I’d settle with healthcare + prosecuting currupt actors currently running things

Agreed!

Where are the Democratic think tanks that could be figuring this out well before a Democratic majority exists? It’s Congress that will need to write and pass the massive legislative package.

I don’t know about The Hill’s political leaning, but I feel like the quote they pulled for that headline misses the forest for the trees…
The real pull from what Walz said is this:
>”…it has to be about not holding power for the sake of holding power, it has to be about passing things,”
He’s not talking specifically about universal health care. He’s talking about actually committing to true progressive action when progressives take back control of the government.
And he’s damn right about that. Sitting on their hands just isn’t good enough anymore.

Nah, Americans seem very happy paying the same tax rate as nations with universal healthcare and funding wars with Israel instead

If they are not going to make republicans responsible for the blatant corruption and rampant criminality, and instead they choose to pose next to trump for “unity” or whatever, nothing will change.

Universal mental Healthcare might be the best thing.

Getting rid of Citizens United should be up there on the priority list.

Dems better figure out how to give the American people something or they are cooked.

I know, I know… we’ll cut back spending on the military, defund the expanded ICE budget, tax the wealthiest among us just a bit more to make a HUGE difference, and then not do so much stupid shit.

It’s 2026 right now. Let’s assume the midterms go ok but not as well as we hope. What’s the fucking game plan?
TheFalconKid on
Just a heads up, the top leading contenders Harris, Newsom, and Buttigeig have no plans for universal healthcare.

CONGRESS better figure it out. They are the legislature

The DEM leadership better forget bipartisan efforts like dems did for the ACA and resulted in crap. Ram it figurately down their throats.
GarmaCyro on
I agree to this based on a single view.
Look at GOP’s actions for the past 1.5 year.
The tax rebates to the upper class. Golden public sector contracts to private donors.
The various invasions and attacks they’ve led on other nations.
All of Trump’s insane remodeling and building projects purely based on his need to showcase wealth and power.
The number of “cutting government waste” that ended up costing more than it “saved”, and has caused still unknown amounts of damage.
Yes. The US economy and government can bloody afford universal healthcare, and every other support system other wealthy nations grants its citizens. US is supposed to have among the highest GPD per capita.
Of course it can afford it all, and much more.

First we need to restore government integrity.

With the amount of money this administration is blowing on idiotic shit, there’s no excuse. The money clearly exists. If politicians actually existed to enact good for the people, this wouldn’t even be a discussion. It has to be bipartisan, like, tell me a single person who wouldn’t like to not worry about whether or not they should go see a doctor because of the cost.

The next Dem president better figure out how to get the GOP labeled as a seditious, rebellious organization so they can be treated like defeated enemy combatants.
Universal healthcare won’t mean shit if in 2-4 years the next maga fascist just dismantled it illegally via EO or whatever

Weird how there is unlimited money for war but nothing for education, health care, environmental protection or renewable energy. Funny, that.

thanks tim tell that to woman you ran with who did not support that
BRich1990 on
We really need more worker protections too.
You should be legally allowed to just layoff people the way we do. All layoffs should come with a 2 month advanced notice period.
Layoffs destroy lives and are one of the factors behind the increasing instability of the population (yet no one talks about them).

That shit is the bare minimum , I want more than that bullshit and don’t say we can’t afford it

If the democrats went for populist ideas like universal healthcare they might actually get support. Instead they trade stocks and push these weird social issues.
Too bad they don’t have a charismatic american leader.

The Democratic Party better get it ass in gear and drop the centrist baggage and the lousy leadership of the party machinery that has allowed right-wing ratcheting or its all over.
whenisnowthen on
I cannot believe that the people of this country don’t make this a top three voting issue. The healthcare industry keeps you tied to a job you don’t like, there are tax penalties if you don’t have healthcare. If you want to start a business the health insurance can put you out of an otherwise profitable business because you have no clout to negotiate down to just a ridiculous price as opposed to a horrific price. You are paying so much money every week from your paycheck and your “benefits” can change on a whim. If you get sick the purpose of the insurance company is to make money for the insurance company, not to make you well. You keep paying for drugs for decades, you pay extraordinary amounts if you need a procedure, and when all of your financial resources are exhausted, you are left to die.

Not if Chuck Schumer has anything to say about that

Did he not run as VP with someone who wasn’t running on Universal Healthcare? Like bro is part of the problem.

You want Universal Healthcare? Control of the House & 60 seats in the Senate are every bit as important, if not more important, then having a Democratic President. The most important being a filibuster proof majority in the Senate.

The next democratic president better have a platform that they are willing to act on and backbone because both are seriously lacking right now.

We had one. His name is Bernie Sanders, but the Democrats saw to it that he wasn’t nominated.

Maybe a start would be don’t go to war to cover up the Epstein files. Next, maybe tax rich folks at 99%.

Dem party leadership is fucked because Dem voters will no longer take “we can’t do that” as an excuse like they used in the Obama years when they had the White House, Congress and Senate
After watching two terms of Trump and Republicans doing whatever the fuck they want that is no longer going to fly, they need to get shit done to help Americans
