Huh… didn’t see that coming.

Americans are used by the Political Industrial Complex of both Political Parties, election cycle after election cycle, in order to elect whichever side can convince Americans to hate the other side more.

This includes you! You were one of the loudest cogs in the outrage machine.

I ran for Congress in 2020 and have fought every single day believing that Make America Great Again meant America First.

That was your first mistake of many.

“A House Member has to win three consecutive terms and serve at least five years,” the veteran and progressive activist added. “January 3rd marks her fifth year in Congress. She can't start collecting until she's 62, but that does qualify her for a pension. From what I can tell, that's about $15k annually in today's dollars.”

I wonder if that qualifies her for post-tenure healthcare too?
