Vegan Socialist Vermonter. Come witness my decline in nihilism as I desperately try to cling onto any optimism about the world’s future. Uhhhhh he/him

@TheLeftTea I’m in.

Also happy belated birthday to all my fellow Pisces in the chat.

No one should go bankrupt.

[Nina Turner @ninaturner]

No one should go bankrupt because they are diagnosed with cancer.

We are going to finally end the greed and corruption of the giant health insurance corporations and finally pass #MedicareForAll

[Marianne Williamson @marwilliamson]

We need #Medicare4All, but we need more than that. We need a healthcare system that does as much to create wellness as to treat sickness.

@chriscilantro I always think of Kyle Kulinski. He is a social democrat, but there is no doubt his work and his show have moved many people left and even changed the minds of far right-wingers.

[Adam Ⓥ 🌹 @adamsribney]

@chriscilantro Yeah, I feel like people underappreciate the influence of his and others' positions and stances as they still do good work in starting the conversation, moving the overton window, and maybe beginning some on a path to more progressiveness.

@AMMUNITIONCRLOS @BavidDeardsley @anthony_xvx @lingweene @mahxism Forgive us for thinking murdering animals is unethical under any economic system lmao.

[Adam Ⓥ 🌹 @adamsribney]

@KyleKulinski Finally, the bipartisan issue to unite us all.

[Adam Ⓥ 🌹 @adamsribney]

@TheLeftTea Or, even worse, believe them but doesn’t believe that warrants a resignation.

[Adam Ⓥ 🌹 @adamsribney]

@TheLeftTea Ugh. Vermont. I wish our second Senator and our Representative were more like Bernie... :(

[Nina Turner @ninaturner]

It’s encouraging that the Rescue Plan will cut child poverty in half.

But it shouldn’t stop at 50%. We can end child poverty altogether by investing in the health, education, childcare, nutrition and family support services that millions of families desperately need.

[Mecca Allahzilla @TheEpicDept]

It rules how the pandemic revealed that essentially the purpose of the US public schools is free childcare so people can work

[Adam Ⓥ 🌹 @adamsribney]

@TeresaMayNot Even if it did, it would still be inadequate. Child poverty SHOULD NOT and DOES NOT HAVE TO exist!! Anything less is not enough.

[Adam Ⓥ 🌹 @adamsribney]

big true

[Caitlin Johnstone @caitoz]

A socialist who only criticizes the GOP is called a liberal.

[eh @swampcommie]

The bill won't be cutting child poverty in half, but even if it did, imagine thinking...let's just leave a little poverty, as a treat.

Also Ro Khanna voting for a bill without a $15 minimum wage but if he truly fought he could get it back in:

[Ro Khanna @RoKhanna]

Anything below a $15 minimum wage:

[Respectable Lawyer @RespectableLaw]

That's weird, usually we just let them die in jail. Wonder what's different here.

[Adam Ⓥ 🌹 @adamsribney]

@janeosanders Sorry, but no.

[Adam Ⓥ 🌹 @adamsribney]

Could be naïve, but I need to err on the side of optimism. If, at the very least, for the sake of my mental health.

[Adam Ⓥ 🌹 @adamsribney]

I know people are critical of the "taking over Democratic party" approach, and so am I.

@ninaturner's bid for congress is the last straw for me. If she can't turn things around and caves to the establishment too, then I've had enough.

But for now, LET'S GET NINA TURNER ELECTED.
