Progressives can demand a vote for M4A when E&C bring fixes to the ACA. Before support more subsidies for private insurance companies, we should demand a markup on M4A, M4A amendments, & a vote on HR 5010 to support states in setting up single player.

You do realize why a lot of us are feeling a bit cynical today, right Congressman?

I respect that & admire you. I share your passion for the urgency of M4A. Honest disagreements over tactics should not divide us over the goal. We need a politics of addition to ultimately deliver this for people in my humble opinion.

Replying to @RoKhanna
It’s not just M4A, it’s an entire corporatist direction. It’s obeisance to the military industrial complex. And it’s a realization that if the American people don’t quickly see Dems coming on strong with a real alternative to Trumpism, then they’ll go back to it in ‘22 & 24.

The number one goal for both parties is to please their corporate interests. That's it. They could careless if they win or lose. But with that said this is why we need more progressives in congress.

The progressives had an opportunity to inspire people today. That's what rallies grassroots support. The progressive caucus unequivocally failed.

I don’t care about a syllable of what you wrote. Fix covid. You’ll win votes. The end.
That’s my biggest fear: that Biden will in no way come onto the scene (even with a Dem Senate) with actions that will come close to being sufficient to SHOW THE PEOPLE that democratic leadership will help the people! And then the republicans will SWEEP UP with fascist candidates!

Thank you both for providing such inspiring role models. FTP, sensitive observers and participants will all agree that rage, ire, and infective are all fully justified and legitimate, and that the #LongStruggle has a long history of success that will only accelerate from here.
