obviously a loaded question meant to corner them into condemning the president.
What if only 1000 died? Would that change the premise.
Okay its unacceptable. Democrats march down to the military recruiter because we need to go to war with china.

Dumb. If we didnt fight the terrorists the attacks would continue. And Iraq was its own problem but caused 9/11. (Cause =/= Complicity)

The media agenda is to highlight and maximize covid in a futile attempt to eliminate Trump. Basically if a covid positive person gets hit by a truck the cause of death will be the virus.

Protect yourself and your loved ones. The government won't do it for you. Even at the state and local level, reopening businesses has been prioritized over public health.

I'm just laughing at the Republican hypocrisy. They care about unborn children, but let that child be born, grow up and get older and they can't even pretend to want to keep that person alive.

I have a theory that our government is aware of a tsunami of Alzheimer's and dementia patients that is sure to come in the next twenty to thirty years as the baby boomers age. The U.S. is not at all prepared. There aren't enough nursing homes and certainly not enough healthcare workers to staff them. A pandemic comes along that mostly targets the weak and elderly. Why not pretend you're trying to do something when it reality you're doing nothing of value? Many of the elderly, especially those in nursing homes, will get sick and die - freeing up more space in the existing nursing homes. I know it sounds farfetched, but the other possibility is that the government is utterly incompetent. Which is it?

Yup. They’re doing everything possible to elevate the numbers. In my mother’s facility, five people got COVID - and all five were in their 80s and quite debilitated in general. Only one, though, was actively dying at the time she contracted the disease. She was the only one who died (perhaps her death was hastened by a couple of weeks), and the other four recovered.

How is canceling children's educations and shutting the country down acceptable? In what universe?

Shock poll, most Democrats say it is acceptable that Biden had more covid deaths despite having the vaccine.
