I remember in 2009 when the public option and Medicare expansion fell down and died. Lots of people every day since died who might have lived. Remembering them and their families this morning.
Biden promised a public option in 2020. #Medicare4All is still popular, even among Republicans. anybody remember #ForceTheVote? many more Dems (in addition to all Republicans afaik) are to blame for this than just Lieberman.
and what really sucks is the strategy of still voting Dem where it matters makes sense, no matter how many times they side with donors and people die, go bankrupt and our economy remains less competitive. kill the duopoly. #RankedChoiceVoting
Seems like #MikeJohnson is going to become #SpeakerOfTheHouse. This entire time, the Republican anti establishment movement seemed divided between whether they cared more about being hardcore conservative or making the process more transparent and accountable to voters. The former seems to have won. Returning the conversation to a culture war dialogue instead of a class war works for the Democratic party as well. Pathetic. They don't care about us. #ForceTheVote
Analyzing #ForceTheVote tactics: Against all odds, huge success (for the opposition)!
Mad at #KevinMcCarthy for being an ineffectual house speaker, professional nonce #MattGaetz pushed for a vote to remove him. He and a few other extremist Republicans voted as well, and were joined by...
The entire Democratic party.
The Republicans were probably hoping for a Democratic show of civility and moderation. Nope... not today, Jack.
