This madness will wane if you vote straight ticket Democrat. This is not the year to ticket split, or sit it out, or wish you had better choices, or vote 3rd party, or say you're not into politics, or whatever. We need EVERYONE‼️ (""WE NEVER WATCH THE NEWS 2026", graphite on paper, ©LaurieLipton)

The USA has no Universal Healthcare, but it does have 49 Billionaires who made their wealth from private healthcare. They also give lots & lots of money to the people who pass laws in their favor. Connect the dots: "PharmaSuitAbles 2025", 26"x38.4", charcoal & graphite on paper, ©LaurieLipton
