Just a reminder to take plenty of breaks from social media and the immense negativity that feeds it. Its easy to read outlandish opinions, hot takes, trolling or really off-putting comments and get sucked into the battle, but for your sake be able to put the phone down and reset.

So, why does the U.S. give Israel $4 billion a year for “infrastructure” when remote locations on the Navajo Nation Reservation have no access to electricity or basic running water?
Furthermore, what does the U.S. get in return?
I find it laughable that anyone tries to make an argument Medicare for all would lead to worse medical care when our elected officials, military etc. All have it.
If it's such bad care why have they all had it for decades and not improved it?

Democrats are vastly underestimating just how fed up voters are with this tired routine

We give House Democrats the biggest blue wave in 100+ years and they repay us by getting stuck in traffic and missing a vote to impeach a war criminal.
We need to have a conversation in America that reframes what are truly centrist and basic policies Americans support.
When 70-80% think favorably of a policy, it doesn't matter whose policy that is, that is a central issue among voters.
Medicare for all is one such issue.
Medicare for all is electable.
Abolish ICE is electable.
No war in Iran is electable.
No aid for Israel is electable.
No more corporate money in politics is electable.

When so many people support it and vote for candidates in favor of it, you can't then frame it as being a fringe policy issue.
Just because one sides politicians might or might not be in favor of a policy doesn't change that.
The media wants to frame Medicare for all

Being unwilling to accept criticism of elected officials you support is not healthy nor is it a good thing for democracy or for the American people. No matter how much you support them you have to be able to hold them accountable.

Neera: Meet the “normie Dems”
84% of Democrats want Medicare for All
85% of Democrats want to expand Social Security
89% of Democrats want a $20/hr minimum wage
74% of Democrats want to end military aid to Israel
67% of Democrats want a data center moratorium
No more excuses.
This is a major problem in modern politics.
The idea that failing is somehow toxic and makes you unpopular is completely out of touch with reality and misunderstands modern voters.
Trump was impeached multiple times and another would be fully supported. Same with Hegseth.

To hold on to the record number of new and young voters that showed up to support Democratic candidates, it can’t be business as usual. Lobbyists can’t write bills. PACs can’t drive legislation. Corps can’t flood appropriations with earmarks. It’s time to stand up for the people.
How many Republicans were stuck in traffic?
Some Democrats are using the excuse that they were stuck in traffic for missing a vote.
They are paid $174,000 with incredible benefits, but haven't learned to show up early so they don't miss votes when something comes up.
Meanwhile, millions of Americans work low-paying jobs where they can be fired for showing up 15 minutes late one time.
We need to send more people to Congress who know what it is like to work for a living and get rid of those who think it is a country club.

Stop idolizing politicians. They’re our employees, and when they don’t do their jobs, we need to fucking fire them.

It does not matter. I cannot stress enough how much it does not matter. Democrats failing to show up to a vote on something the public cares about is an abdication of responsibility and an insult to all those who made the election results what they ended up being.
