They changed the text of my letter, but m in the paper talking abt the dangerous message abortion bans are sending, and the brain drain SC is facing now because of it: https://t.co/SJxuDxe8Qo
Some of my fav stupid things libs do to pretend our healthcare system is good:
-conflating universal insurance (Medicare for All or German Bismark system) with single payer
-omit that the US has a lower life expectancy, higher preventable mortality AND higher per cap spending
New Deal Liberals: “We quadrupled workers’ earnings, quintupled farm and small business income, brought electricity to tens of millions who never had it before, and built visible public works in every community in America.”
Today’s Liberals: “We passed a bill authorizing the government to spend hundreds of billions of dollars on climate change mitigation! (We have nothing to show for this money—hell, a lot of it wasn’t even spent—but still, you should give us credit for passing a bill.)”
@OrganizerMemes lmao Delaware housing market notoriously sucks it and everything costs so much for what it is. It could've been cheaper to have folks live in Maryland or Philly and take septa
“Abdul voting uncommitted in the primary somehow lost Dems the GE in MI and is why Trump is in power right now! That’s why you should instead vote for the MAGA Republican who supports literally every bad thing Trump has done!” Do you morons not hear yourselves here?
@AnnieAndrewsMD Explain in your own words why you think some people deserve 70x as much legislative representation as others…
or why it’s good to spend $1,500,000,000,000 on the military annually…
or why imprisoning families is sane and just…
…then you will see what unhinged sounds like.
@JoshuaParkhurst He helped gerrymander his own district to deny equal representation to his constituents, has endorsed sexual predators and has spent the last week praising notorious racist Lindsey Graham.... His endorsement sure means a lot but in a bad way
I called @RepJamesClyburn 's office today to ask why he voted to continue to support genocide. The staff said I should check the press section of his website. The last 3 press releases are statements about how great Lindsey Graham was. The jokes write themselves
I am saddened to learn of the passing of my former colleague, Senator Lindsey Graham. He was full of wit, energy, and charm, and he cared deeply about the Senate and the people of South Carolina. Doug and I are sending our thoughts and our prayers to his friends and loved ones.
Pretty revealing that what galvanized “centrist” Dems was losing to a couple DSA candidates not for example, losing to a bunch of corrupt fascists who want to end Democracy.
Again: the constant undercurrent of Jaime's tweets is that there is an "us" that the party's structure, resources and institutional power rightfully belong to. And that "us" is not the voters.
If you read Jaime's tweets you will realize how we got here. This guy doesn't even know how to build a coalition... he's only worried about "the brand" and dem power.
This is why Trump's fascism is breathing down our necks. The guy has no leadership and the minute fresh blood arrives to the coalition they want to call them "comrades" and why?
Because they want to give people healthcare and worker and tenant rights.
@kein_unfug@jackeryg He won the general election. You are moving the goal posts. (PS- harris did not win the general election so idk if that's ur gold standard)
@BenKrauss5 We still have state senators and reps who vote for abortion bans and bans on gender affirming care. The point is that these old farts don't represent us anymore and we need something new, rather than old white men who keep voting for legislation that's killing women
