Democrats seem to think that they can come to an agreement with the "gentleman from the other side of the aisle" . Bipartisanship if going to end us all. Leadership needs to put a stop to it.
