“If Republicans want to join us in lowering costs for working families, they have the chance to do so. And if they do not come to the table, they will own the premium increases they cause."
What a load of shit. Fat good it does to people who can’t afford healthcare who “owns” their misery: they’ll be the ones who are miserable, while the “owners” sit on their piles of cash and play politicians for a living…
Democrats aren’t even capitalizing on it. Unless it’s hidden in the ads I’m blocking, I’m not seeing anything to show people that it’s Republicans behind it all. But I can point to a dozen locations that (re)print Trump’s unhinged rants on the subject.
Who owns those channels again?
Are you doing this because you believe it matters or just to get your frustration out?
Contacting your senator is, in fact, a good thing to do. Everyone here (not including those non-registered, non-Americans who like talking about the American politics contact sports) should be doing it. Most probably are not.
Calling is better, but anything is something.
They were all chosen to fall on the sword because they’re not up for re-election in 2026
Well, 7 democrats and John Fetterman…
6 democrats, John Fetterman, and one steaming pile of Durbin.
If evil space aliens from mars came to earth and demanded we hand over John Fetterman or else, would there be any pushback to the aliens at all?
John Fetterman belongs in a mental institution. His noggin is broken - which makes him more akin to a Republican than to a normal functioning adult.
I’d try to negotiate. You never know; they might be willing to take Trump, Vance, every single one of Trump’s cabinet members, every Republican senator, representative, and governor… and maybe if they’re exceptionally ruthless negotiators, like 85% of all elected Democrats to boot.
They have a cave troll.
Vote them out. End their careers, every last one of them.
A lot of them aren’t up for reelection before the goldfish populace forgets about this entirely.
So we remind them. Preferably by fielding candidates that will actually fight for us, and aren’t afraid to point that fact out. Loudly.
Building up a real base of support takes time. As in, 4-5 years worth of time. Might as well get started while people are pissed.
Um… at this rate in 4-5 years America will be a fascist hellscape. There is no 4-5 years.
The best time to plant a tree…
Organizing is organizing. If you have enough people in your corner to win an election, you have enough people to blow up a bridge.
Or has everyone forgotten why we hold elections in the first place? Voting is a proxy for fighting. If they won’t hold a fair election, make them. Remind the oligarchs why we have elections in the first place.
