@jimmy_dore I agree with forcing the vote, but the Squad can’t pull it off. The bill will die in the Senate. You want the best chance for it to pass? Wait until after the Georgia special elections and then pressure Dems in the House and Senate to vote and pass it. The fact that you want
@jimmy_dore the vote RIGHT NOW!!!, when McConnell will 100% kill it, as opposed to like a month from now, when the chances are much greater, shows you aren’t serious about it. And yes, a functional government that’s not headed by psychopaths would
@jimmy_dore have already passed it. It’s a goddamn disgrace that our politicians haven’t passed it. We live in a fucking dystopia.
@jimmy_dore This current pressure could have been used to get Congress to pass a slightly less shitty $1200 stimulus checks instead of the absolute garbage $600 checks, but since you now hate Bernie Sanders, you didn’t give a shit to back him up the past couple days in trying
@jimmy_dore to get a better deal for the American people. And then a month from now, if Warnock and Ossoff win, we could mobilize progressives to push for Medicare for All. You tunnel visioned though and are undermining the best odds we have of getting it passed.
