Can My Voice Rise Above the Noise?

Dear Every Democratic Candidate Running for Office: Please hear me. I often feel like a tiny little Who, in Whoville, screaming to be heard by Horton. Where are the Hortons of the party? Please find them so this rant can be heard. First, I am sick and tired of certain Democratic candidates taking a moderate approach to policy in hopes of not pissing off too many people. I call bullshit. Pick a fucking lane. Realize that “you can please some of the people all of the time, you can please all of the people some of the time, but you can’t please all of the people all of the time.” Who cares about our Health? What does that mean for the prospective nominees? It means quit driving in the middle of the road and start developing policies that address the political ideology of most Americans. Let’s start with a single payer universal healthcare plan. Make it the job of the government to provide its citizens with quality, affordable healthcare. This can be accomplished a couple of different ways, one that I would like to suggest expands Medicare to cover anyone 50 or older. States will expand their children healthcare plans to cover kids until they are 21 years of age, leaving individuals 22-49 to buy plans off an exchange, with one of the plans being a Medicare buy-in option. Aren't we putting enough money for Renewable Energy? Secondly, let’s get real when it comes to the catastrophic way fossil fuels are killing the planet. We, as human beings, need a place to live. Maybe Trump and Pence are moving to the moon, but I am a little Who, remember? I don’t think that is an option for me, so I will go with the option that results in us not fucking up our home in the name of the petro-dollar. Move on, man! Coal – DEAD. Oil – Dying. Fracking- Stupid! The United States can take a backseat to China and bury our heads in the Saudi sands, or we can develop a long-term, comprehensive strategy to bolster our economy by investing heavily in renewable energies. Let’s tell climate change naysayers to go fuck themselves and cast them aside. I implore the Democratic presidential candidates to promote progressive policies and quit being the party of pussy politicians. So here it is, all laid out, no hidden meanings and no reading between the lines. I am sick and fucking tired of being lied to. I want healthcare. I want my elected officials, ALL OF THEM, to be subjected to the same laws and regulations that I am. I want corporate whores to stop selling out America for a fist full of dough. STOP IT!!!!! If you don’t, I fear somewhere, somehow, history will repeat itself, and not in a good way, like the fall of the Roman Empire bad. So let the rants of the 2020 general election begin, but know, while this rant is in some ways satirical, it does point out some very legitimate concerns that I, as an American citizen, have, and which I expect you, as an American leader, to address. Sincerely, Jane No Dough
