Do you have any long-term memory?
Look in the mirror: you are the corrupt one.
- lazyeye 1y agoWeird comment? Why am I the corrupt one? I think there is a deep institutional corruption that exists across the food and health bureacracies. and it persists regardless of who is in power. And no doubt there are many Democrats too who benefit from the status quo. I dont think Michelle Obama absolves them of their sins.
- aredox 1y agoIt was the Republicans who kneecapped Michelle Obama's initiative. Not the Democrats. Stop trying to bothside this. And "who is in power" is decided by your vote. You could vote anytime against those Republicans who voted again and again against health because it was too "socialist". Now you have a health secretary who is happy that the sugar in Coca-Cola is another type of sugar.
