Pure bullshit on Hogg. Now muting, because your kind of insidious nonsense is *why* progressive messaging gets muted. Because your selfish, manufactured outrage means more to you than progress.
This is so riddled with BS throughout, it is not even worth more time. And your use of too many buzzwords gives away the game.
This is absolute nonsense, and selective, as hell. AOC was not selected by her colleagues, including plenty of progressives. Yet all still Dems. Hogg chose to leave despite the amazing Kenyatta, in exactly the same situation, sticking around and doing the work. You will not change history here.
Sure! But, I would posit they work on stickers and signs. If making an argument against data and facts, simply saying it over and over would be odd, no? 🍸
Wait, what? They have literally supported hundreds of Dem candidates. And we just came off a Dem president after beating Trump before. This is simply a stupid statement. If this is all about one mayoral candidate, then you are simply bananas.
LOL. I think my hands are now permanently stained from the last round of postcards for various VA races.
Great suggestions!🍸
Ok. Since when does the DNC support mayoral candidates? The post said they supported Cuomo. What does that mean? When is the DNC “supporting” mayoral candidates?
Wait, what? Since when does the DNC endorse *any* mayoral candidates? What are you even talking about?
🍸
It is absolutely bananas.
I hadn’t really focused there yet, but Lord knows Bernie wading in is not a compelling way to build my interest.🤣🤣
I am asking again for you to point to a country with what you think is closest to a successful similar looking M4All, because now I am even more baffled by your argument. You can choose to do that, or not, no worries.🍸
I don’t think I said it is necessary, I simply think it is a better fit for us based on our size, existing politics, the success in many countries, etc. I named preferred plans elsewhere in the thread. The greed puts them on the streets makes no sense in context. In universal, everyone is covered.
@lasuiter.bsky.social Woohoo!
LOL! I am objectively incorrect about a large group of the most successful countries for healthcare across the world? What the hell are you even talking about? Not even bothering with mute. Just blocking for willful ignorance.🤣
Muting anyway, because you are talking in regurgitated bumper stickers, not actual compelling points. Good luck!
What? Which part is propaganda? It is straight fact. You can not like those facts and want to change them, but they are what they are.
So, what are you cooking up for dinner?😇
I agree. And I have been fighting for universal for decades. But, too many people seem unaware that m4All is *one* option under a larger umbrella. Personally, I thought some of the early CAP plans & DeLauro’s & Schakowsky’s Medicare for America were easier sells. But, discussions should be had.🍸
I truly don’t understand your question. Can you point me to a country using what you think is most like M4All?
In defense of M4All, it is not exactly actual Medicare for all as we think of our current Medicare. Parts are much more similar to Medicaid, so the entire pay system is different.
From what I understand, CA can’t implement anything similar right away because of the way the California Constitution is written with budget issues between education and healthcare outlays. Hybrid can include severe restrictions on private costs which allows coverage but with competitive limits.
LOL! Ok. You are literally now dismissing the idea of even talking about solutions. Good luck with that. And, bye, I have no tolerance for that kind of bullshit.🍸
I know exactly what I am saying. We need serious talks from serious people to work through existing issues. Other Reps have come up with some pretty clever hybrid solutions. Simply spouting M4All over and over by certain factions is simply not going to work.
What on earth are you talking about? I was referring to the most successful systems around the world. None of which use M4All, many of which use a hybrid system. Get as snotty as you like, but at least try to follow along. Thanks.
You’re dismissing most successful healthcare systems for one never proven to work which still has longer ramp up times, a not established funding mechanism and myriad other issues without even addressing my key issue. I find that not in good faith and why it continues to be stymied. Best of luck.🍸
I absolutely agree on the Connolly issue. I saw him out there at rallies, doing interviews, presiding over hearings, in other words doing his job, until almost the very end. One of the most effective legislators in my lifetime.❤️
I really enjoy your work, but I found this to be pretty online opinion driven, not based on facts/actions. Also, without looking it up, who were the Congressional minority leaders during Civil Rights? Suffrage? The Labor movement? Stonewall? Most major movements are not led by pols. Just a thought.🍸
After fighting for universal for more than three decades, I am not convinced M4All is best. Even Canada still relies almost 30% on private options, and Bernie’s plan, as an example, outlaws duplicate coverage. M4All has never had the overwhelming support needed once people are given the specifics.
