"I have to give up my freedom of speech, give up my constitutional rights"
No. If you have a specific example of this then let me know.
"pay way more taxes so my hard earned dollars can be given away to people all over the world for free"
Proposed taxes are only rising on corporations and those earning over $400K a year. This is after Trump cut taxes adding trillions to the deficit. Foreign aid is not increasing.
"Criminals are being let out of prison just because."
The US has more people in prison per capita than any other country on the planet. We have WAY too many prisoners right now, and all it does it allow slavery and keep people poor without any real effort for reform. We need to modify the criminal justice system to promote reform and increase both education and opportunities for those in prison. Pay them fair wages for work done. Allow them to reenter the work force more easily. Finding a job as an ex-con is almost impossible, and those with any sort of education are snubbed for jobs they are qualified for.
"People are beating each other on the streets."
When riot police are called for peaceful protests, protest stop being peaceful. Why are you surprised? Especially when these protests started under Trump, and Jan 6th was a literal attack on our democratic seat of government from Republicans.
"My right my body doesn't apply to the covid shot which I'm not getting."
Nobody is forcing the covid vaccine on you, but not getting it makes you an idiot and endangers not just yourself, but those around you as well.
So if you want to pass on anything, pass on radical right-wingers supporting people being murdered by cops and protesting and rioting over election results. Get annoyed about the corporate tax breaks being permanent while ours run out after 10 years. Get angry over Trump running up the deficit with nothing to show for it, spending extra to artificially inflate the market with no structure and causing a massive crash at the first black swan event. While you're at it get annoyed over poor FEMA hurricane relief efforts under covid, Trump telling people the virus will go away in weeks, the hundreds of thousands of dead Americans and the recession Trump allowed to happen. Get annoyed over Republicans voting against benefits for people out of work, against stimulus to get the country back on it's feet and against infrastructure plans that would generate millions of jobs and push the US into future technologies and self sufficiency. We need to be outraged over our money being spent on stupid wars and massive increases in drone strike numbers, not national investment that actually makes a difference. Where is the outrage at the people at the top INCREASING their net worth during the pandemic, leaching funds off those struggling at the bottom in their time of need? Where is the anger over the hundreds of bills passed to make voting harder in Republican states over a fear of losing another election? Why are the Republican minority so against farness and equal voting, and all for corporate greed and those at the bottom getting left behind?

@Gitbizy You don't know what a carpetbagger is do you.
He volunteered at Big Brothers Big Sisters while he was in college. He then started working at AmeriCorps, whos entire mission is to improve lives, strengthen communities and foster civic engagement. He was teaching people getting them their GEDs. Worked for a couple of years in risk management, and also got a masters degree from Harvard in public policy. He finished that and went back to Americorp, where he spend 5 years helping kids in Braddock, during which time he moved there. Soon after he became Mayor of Braddock, a town so poor that their Mayoral position only paid $150 a month. For 13 years he worked to improve the town, a town massive hit by the end of US steel, a town that shrank more than Detroit which now cannot maintain its massive scale with so few residents. While there he was fulltime director of the local youth program, and founded a nonprofit that could purchase properties in the area and stop them falling into disrepair. As Lt. Governor he travelled the state through every single county where he answered questions and polled public opinions. He supported LGBT rights, pushed for a higher minimum wage and encouraged marijuana legalization. He was also the chair of the state Board of Pardons, and recommended 32 people for pardons in that time. He also helped fund inmate pardon application fees and expedited pardons for non-violent marijuana-related offenses. He also pushed to have the pardon process changed to a simple majority rather than a unanimous vote.
So who are we voting for? The local charity worker with a masters degree from Harvard who has worked in government positions for over 15 years, or the carpetbagging snake oil salesman?
