But the autopen. And Hunter’s dong. Biden must face Republican justice.
Republicans have had over a decade to “fix” the ACA and the best they’ve proposed is nuke it with nothing to replace.
GOP is not a serious party, they are arsonists.
Also, democrats had had since 1973 to codify roe v wade but they never did.
The democrats are also not a serious party. They are grifters.
And that’s why we are in this mess.
Democrats have proposed:
- Freedom of Choice Act
- Women’s Health Protection Act
- Reproductive Freedom for Women Act
- Ensuring Access to Abortion Act
- Freedom to Travel for Health Care Act
(And likely more I’m forgetting)
All related to codifying Roe / protecting women’s choice, and all failing to pass into law due to Republican resistance. Politely fuck off with that nonsense.
Freedom of Choice Act: Joe Manchin (D) voted against, nullifying the tie breaker effect that the VP (D) would’ve had.
Reproductive Freedom for Women Act: Bill was introduced too late, killed on Jan 3rd 2025 as it still hadn’t reached the senate floor by presidential turnover. Certainly feels like it was on purpose. It’s not like senators don’t know how long bills take to pass.
Women’s Health Protection Act: Joe Manchin (D) voted against, nullifying the tie breaker effect that the VP (D) would’ve had.
Ensuring Access to Abortion Act: Never passed the 60 vote threshold.
Freedom to Travel for Health Care: Never passed the 60 vote threshold.
You got more? Keep them coming. I can keep showing you how Democrats torpedo their own bills and then blame the Republicans to keep the status quo and keep fundraising off of us.
Yeah for the last two there, the filibuster is the culprit. But Democrats also had the opportunity to get rid of it with Biden and didn’t. So then you deal with it, keep bringing the bill on the floor till you get cloture.
But at least they don’t try to set everything on fire. Still the better option. But still not great.
Manchin might have a (D) next to his name, but he’s always been a republican in spirit. He cheered hard for Trump. Only reason the party accepts him is that no real democrat is gonna win west Virginia and they need every seat they can get in order to have a majority
Essentially the entire system is bullshit and while the democrats are ineffective, I’m not sure they’re always ineffective on purpose.
Sounds like you’re blaming the party on one-two D votes for the bills failing, while ignoring the entire arsonist party that enabled those singular votes to break them.
Edit - again, never even a proposal from republicans to correct or build on the ACA, just wholesale destruction, like everything the party does.
Look I’m not saying the Republicans are good. Not in the slightest. They suck. And worse than Democrats.
For someone not saying that, you sure are saying “both sides” bullshit.
I don’t understand.
If I post the George Carlin clip of how it’s a big club and you’re not in it, we might as well be in some backwoods country church, just drowning in people screaming “Amen!”
If I say that both parties don’t have your interests in mind and will throw you under the bus to keep hoarding wealth, I’m a tankie Russian bot who’s probably a Republican collaborator.
What’s the difference?
Then I guess we’re in agreement, I’d like more options as well and ranked voting should be law of the land to enable that. In the meantime US is stuck with one party actively hostile to life and liberty, and another that struggles to enact progress at every pass. Given that, I really can’t stand hearing “but the dems” in an environment where that’s all we’ve got.
When you like something you try your beat to change it. What did you do try to change it?
The democrats only controlled congress briefly under Obama and anything they tried to pass got stonewalled by Mitch the bitch and Manchin
2 trillion in tax cuts for the wealthy. We can’t afford that at all, wtf?!
DOGE cuts, as harmful as they were to government function, are not even a drop in a $2T bucket.
Mainstream Media: why aren’t you hounding repugnantcons daily about the rich robbing the working poor like this?!
The billionaires already pay on average just 8% of their income in taxes. That’s way less than the vast majority of us pay. And they need to steal from us to pay even less?! These bastards need to pay their fair share, one way or another.
Most media outlets are owned by the wealthiest, and they don’t want things going against their wants
And thus they wish death on 10.9 million Americans
Its okay though,the demoncrat$ were gonna have death panels (/s)
INCORRECT…a lot of those deaths will be excruciatingly painful and some will be treatable.
So, in essence, they are wishing a painful yet treatable death to millions.
When asked for comment the White House replied: “Yeah well the CBO are communist illegal immigrant antisemites!! The Joe Biden clone robot is remotely controlling them, they’re going to be deported! Thank you for your attention to this matter.”
2 trillion is the first year. The bill will add 20 trillion to the deficit over the next 10 years.
They had weakened the aca by kicking the one leg out and this will basically push it back to where it was. hospitals will have to inflate costs to make up for the uninsured (or just go under) and its a slippery slope back to where we were. Sucks because the aca was one of the few good things of this millenia.
The way they’re going it’s not gonna be long before we start hearing about hospitals not being required to treat you in the ER without proof you can pay to keep costs down
We are adding $1 trillion every 100 days as it stands right now. So something has to change.
Something that doesn’t make it worse though, right?
