Roe v. Wade overturned. Doctor fears fallout.

Biden, Trump, same old story.

Biden and Trump are two sides of the same corporate coin. Biden's poor performance at the debate reflects the establishment's fear of losing control. Trump's theatrics are a distraction. The real issue is the broken political system and an agenda that serves the rich. The media focuses on personalities, not policies, thrilling the public with drama, distracting from real issues. A functional debate requires an honest examination of policies and their impact, which neither candidate offers. Wake up, America! Focus on the issues, not the performance.
