“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:
They’re not all retiring, the ones who aren’t just aren’t up for re-election next year, giving plenty of time for people to forget about it.
They’re all retiring at the end of their terms if they like it or not.
Just make sure we have a good candidate in the primary. And we need to actually support people who are better before their primaries.
I wish. Voters tend to blindly vote for the same people over and over.
Yeah. We need to fight that in a smart way.
You can’t just say all Dems are bad. You can’t just say all incumbents are bad. Term limits aren’t the answer, and probably wouldn’t help with most of these.
We need to get good candidates in primaries and support those candidates. Now is the time to be doing this. We need someone to step up for that seat, ideally this month, and we need to get behind them.
Ideally it’d be someone with enough history to show they’re not a Sinema.
The system is set up to make it incredibly difficult for a Bernie, AOC, or Mamdani to get into office. It’s always a small miracle when one manages to.
Well, that part of the system is fixed. There was a cost to that fix, so please make it worth it.
