percent. I was telling my best friend last night who is also a progressive of how this truly was the last nail in the coffin because now the democrats have nothing to offer me since I was relying on ACA. Now without it what can they sell me? Even fear tactics won't do it since I lost my job several months ago so what else can get worse for me. I know they will try with saying stuff like food prices will go up but my response to that is well I guess I rather starve to death that live in this society. Fear tactics is definitely not going to work for me now. I have already made peace with the possibility of death.

I'll never vote for a Republican but if the Democrats ever want my vote again I need to see them campaign on offering tangibles to me such as universal healthcare, and other economic benefits. I'm not voting out of fear anymore. I did that the last 3 presidential election cycles. I'm done with that.
