The enhanced subsidies for people who buy their health insurance through exchanges established by the Affordable Care Act have officially expired, and Democratic lawmakers are ready to make sure voters know whom to blame going into the midterm elections.

Politico reported Friday that while Democrats in Congress are still pushing their Republican colleagues to allow a vote on renewing the enhanced subsidies, they have mostly settled on a political strategy of going scorched-earth on the GOP for letting them expire in the first place.

Rep. Ami Bera (D-Calif.) told Politico that Americans who see their monthly premiums skyrocket in the wake of the subsidies’ expiration will take out their anger on the GOP.

    Their messaging is usually terrible and so off-putting to so many of the low-info and the normies.

    Watch for the Dems to step on some stupid rake like bathroom bills, men in women’s sports, BLM, “antifa”, defund the police, etc. it almost seems inevitable that even when the most obvious narrative is right there for them to set up the framing, they let the fucking corporate media and the fascists do all the framing.
