@IndLeftNews @BenSpielberg @jimmy_dore (1) The #ReplacePelosiJan3 & negotiate w/other Speaker candidates 2 THEN #ForceTheVote + get more changes campaign was drowned out by the FTV movement. Today, the FTV ppl on the ground in DC r condemning Squad votes 4 Pelosi. Way too little & way 2 late.
@IndLeftNews @BenSpielberg @jimmy_dore (2) But, a more important 1, is that the Squad felt free 2 decide how 2 vote on Pelosi w/o consulting the ppl's movement. These advocates of bottom-up democracy did not practice it all when it came 2 the most important decision they would make during the next 2 years.
@IndLeftNews @BenSpielberg @jimmy_dore (3) They're not the only ones of course. Bernie Sanders did the same thing when he dropped out of the pressidential race. His "Not me. Us!" movement suddenly turned into an "it's my decision alone", affair. That enraged me at the time. It still does. After extracting all that ...
(1) #ReplacePelosiJan3 & negotiate w/other Speaker candidates 2 THEN #ForceTheVote + get more changes. Why? We can't tolerate 2 more yrs of her leadership in the House. She has an awful record & is an incompetent negotiator. 
(2) #ReplacePelosiJan3 & negotiate w/other Speaker candidates 2 THEN #ForceTheVote + get more changes. Pelosi led the Democrats to a disastrous defeat in 2010 after failing to pass MFA then. In 2020, she led Ds to lose 10 seats in the House & set them up 4 a disaster in2022.
(3) #ReplacePelosiJan3 & negotiate w/other Speaker candidates 2 THEN #ForceTheVote + get more changes. Pelosi is a fiscal disaster imposing paygo on the Dem Party for yrs & stopping progressive legislation requiring deficit spending. She is a fiscal hawk down with austerity.
(1) @CoriBush Thank you 4 not committing to vote 4 Nancy Pelosi 4 Speaker. Instead, please #ReplacePelosiJan3 #ForceM4ALLVote U & ur Squad mates have the votes 2 block Pelosi 4 multiple ballots until she withdraws then u can negotiate w/others 4: many floor votes including MFA,
(2) GND, monthly survival payments via the ABC ACT, & other priorities; rule changes such as, noPayGo, & requiring automatic floor votes if a specific # of Reps co-sponsor a bill; & Committee spots See:
(3) Is the Risk Worth it? It is 4 #ReplacePelosiJan3 & #ForceM4ALLVote, but not just 4 an MFA vote alone. @lanadell @RamonaMassachi @TiMEoFPoSTiNG @OzbatRisa @ProudSocialist @marwilliamson How it would work is coming up:
Access to medical care is a right...not a privilege of the few.
Let's stop wasting our tax and paycheck dollars on a bloated inefficient private system that rations our care and cheats us.

The US medical system is not a fair market (try getting multiple price quotes for a medical service). Providers use obfuscation and misinformation to make it nearly impossible to shop as you typically would as a consumer. Reason? PROFIT

Folks who are told to fear a national health system because care might be rationed need to realize that care is rationed more in the US than any nation. By denying coverage, making insurance unavailable due to cost or unemployment, or creating fear of surprise medical bills.
(1) Please join myself & others for a Tweet Storm Today anytime between 4pm & 5pm ET. Hashtags will be #ReplacePelosiJan3 #ForceM4ALLVote (please don't use the hashtags until 4pm ET today).
(2) The initial goal is to put pressure on the Squad to vote for persons other than Nancy Pelosi & Kevin McCarthy for Speaker until she withdraws from the Speaker race due to inability to get a majority of votes cast.
(3) At that point, other Democrats will enter the race & whoever wins will need to do so with the support of the Squad & other Democratic factions. So, the Squad & other D factions will have an opportunity to negotiate deals with Speaker candidates.
