Voters want a Democratic Party that fights back against the forces that have rigged the system and made their lives more difficult.
A party that comforts the afflicted and afflicts the comfortable —not a party that buckles and capitulates.
When will party leadership learn this lesson?

TBH this barely even feels like a joke news article anymore. We've reached a point where reality is more outrageous than satire. 😝

Senators on the brink of retirement who lived full, wealthy lives and never feared the loss of their own healthcare voting for their constituents to die from their inability to afford the same is treasonous

None of the 8 senators are mine. I have no senator because I live in DC. I rely on others to do the right thing and this wasn't it. I am so angry right now. Absolutely livid. How dare you capitulate like this in a win-win situation where all you had to do was hold strong. You weaklings. YOU COWARDS.

Hey you know what would be great? If America had a fucking left wing party, instead of a bunch of God damn cowards and abandoners.
This is not opposition. This is not striking a deal. This is getting fucking played, for nothing. All of this, all the suffering you watched happen, was for nothing.

Did you know that in Canada, if a budget doesn’t pass the government doesn’t shut down?
Federal workers aren’t furloughed.
Funding for social services doesn’t dry up.
Failure to pass a budget triggers an election.
It puts the politicians jobs on the line.
They get the budget passed.

I'd like to see a state pass a bill like this somewhere where the focus would be water use by data centers. Slap a per gallon fee on their water usage. Slap that fee on everyone using a lot of water. Put it into a sovereign wealth fund like Alaska and issue an annual universal dividend like Alaska.
Poland Spring might get soaked with $100 million state tax
Lawmakers eye an extraction fee of 12 cents per gallon for Maine groundwater.

Someone out there with real influence needs to start leading the charge on universal basic income, and preferably in a way that talks about finally distributing a fair share of the stock market.

SNAP is one of our best programs, but universal basic income would be better, especially for local stimulus. SNAP can only be spent on food—and not even all food. No hot food. Nor all stores. Cash can buy anything anywhere. With SNAP, higher pay can also mean becoming worse off. Not true with UBI.
Reporter: SNAP is so stimulative to our economy. There are lots of rural stores where 60% of their sales are SNAP sales. So that rural store might have to shutter its doors. This is our collective struggle. All of us do better when people experiencing hunger do better. All of us lose when they don't
