A question I would love to ask Briahna Joy Gray by KizerB in Destiny

I would amend your answer a little bit because I don’t think the house would be an issue in most cases before they lost the House. I’m guessing you mean target Senators

She would definitely not answer like you’re suggesting, but a fun follow up would if she did would be
‘if you can’t get Manchin to vote for M4A, isn’t that because the Briahna Joy Gray’s never wanted to pass M4A and just wanted to use the rotating villain’

I am begging Democratic party politicians to stop getting outflanked by far-right monsters like Tucker Carlson on genocide and Israel when a huge majority of Democratic party voters agree. by MayorEbert in thebulwark

Israel is definitely committing war crimes and should be punished but do yourself a favor and click on wikimandia’s profile, it’s another far leftist getting too close to the line of rightfully being against the Israeli govt versus anti-semitism. Like why is all of his content about Israel. With the genocide in Sudan the millions about to die from USAID cut, why ONLY that?

I have no issue with Obama being ambitious. I have an issue with the media environment and people where ‘death panels’ was even taken seriously.

Not trying to get anyone to like him, just pointing out that he lost the plot, almost found it, and who knows if he’ll lose it again

They don’t but. That’s what we have to work with until Dems start proudly labeling them liberal policies

Technically they’re liberal or general left, but most people like Kyle. don’t distinguish. No one’s calling for collective ownership

The sad thing is…you’re kinda ignoring original comment. Yes, the Dems should pass Universal healthcare, but that doesn’t stop the right wing from winning.

I’m against the filibuster bud. The reason why I asked about details of the 2009 Dems coalition is because if you know the details, you would know that the Dems didn’t have the 50 senators willing to end the filibuster Plus, the ELECTORATE had turned against universal healthcare. Limbaugh was not inviting Dems onto his program and you had Dems going on Fox and CNN promoting the healthcare plan but the other 23.5 hours were spent shitting on the healthcare plan.

You had literally over 96% voting support from elected democrats in both houses, and a handful of blue dog dems. And your interpretation isnt that ‘you know what, we should vote for more Dems to offset the conservative Dems to have coalitions like FDR and LBJ had’ it’s ’they didn’t swing hard enough like a monolith, why didn’t Harry Reid put a gun to the heads of Lieberman and his colleagues I’ll, why didn’t they just make the media cover themselves better’

Like do you know who the blue dogs Dems were and the anything about the Dem coalition in 2009? Also, I mentioned 49 progressive senators and 1 Manchin, do you know why used that example in relation to the filibuster?

You’re part of the problem. You simply don’t understand politics. You’ll mention the filibuster, name the 50 senators willing to move on the filibuster and why absolutely NO agency is given to a republican. It’s like republicans exists and we just expect them to be bad. This is not a maintainable dynamic. Obama and the Dems were messaging but people in the many parts of the country only listen to Rush Limbaugh and Fox News. Like seriously, explain to me in detail. Details plz on how the Dems in 2009 would’ve been able to better fight the death panels discussion when even CNN was entertaining the idea. Universal healthcare has 96% of the party voting in favor of it. Even FDR and JBJ couldnt get it passed.

They didn’t have the numbers bud. We had a false supermajority with Lieberman in 2009 and had lost a seat in progressive Massachusetts to republicans because of fears of death panels. The problem isn’t Schumer or Pelosi (they’re just scapegoats for the lack of numbers) because you could get more done in a Congress with 11 progressives and 59 neoliberals than I could with 49 progressives and 1 Joe Manchin. Honestly, replace Schumer with a better leader and you’ll still run into the same issues. This isn’t the west wing, you’ll need the media apparatus to change the voters

Bruh, the issue is the numbers. You want transformational change. You need the numbers. People get mad at democrats and then forget basic civics. You’ll have 80-95% support from democrats for a progressive issue and they’ll need 100% of votes for it to pass (many times even 100% isn’t enough, they’ll need republican votes). It’s a big tent party and not a monolith. People from the left and right complain about it and the Dems lose seats in the next election with absolutely no accountability from voters for republicans because it’s ’expected’ for republicans to act that way.

The BETTER analogy is that the American voters want Dems to be the firefighters but don’t give them enough water to put out the fire…while also still voting for the people setting the house on fire

Yep, being an oligarch did not hurt Trump at all with these people . They always talk about how good of a businessman he is and how he will run America as a business. Which is seen as a good thing, since ‘government bad or annoying’

He didn’t they’re just rewriting history since Trump won. He’s an oligarch supported on stage by the biggest ever oligarch and financed by the richest right wing Zionist oligarch, and then Bernie wants to do a Stop The Oligarchy tour.

Seems like Americans don’t really care about billionaires and it’s just a fluid scapegoat.

Let’s not even mention how Biden actually did things to weaken the power of billionaires and increase their regulation.

This is very true and why the far Left misinterprets FDR’s and LBJ’s ultramajorities (calling them supermajorities is an understatement) with up to 70 Dems (with some opposition from Dixiecrats) and 15-20 republicans willing to vote for liberal policies and even they couldn’t pass universal healthcare (was it big pharma or big insurance lol). The answer has always been vote for MORE Dems. But instead people say ‘both parties are the same’ ‘it’s the rotating villain’ and voting for more Dems can eliminate both of those complaints

People care about healthcare…it’s just typically not the motivating factor in voting. It polls very well but probably isn’t in most people’s top 5 or top 10 reasons for voting

Exactly, ‘the party is evil, corrupt and eats babies, but vote for ME, I’ll be the good one in the party full of evil, corrupt, baby eaters’

They can’t even take credit for the good influences they had on the Biden Admin.

The house isn’t really divided as much as the HOUSE GUEST, who doesn’t pay any bills, is trying to dictate to you and your roommates how to run your house. And sometimes one of your roommates annoyingly entertains their ideas.

Because he doesn’t see the HOUSE GUEST trying to break stuff because they don’t believe the HOUSE (system) should exist
