Hurricane Maria Deaths Now 4,000, Where's Donnie?

Recently, a Harvard study found that when Hurricane Maria ruined Puerto Rico last year, over 4000 people died. CBS also found that 2.975 people died in that hurricane. Huge margin of error, I know. But that's still a lot.

CBS also didn't cover this once on there television program. Instead they were to busy talking about how Donald was not nice enough towards McCain. Donnie didn't address this either. He was to busy doing rallies talking about how Democrats want to "raid Medicare to pay for socialism". Whatever that means. 

Puerto Rico is currently in an awful state. Reports have found them without power, clean water, healthcare, and much more. They are also left with nothing in case another hurricane rips through with hurricane season starting up. 

But let's just talk about the deaths. Here are the deaths caused by other major natural disasters:

Hurricane Andrew: 65

Hurricane Sandy: 285

Hurricane Katrina: 1,833 (And let's not forget, Bush's infamous non-response to Katrina caused his approval ratings to reach the lowest point any president had got at that point in US history)

All 3 of these events combined do not even reach the total the smallest current estimate claims died in this natural disaster. This is easily a failure on the part of the federal government.

If Democrats Want To Win They Should Listen To People Who Actually Want To Help Them

I should start this column by making one thing very clear: I am a Democrat. I have been a Democrat my entire political life. I want Democrats to win elections, take back the government, and implement good ideas. Therefore listening to someone like me makes sense. I want to fix the party and have them win more than anything because if Democrats win I win.

However, as a loyal Democrat, I must say that I don't trust Republicans. That should be obvious, but Democrats don't seem to agree with me. Considering they seem to be scared of people like "socialist" Alexandra Ocasio Cortez or "comrade" Bernie Sanders. Despite the fact basically, no communists actually support Sanders or Cortez. 

Now allow me to give you a hypothetical. Imagine if I wrote in 2010 a column called "I Ain't Entirely Sure About This Tea Party Thing". After the 2010 midterms, when due to the Tea Party Republicans won 63 House seats and 6 Senate seats, I would have looked ridiculous. OR I would have done this on purpose because I don't want Republicans to win. 

This is why I think CBS published a column comparing Cortez to Sarah Palin. This was written by Micheal Graham. A radio host who is a self-described conservative. Who wants to bet he voted for Palin?

Look, maybe we shouldn't go towards the populist left wing. However, the person who tells us that shouldn't be a conservative. It should be us, fellow Democrats. I don't think that's too much to ask for.
