DO NOT CUT MEDICARE, @JoeBiden, end the filibuster and make #MedicareForAll happen if you truly want to be thought of as a modern-day FDR instead of a guy who took us further backward by cutting healthcare during a pandemic.
Joe Biden is no FDR. What an evil, scummy thing to do to the American people, especially during a pandemic. Massive cuts to Medicare because Democrats won't end the filibuster? Cuts to farm aid? With Democrats like these, who needs Republicans?

"The money is right there. It’s spent on bombs instead of homes. On cops instead of kids. On bailing out banks instead of families. Again the only argument against helping people is a lie." - @JoshuaPotash

Democrats have a majority, but Biden's cutting MEDICARE and FARM AID because of... Republicans? FUCK THAT! End the filibuster, you gormless <descending into incoherent and very unflattering mumbling> @SenateDems!
How dare they cut already sparse benefits from some of the most vulnerable people, especially during a pandemic! How dare they shrug away the mantle of a people's majority and pretend it's due to the Republicans' corruption instead of
their own greed and elitism. It's time to move forward and join other first world countries. It's time for #MedicareForAll.

"You all don't get it. I live in Trump country, in the Ozarks in southern Missouri, one of the last places where the KKK still has a relatively strong established presence."
"They don't give a shit what he does. He's just something to rally around and hate liberals, that's it, period."
"He absolutely realizes that and plays it up, they love it, he knows they love it, and the fact that people act like it's anything other than that just proves that liberals are idiots, all the more reason for high fives all around."

The U.S. needs a children's vote on issues relevant to them.
1/
Why? Because they're humans too, and they possess the wisdom of innocence from which we could become a kinder, safer, wiser nation. Their voices should be heard, and right now they're not.
2/
A children's vote would also educate upcoming generations on the basics of good citizenship in a representative democracy. They would practice these basics such that once they become adults, they will understand and better perform their roles as citizens.

And vote.

When our society needs protection from exploitation or aggression, we use our government to apply rules, regulations & order.

1/
Our press used to be regulated to protect us against bias & false/misleading information, among other things. Powerful regulations were part of the Fairness Act, which was abolished in the 1980s. You've seen where that's brought us: our media is unreliable & untrustworthy.
X/
Business regulations prevented corporations from becoming low-power and exploitative. Now, with too few regulations, we've lost healthy, wealthy capitalism to malignant capitalism that's looting our production & eating all of us alive. Kleptocracy, not capitalism. Looting.

"This isn't who we are" only holds up if we put our actions behind the phrase. We show who we are as a nation through our Constitution.
When the Constitution is threatened or damaged by the Executive Branch, the remedy for restoration is impeachment.
1/
Impeachment is about "public inquiry into public men. It's a vital check on the Executive Branch. It says to the people and the world, "this is who we are," through protection & restoration of our constitutional tenets and norms.

X/
Violations of our Constitution - impeachable crimes - are not necessarily public law. Our constitutional norm against bigotry, for example, was based on George Washington's statement of religious tolerance: mountvernon.org/library/digita…

How do you think Republican donors/voters would have reacted if Trump & Senate Repubs couldn't have gotten Democrats to concede to their terms in the recent "stimulus" bill?

Now Dems don't have a position from which to negotiate & are left to begging. How's that working for us?
What if Democrats had demanded $5,000/mo. per American worker? Would that have been any less extreme than the billions for behemoth corporations?
Over my career, I've negotiated with homeowners, executives from F500 corps & huge banks, & small businesses.

Democrats have been negotiating with middle to low ground as their starting point rather than using leverage, at a staggering cost to us. Demand much, much more.