Don Beyer from NoVa.❤️
Thank you for this. It’s been infuriating to argue against false narratives. Hell, even my not quite as online Rep has been doing constant tele-town halls & organizing incredible events with job assistance fairs for fired fed workers, healthcare outreach, food help, etc. All of these things matter.🍸
Universal healthcare, yes. Hybrid systems are especially successful. M4All, nope. And the purity from some factions is going to stymie the process even when Dems win back Congress and the WH.
I find the entirely bad habit of certain factions, online people/pundits, etc. to call for *anyone* to be POTUS based on clapback, a few great speeches or even rallies to be pretty ridiculous. Particularly for pols with little to no legislative successes and before we hit midterms.🍸🍸
I can’t stop laughing at this. Just perfect.🍸🍸
I love this reference so much.🍸🍸
Good God. Hate them all you want, but Schumer called for this more than 24 hours ago. Ten seconds of research.
🍸
Ok, crab cake. Unrelated, I really like Glasnow. Is there a Kershaw like revelation you need to warn me about?
Mine, although a hope, is more based on the hand bruising rather than simply the revoltingly gross man. After years of IVs and infusions, I am pretty focused on arm and hand bruising levels. Hey, we all have our specialties, lol.
That is one I would not put money on.
I believe it is kept right next to the giant water faucet Trump thinks CA has.😇
I think quite a few GOPers think they can get away with the crap Trump pulls and says. But, while the press almost always ends up normalizing and giving Trump a free pass, they try to show their “objectivity” by *occasionally* calling out random GOPers.
Or, in fact PR as a whole. It is such an odd outrage.
To their face? What does that mean? What of the politicians/candidates you *do* support are calling their colleagues Nazis to their “face”? So, you are looking for optics over actions. You want clapback? Good God on the bread and circuses nonsense. As for calling them liars, a five second search.
I truly wish I believed that. I do. I am sure it happens, but some of the worst things I have seen said are from extremely online pundits and people I know are real.
I said exactly none of that, lol. Must be a great conversation in your head. Enjoy that! Good God, are some of you self-righteous with *nothing* to back up your made up narrative. Best of luck!🍸
What an ignorant post, lol. Even you had to cover by following it up with Dems didn’t win, Trump lost. 🤣🤣
Ah, so he is both doing nothing and working too hard at it. At some point perhaps some might realize that no matter what he says or does certain factions will still whine about him. Gee, I wonder why.
Damn it all. After all of that, you *do* almost have decades on me.🍸🍸🍸
What? No, lol. I worked on Mikvah’s *congressional* campaign.
❤️🍸❤️ www.nytimes.com/2016/07/06/u...
My hot take for the night: blaming Merrick Garland in post after post for hours every day is a ridiculous waste of time and a self-soothing exercise in futility. Particularly by anyone who did not give full-throated support and effort for MVP and refuses to hold *voters* accountable.🍸🍸
So much of this is bullshit word salad while trying to be edgy, not worth the time. Good luck with that.🤣🤣
Did not say *you* didn’t. Read it again. Decades before I was born? Doubtful. And, yes, along with my first march in the stroller, first campaign as a young kid (Go Mikva, lol,), working on the Hill for well over a decade, campaigns, marches, Head start grants, and *many* strongly worded letters?🍸🍸
Absolute fact on McMahon missing that, I could not disagree more on level of importance. If you in anyway believe a mayor affects more of your life than POTUS, I am not sure what to say.🍸
Good Lord. I absolutely love NYC. I am a Broadway addict. I am a diehard Yankee fan (watching them now). I lived there for years, went to Columbia (ouch), etc. But, it is a mayoral race. Literally a race for a mayor of one city. People have lost their damned minds.🍸🍸
LOL! This is exactly the plan mentioned by multiple Bernie supporters in 2016. You know that, right? Meanwhile, in 2018 Pelosi led Dems to flipping 40 House seats red to blue. AOC’s group and Bernie’s flipped zero. None. Also check 2022 midterms. Dems you are snarking at *do the work*.
For my grandpa’s shiva, I made a big bowl of jello, knowing no one would eat it and it stuck out like a sore thumb. He loved it and it felt right.❤️❤️
He has given speech after speech. Constant interviews. Press conferences. Held the caucus together to vote as a group. What specifically are you asking for?
Do you even follow anything he does?
If I am remembering correctly, zero Dems and, oddly, McConnell voted against him. Right?
This is simply silly. If a vote for an ambassadorship, no matter how bad, affects your opinion that deeply amidst the absolute dangers currently facing us, you are simply an unserious person. Just bananas.
