Just hit me there are probably 30,000+ DSA members who don't know who Max Baucus is and how much he set back universal healthcare.
Too many people spend too much shitposting Joe Leiberman and not enough people spend time shitposting Max Baucus and Kent Conrad.
Max Baucus killed the public option in Obamacare, Kent Conrad was the chair of the Senate Budget Committee who worked with billionaires and bosses to push austerity and almost cut Social Security during the Obama admin.
Blanche Lincoln!! There were SOOOOO many unfathomably awful corporate Democrats in the senate 10 years ago. At least Joe Manchin will probably vote for labor law reform! If we can figure out how to PASS IT without 60 votes, well, we'll see.
Bernie Sanders became a meme, put the meme of himself on a sweatshirt, sold out, sold tshirts and stickers, raised $1.8 mil for charity, made GETTY IMAGES donate their cut, and another company donate 50 coats.
That's the guy the political/media establishment said is out touch.
And he's still spitting mad that congress can't get its shit together to help people, so he's writing a budget reconciliation bill that doesn't need Republican votes, and in the meanwhile he's planning to win a raise for 32 million workers.
