One candidate cares and is forward thinking while the other cares about tax breaks for those that don’t need em and how he’s gonna stay out of jail. How is this election neck n neck?

Died a few years ago. He was having issues with his insurance company and we suspect that he was rationing his insulin.

During the 2020 presidential campaign, I was phone banking in Michigan. I spoke to a woman in the Detroit area who was an immigrant from France and a diabetic. She went across the border to buy it in Canada because she couldn't afford it in the US. Because of the pandemic, she couldn't do that at the time and only had a supply to last until November. I have often wondered about her since that call.
