My thing is that both sides refuse to work together because of some stupid tribalist bullshit. The fact that I had to fight as hard as I and other gay people did for the right to marry the man I love, not have to worry about my housing or employment and more because of the GOP constant homophobia says a lot.

There's a lot of good points that the GOP has, but the extreme over-abundance of hyper-religiousity is a major problem for me.

As far as war mongering, that is a problem on both sides of the aisle state and federal. Maybe you can help me understand the problem with free trade. As far as screwing working Americans, I'm seeing the Left trying to get minimum wage to a living wage, where it was always meant to be. Maybe not a comfortable living wage, but one where you could live with it. That's not a bad thing.

How were they left wing?

After hearing that an event I went to had a small Covid outbreak, I went to my local Convenient MD. There were a few people in the waiting area, but I walked in, carefully explained why I was there, so as not to worry everyone, and they didn't even tell me to take a seat. It was "come with us, set me into a room and got me tested, in and out.

I was positive, masked and kept my hands in my pockets when I could.

While I was quarantined, I developed pneumonia. I didn't know, was masked at work and was having a hard time breathing. They remembered who I was, brought me out back, and checked me out. Pneumonia sucks, but it was all very discreet so as not to cause a panic in the clinic.

This is more than like what you experienced from the side of the waiting room.

Cooking is easy. Cooking well? Not so much.

Being in the area, I haven't heard of this...can you explain?
