  • Budget reconciliation is the bill of sale, the funding measure is the credit card. They need 60 votes to get the credit card to pay the bill. This is the only negotiation tactic the dems have in their possession. That’s why they are making their bones on the ACA funding. Tens of millions of Americans rely upon those subsidies to afford health insurance. The dems just have to make sure that the people know what’s at stake. A job they are notoriously bad at.










  • I’d vote for Pritzker over Newsome, but I’d rather AoC

    Yes well I would personally love to see AOC become president as well. But I live in the real world where there is a definite bias within the Democratic party against strong leftists like her and Bernie Sanders. I mean just look at the mayoral election in New York City. Even if Mamdani wins, it won’t change the attitude of the party elites. They will just double down on trying to quash anymore leftist inroads into the party. That particular change needs to happen from the ground up, as in we the people need to push them as hard as possible to the left. And try to get them to drop the neoliberal philosophy that is dominated the Democratic party for the last 40 years. That why the NYC election is important. Him winning will help other leftists to galvanize left leaning people across rhe country to challenge the DNC elites and thats where we can really affect change, by supporting those candidates the way Mamdani was supported by voters in NYC.

    or even better Luigi

    I’m pretty certain this is said for shock value. But if i were to directly address it, this is just insane talk. No matter what I think about healthcare executives and what they might or might not deserve. Luigi Mangione is a disturbed individual who needs serious psychiatric help. Murder is not ok.



  • She’s not actually. I don’t think she’s that stupid as to think she’d be able to overcome the bias of the democratic party establishment in just 2 years. What’s she and Bernie are trying to do is galvanize the apathetic left into standing up and fighting rather than just sitting on social media and complaining about how everything sucks. What is needed is huge numbers of people to come out and vote like their lives depend on it (cause they do).


  • “Capitalism has raised more people out of poverty than any other system in the history of the world. Create more innovation. Socialism has failed everywhere,” Suozzi said in the interview, which he even posted to his social media accounts.

    Oh? Like social security, medicare, medicaid, public schooling, and stimulus packages? All socialist policies that make America work. But no, it must be the billionaires and billion dollar corporations.

    This country would have broken before World War 1 if not for socialist policies that were enacted to save it from total collapse. And here we are at the precipice once again and this fuckweed is calling for everyone to abandon their parachute and commit a trust fall with the greediest most insubstantial people to have ever existed. AKA capitalists
