I voted for Kamala, but seeing how establishment is about to attack Mamdani and how feckless they have been since Trump won, I don’t really give two shyts anymore.

I have no champion in this fight.

I’m disillusioned. Let the whole thing burn down.
After Trump then took away healthcare anything short of Medicare for all in 2028 is a nonstarter. Dems need to big big and bold if they want to turn it around, im doubtful that they will they seemed to have learned nothing from 2024 looking at the mamdani response.

If there’s one consistent theme the last 6 months it has been to ensure black upward mobility is crushed.
curious coming from one of the most pro black candidates in modern history (some one else’s words not mine :whoa:) but I suppose to some this was outcome acceptable

The issue the Dems have is that a lot of the most heinous parts of the bill don’t kick in until after the mid-terms.
so Vance has to defend them? i'm good with that

if Dems don't take the House in '26, they definitely take it in '28. which is arguably more important. that new congress is the one that certifies the '28 election. Hakeem being Speaker in 27 and 28 is less important than being the Speaker in January of 2029

You’re assuming we won’t magically be at war in summer 2028 and all of a sudden it’s too dangerous to have elections and turn over power at that time.

That right now is my bet for reasons Trump tries to stay in office.

this isn't happening, he's too fat, old, and obese. if he was 60, then yeah, i'd probably be worried about that

the real danger is that there's zero scenario where this white house, and MAGA, peacefully accepts vance losing in 2028. but they're not gonna pre-empt it, and try to not let the election play out; they'll wait for him to actually lose

I truly dont believe dems have the leadership nor the communicators to take advantage of this moment. I fully expect republicans to get way with this or lessen the impact.
They got away with the 2017 heist

Dem leaders also seem determined to kill any redistributive policies.

got a call for three nines
That’s not his point. The worst parts won’t take effect until late next year. Dems will have to campaign on what’s about to happen and Republicans will be like nah they’re lying.

I understand. I’m hoping to find a sliver of silver lining anywhere in this bill for regular people and thought he may know.

free advice, Dems; try to stay away from giving republicans such easy dunks



it's time to stop bytching about illegal immigrants, and foreign aid, and focus solely on american, citizen voters. period. you can't afford to waste political capital on bullshyt right now

yeah, it sucks that USAID got shut down, but there's bigger problems :snoop: republicans have fukked over tons of voters. FOCUS ON THEM

Some project that this bill will increase the debt by 6 trillion with little public good, how is that not more infuriating for you?
Because his algorithm told him that the stimulus that prevented the US economy from collapsing wasn't necessary, people just need to spend a couple years picking themselves up by those bootstraps and everything would be fine.
