“How absolutely pathetic,” declared the Justice Democrats, an advocacy group that focuses on assisting progressive challengers willing to take on more establishment lawmakers in office. “Your voters expect you to hold the line for their basic healthcare and food benefits. This is just surrender. Every Senate Democrat that joined Republicans to pass this sold the American people out and we should make sure they have no future in public office.”
“Let’s be clear — this proposal isn’t a compromise, it’s a capitulation,” said Rep. Jonathan L. Jackson (D-Ill.). “Millions [will] lose their health coverage, and millions more [will] face skyrocketing premiums. The Senate should reject this misguided plan. In the House, my vote will be HELL NO.”
The Democratic Party is dead and liberal centrism is an obstacle to progress, the DNC is not a bulwark against fascism it is a tacit and cowardly endorsement of it.
Democrats just condemned ~50,000 US citizens to death every year, let that sink in…
According to the report, premiums for Americans who buy their own health insurance will double on average next year, while 15 million people are expected to lose coverage as a result of the Republican budget. The report details how the cuts would substantially increase the number of uninsured Americans in every state in the country and double the uninsured rate in some states, including Massachusetts and Louisiana. A study from Yale University and the University of Pennsylvania estimates that the cuts could cause more than 50,000 unnecessary deaths every year.
The report includes dozens of firsthand accounts from Americans facing life-threatening consequences:
In this current political climate, we have MAGA and Republican popularity tanking and then for some reason, these bumfuck Dems are diving on that grenade for them.
MAYBE if YOU weren’t so Selfish you would Realize that RICH People were starting to be Effected so they HAD to Pass this and Reopen the Government!
This is exactly why they caved.
Democrats are primarily backed by big money donors. Their constituents are billionaires too, just a different set of billionaires than Republicans’ constituents.
There isn’t a party that represents the people, just two different factions of billionaires who are fighting over their share of control over the government.
I weep every night for those poor billionaires. Those corpos and their immense struggle. But as a lowly poor I could never understand the depth and wrought of their suffering.
Well, it wasn’t just billionaires. It was anyone trying to fly for the holidays.
I, for one, was willing to endure for healthcare. It was a fight that was worth it. It’s not Medicare for All, but it was something.
Props to using the actual verbiage of those who voted for this while wondering where their SNAP benefits went
They work for the same donors.
