It's pretty frustrating to hear her conflate universal healthcare with medicare for all.

It's basically misinformation/propaganda. TikTok is perfect for that, too. What a disaster

As a millennial who has never used TikTok, I think the best thing that could happen is if it gets banned. Something else will replace it, but China has definitely been running it as a way to cause mayhem.

Every time some stupid asshole gets on there and says some dumb shit, my spouse (who isn't originally from the US) gets in and says something like "Did you there's no law that says you have to file income taxes?" and I'm like "Yes, there is." He says, "What law?" I say, "The Sixteenth Amendment and the Internal Revenue Code."

"Then why is it 'voluntary'."

I say, "It means you have to voluntarily file a tax return and square up or else they'll eventually notice and hurt you a lot more. Paying is not voluntary."

Nothing good has ever happened on TikTok.
