but your assertion is that i have no examples to give. quit debate lording and say what you mean

youre really trying to say that no prominent liberals support Schumer or Jeffries??

"in charge" isnt determined by elections, its determined by the party. if the Democratic party is run by liberals, then those are the liberals im talking about. you wanna know who, thats who. im not painting with a broad brush, just answering your question

liberals have argued with me here on bluesky saying that the democrats in congress are getting shit done. thats close enough for me. and then you have every corporate democrat or third way idiot. but hey if no "liberals" are supporting them then why are they still in charge?

Ursula K. Le Guin — National Book Foundation Medal: Ursula's Acceptance Speech

As Ursula K. Le Guin taught us: "We live in capitalism, its power seems inescapable — but then, so did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art. Very often in our art, the art of words."

i dont care what you call yourself, if youre out there doing the work (like you did), then i judge you by your actions. but if "liberals" are out there saying that chuck schumer and hakeem jeffries are leaders of their movement, well then i judge them by their inaction.

on one hand people are out there trying to do something so they ought to get credit for that. on the other hand these posts are on the whole, correct. just saying lets not pretend scoffing doesnt exist

tbf there are plenty on the hell app

this cherry-picking is ridiculous, though: are you really trying to claim that countries with universal health care have worse results than the US??

idk this press release makes it seem p likely you could get it
www.astrazeneca.co.jp/content/az-j...

you could get it in Japan, though. nothing about "universal health care" inherently means you couldn't, which is why you cherry-picked England. the fact is that more lives would have been saved by universal care than the ACA.

but they're blaming voters in the same way you're doing. that's what that sentence means.

that's wrong, but as long as dems keep blaming the voters like this, they'll continue to stay unpopular

and yet democrats poll even worse than republicans right now. wonder why?

so you admit it WAS a meaningless gesture? no one is going to show up at the polls for a party that can't even pass meaningless gestures. "but but but we're in the minority" you absolute cuck

yeah because Obama didnt implement universal health care. he did a shitty other thing. why are you basing your idea of what people like on a bullshit health policy written by republicans?

that's not my point; the point is that people are desperate for the same affordable health care that EVERY OTHER OECD NATION HAS. it's not "50 points underwater" unless you're talking to insurance lobbyists

The Iran resolution would've passed with enough Democrat votes. Democrats "blocking" of nominees is worthless theater. The longest shutdown didn't get anything meaningful from it. "flipped the script on healthcare" wtf is this meaningless phrase, and ICE? body cams for the jackbooted thugs.

single-payer means exactly that. nothing about universal healthcare requires the gov't choose your doctor. your weird corner case wouldn't happen in a competent universal healthcare system. meanwhile americans hate the current system so much a dude blew a CEOs brains out and people fucking love him

republicans somehow manage. what you have with the current dem leadership is a useless party that always conveniently finds just enough dissent to avoid committing to anything. and those of us who actually want to get shit done are sick of it. enjoy your strongly worded letters from chuck schumer

no you

then why didnt the DNC whip votes for the House resolution? his arguments are entirely procedural. i know youre 12 and think The West Wing is real life, but try to keep up. dem leadership isnt close to doing everything they can to stop this.

no he voted for a resolution to let Congress vote on the war

no, im describing what is happening right now.

do you think i meant this as a positive scenario? my point is that unless people demand more from the DNC, this is exemplary of the kind of useless "harm reduction" we will get.

idk man ask chuck schumer

the year is 2026 and the DNC demands a chance to vote yes on the iran war and that jackbooted thugs have body cams
