The Democratic Party is historically unpopular with its own voters.
Caving to Trump and getting nothing in return will only bring these numbers down further.
It’s a historic failure—and an opportunity to push for changes to the electoral system.

Democratic Party hits lowest approval in over 30 years: Poll
The only policy areas where Democrats outperform Republicans in the new poll from the Wall Street Journal are health care and vaccine policy.

Senator Schumer is no longer effective and should be replaced. If you can’t lead the fight to stop healthcare premiums from skyrocketing for Americans, what will you fight for?

Cull the Democratic Party. Systematically chip away all the weak, corporate centrists and corrupt, gutless elected officials who refuse to fight and instead suck at the teat of the oligarchy.

I’m no great fan of the ACA.
I believe we should guarantee health care as a human right through a single-payer Medicare for All system.
But — at minimum — we cannot allow Republicans to destroy our already-broken system by doubling insurance premiums for 20 million Americans.

Hey @schumer.senate.gov, a 'promise' from Republicans? WTAF? Are you a child? Even you can't be that naïve. Don't you dare do your kabuki theater with hundreds of millions of lives hanging in the balance.

Jimmy Kimmel isn't returning to the airwaves because of "thoughtful conversations" with Disney executives.
He's back because consumers sent Disney a clear message: selling out our fundamental rights is not an acceptable cost of doing business.

Here are some of the highlights of them unable to answer my basic questions or rebut the simplest of points. Not sure whether to laugh or cry.

Clint Eastwood accused an Australian publication of running a fake interview with him. The quotes, though real, were pulled from several past interviews — not a single conversation.
Did that Clint Eastwood Interview Happen? Yes, Kind of.
Eastwood, 95, accused a small Austrian publication of running a “phony” Q. and A. with him. It turns out the quotes were aggregated from previous interviews.