I don’t think they are the answer, but they can sure slow some bleeding. And I remain baffled by those who think one *mayoral* race is world changing while ignoring the possibility of flipping the entire House.
What a perfect quote.🤣🤣
What is awful about this piece is both the almost fawning tone in parts, and the idea that anyone thinks the Zelensky anecdote showed transparency while it is clear it was a blow-up Trump wanted people to see while meetings or even readouts for Putin are never shared. The press has been played.
I guess I don’t get how this is different than hiring PR agencies, spokespeople, people giving speeches to private or public gatherings, etc. Pretty sure groups like Our Revolution are still dark money.😇
That was my first reaction, yet the reporters I heard were pretty remarkable with the kids. And while it still seems wrong, if they have to live through it, their voices and experiences should be shared without editing. The “adults” should have done a lot more much earlier.
I didn’t even see it. I heard it on the radio, and it broke my heart. What have we done to our kids?
I could not possibly love this more. Perfect song choice.🍸🍸🍸
I like the pumpkin looking one.
I have never been to one, but the number of businesses, press outlets, GOP pols & voters, courts, etc. giving in is stunning in its breadth. Especially when you really drill down on the small number of true believers. I remain impressed with large groups of foreign leaders & the foreign press.🍸
I feel like we need a whole new term for behavior beyond cringeworthy embarassment and combined with pure terror at these people in charge of *anything*, much less our country.
LOL! What do you think is the primary job of the DNC? Seriously, what? You don’t want fighters or solutions. You just want to be outraged. Your kind of insidious bullshit bores me. Good luck!🍸
Yep! "We cannot be the only party that plays by the rules anymore. We've got to stand up and fight. We're not going to have a hand tied behind our back anymore. Let's grow a damn spine and get in this fight Democrats!" Right? Oh, sorry, that was from the *current* chair, Ken Martin, earlier today.😇
Yep. Yep. Yep.🍸
They have literally held hundreds of town halls in red districts not their own. The TX Dems. Press conferences, rallies, local events, billboards, ads, interviews, etc. Hell, Schumer just toured through multiple counties in NY on a “How Trump Screwed You” tour. What specifically are you asking for?
I dislike the press for many reasons, but this thread is a perfect example of why the press covers the Dems the way it does. With everything going on, the bulk of the posters *still* bitch and whine about other Dems rather than focusing on what the GOP is doing. Why *wouldn’t* the press cover it?
It is frightening that he says this things, but it is even more terrifying that he has an Admin that will then do these things and certain courts which will then affirm these things. And, even worse, followers who will vote for all of this.
I love those books so much. I liked the show, but I think it missed some of the pure charm of the books.
So, he hasn’t been silent or MIA. Do you not see just how transparent you are? Gee, what has he *not* been commenting on every day that a certain faction has decided is a litmus test. Could it be a *mayoral* race? I am done. The insidious changing of history, particularly for Jeffries, is revolting.
Easy block. This is outright lying now. Pelosi basically created a new rule book on how to be Speaker.
LOL! Your post literally referenced a “few months”. I just gave you examples from multiple months. Now, two months is too long ago. I get it. You want to be mad at him for obvious reasons. But lying does not help. There are many more examples from just the last two weeks. But you just want to rage.
Not even close. Why are you playing this bullshit game?
They have been neither. This is pure, insidious bullshit and transparent as hell.
Of course it is weird. And a lot of it is plainly illegal. How is that even a question. Good God. Think before you post.🤣🤣
This is a completely weird post. Why would Jeffries be dictating plans to states and Governors?
I literally cackled.🍸
Well, I can give you half of that, as I am not a big screenshot person. But, I engage way too much with them because it soothes my judgy, crabby, righteous leanings.🤣🤣
He is also just wrapping up a tour of counties throughout NY called something like “How Trump Screwed You.” For various reasons, I am not his biggest fan, but certainly not for the reasons he is being attacked.🤣🤣🤣
I think my question was unclear. What *Dems* solely relied upon or cited him and his always terrible polling? I agree, he is awful, and always has been. I am curious about who *you* are referring to.🍸
I am out of patience with pundits & very online people shitting on Dems for their own transparent agendas. That’s second only to my annoyance with many of same ones who want every pol who has a good speech, clapback or even decent action being elevated to 2028 POTUS. Just stop. Midterms first.🍸
Considering the t-shirt I am currently wearing is literally older than many of the people who are pissing me off, not a bad idea!🤣🤣
It is starting to really piss me off.
Who specifically are you referring to?
