Pragmatic - asking for billionaire donor permission Climate change? - Exxon says no. Sorry guys. Voting rights? -Koch’s said no. sorry guys M4A? - Pharma and insurance CEOs said no. Sorry guys. Cancel debt? -banks said no. Sorry guys. $15/hr? -McDonalds said no. Sorry guys.

There’s nothing “pragmatic” about things that Joe Biden has proposed.

Fuck that

So it was a sheep dogging grift the whole time?! I'm shocked

Here's the deal. I'm a pragmatic person & I understand that our current for profit health-care industry can be made better & cheaper by switching to #Medicare4All, just as many other OECD countries have. What could be more pragmatic than a more effective, cheaper system? #M4ALL

Ugh, there’s no need to rebrand They already shifted Congress to the left by being so stubbornly progressive I get that we can have M4A this year, and probably not next year either, but that doesn’t mean we give up. We look for what we can do now, while promoting all the while

All large organizations just need a couple of sitdowns by some establishment politicians to get co-opted. Or just by nature of being large need to be "sanitized" to continue growing (and growing is always put on top of w.e. the mission is)

The folks in OR seem to misunderstand the purpose of orgs like this, which is to advocate and pressure. It's not like they personally lost an election. They could remain vital as leftist pressure point. Instead they act like they have to take drastic action to remain in office

Every generation thinks that they will push the Reagan Democrats back to some mythical time that never existed. The Republican party was founded because the Dems were racists, elitists pos. NOTHING HAS CHANGED, except the faces of the "let's waste our lives & push em left"

So they're fighting to get what Joe promised but isn't planning on doing? Got it. Jesus, we live in a severely underfunded insane asylum run by lunatics.
