I don't scream much. It's not productive. If you listen carefully, there is almost always a solution waiting to be found. Maybe we need more people in congress who *don't* get caught up in their team and are instead focused on improving our society collaboratively?

What I've found is whether your hat is MAGA, pussy, tin foil or you don't like hats, we all want mostly the same things. We want to be safe, happy, & healthy; to live our lives freely how we see fit with minimal government direction, & to have compassion with an eye to budget.

Exactly however what ever laws you pass should not cost people money or put people in hardship

There will always be winners and losers with any legislation. The goal should be incremental improvements, conscious of impacts and particularly aware of the vulnerable.

For example, we're doing a real disservice to healthcare right now. There are pain points that both major parties agree on. I'm going to focus on the GOP because they are in the driver's seat. I had some pretty brutal opinions on the dems previously.

Actively undermining the ACA (which is deeply flawed legislation) to cause its failure is a bad policy choice. It costs everyone more to do that. So does ignoring CHIP if we're playing whack-a-mole. We should be looking at the pain points.

I wish we had health insurance that existed pre-ACA, BUT that health insurance would not exist today if the ACA had not gone in. The market changed. Those plans were going away anyway. The system we have today is ACA, debating years old legislation is wasted energy.

Absent a DeLorean, we start with what we have now as a baseline. How do we make it better? What finds the efficienies and cuts waste while remaining humane? There is a lot we can do, and we should look at the whole system.

For example, let's take some of the $ we spend using jails for treatment and move it into a medical setting where those $ can be used more efficiently.
