AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

yes 100% this. when you stop viewing it as harm reduction and instead view it (accurately) as harm displacement, the prospect of supporting these clowns is a lot less convincing.
it’s always been “who’s getting harmed instead.”

What is the argument for voting for Democrats for harm reduction if the harm is not fucking reduced

Americans are finally starting to receive their SNAP benefits.
Trump is rushing to the Supreme Court to try to ensure those people starve.

Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game.
The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.

The SNAP contingency fund holds around $6 billion.
Trump refuses to spend it on the American people.
The same guy who just fast-tracked $40 billion to Argentina.
Trump thinks Argentina deserves our money while he lets Americans starve.

The oligarchy came out in full force against Zohran Mamdani's fight for a more affordable NYC.
It didn't matter.
Let his victory in the face of Big Money serve as a reminder that people have the power.

For the first time in nearly 20 years, Democrats have won non-federal statewide races in Georgia, flipping two seats on the Public Service Commission. A rejection of Trump-era policies that have driven up energy costs and electricity bills. Congrats, Dr. Alicia Johnson and Peter Hubbard!
