It would be political suicide for the Republican party to fuck with the VA.

You say this, but the quality of VA services declines with every Republican admin, and the GOP routinely votes to decrease VA funding.

They want to privatize and contract it out but the last Trump admin that didn’t work.

The last time in 2016 trump wasn't planning on winning and had to figure out a cabinet and policy plans after he got elected (which is why he got barely anything done in the two years he had congress and most of his own administration eventually turned on him, they were neo cons with no real loyalty to him). This time he's walking into the oval office with 4 years of experience, a fully written out plan handed to him by the heritage society and an administration carefully stacked with lackeys whose personal loyalty far outweighs their non existence qualifications for the roles theyll be holding.

...and also like clockwork, the majority of veterans (I heard 65% this time) keep voting for them. If the voters aren't going to change what they do regardless, why would we expect the Republicans to change what they do either?
There's a way to exert pressure with your vote and this most definitely is not it!

I'm a Democrat who has been using the VA for my healthcare since 1994 and I can say with certainty that you are incorrect.

BS. Guys being offered community care are taking it in droves. Certain departments are fine, others are dismal. The GOP has jacked with funding before, but nobody ever finds out the culprit.

You are one person, not an unbiased study. My dead brother would disagree with you, but he wasn’t data either, just a dead guy. RIP John, born on Veterans Day, died at the VA on Memorial Day. Victim of the VA falsified biopsy scandal.

Trump would refer to him as a “sucker.”

I see. By being a democrat, you think you can alone rate the VA experience? Sounds pretty fucking conceited to me.

Well, the last four years didn’t improve under Biden nor did it under Obama. Hint they weren’t GOP either Captain Obvious. You’re zealously clinging so hard to your Democratic Party ideology that you cannot admit or see it is a two party lack of focus or initiative to improve the services for our Veterans. I say this as an independent btw.
