The thing about Mamdani is that he’s a talented politician but not otherworldly or one in a billion, he’s just a competent guy with popular ideas who ran against an entitled piece of shit and to me it’s a lot more optimistic to imagine 1000 campaigns like his than to view him as a unique phenomenon

my strong suspicion is that dems believe they’ll coast to major gains in the midterms no matter what, and their awful posture right now on all the horrors is less about winning next november and more about what they’re rhetorically committed to do should they win

In a world where the incumbent president bowed to pressure and stepped aside, it doesn’t seem like such a monumental ask to switch minority leaders.

It’s such a fucking scandal that he has no clue what Obamacare even is or how health insurance works
Trump: I want the money to go into an account for people where the people buy their own insurance. They will feel like entrepreneurs. Call it Trumpcare… anything but Obamacare. Obamacare is a disaster just like he was.

Sounds harsh but they routinely run against/scared of their own record, they kneecap anybody who gets popular without the blessing of the establishment and are scared of being in power. I haven't heard shit about a damn Parliamentarian since the GOP got in but that was all I heard w/ the Dems
The reason people think the Democratic Party doesn't actually stand for anything is because it doesn't.

It is incredible — the blind spots you develop when you’ve never, ever been poor.
Trump claims that food stamps "puts the country in jeopardy. People that are able-bodied can do a job, they leave their job because they figure they can pick this up, it's easier."

The context of the betrayal is what gets me:
• In the wake of an election night with no bad news for Democrats.
• Polling showed GOP was being blamed for the shutdown.
• Based on a meaningless promise—a Senate vote—while the House GOP won't take it up.
• People are going to die because of this.

This is so offensive I don’t even know where to start.
“Vote blue no matter who and also shut the fuck up when those people betray you.”
Nope.
We will primary every senator who doesn’t call for Schumer to step down in the next 24 hours.
You work for us.

The sooner we get past internal recriminations and back to fighting united, the better off we all are — the likelier our victory next November.

I mean, this should be the absolute loudest wake-up call possible that any vote in December will be exactly the same. GOP keeps showing their hand over and over here.
UPDATE: The Senate votes 53-47 to shoot down the Baldwin amendment to extend ACA funds for 1 year. A party-line vote with every Republican rejecting it.
An important vote in this series: Tammy Baldwin’s proposal to extend ACA expiring funds for 1 year. It’s structured as a motion to table (i.e. scrap it from the amendment tree). But it’ll show the appetite (or lack thereof) in the Senate to address this issue.
