Open the goverment! This is not working! Its going to cause more damage than if yall had just let the ehanced criedts expire. The ACA is failing anyways. We shouldnt be funding insurance companies that deny care any keep raising premiums/deductables! We can do better!

Virginia's economy is to dependant on fed money. I hope you promote build a "Buy Virginia" economy. Help sell our goods on the world stage.

Then open the government back up. The ACA is falling apart anyways. We shouldnt be funding insurance companies who deny care and keep raising premiums/deductables. Dems need better policy, messaging and leadership!

I hear ya. The past 4-5 years I started getting into the legislative process in Virginia. Cannabis related. In the 2024 GA, in the final comittee, paraphernalia was added to the tax line, same as cannabis products. I fought hard from many angles and it is being taken out of this years version.

Im very aware of whats out there. I want to defeat it. We prob have similar goals. I want new stratgey. Better fighters. Better policy. Better execution of policy.
I'm pissed about Dems not having the rebate part of the IRA ready to go at the same time as the creidts. That was a total policy flop.

Im not exactly suggesting Dem strategy devolves into chaos. I just want to see better policy and specifically updated messaging. Look at Spanbegers page, its endless generalizations. I want to vote for a Dem Im excited about, not just "agaisnt Trump".

Exactly! He understands current American culture. Social media culture, angertainment culture.

Not yet but I'll report back.
When Trump won, I figured the ACA will be gone soon anyways. Dems are just not winning elections like they need to in order to fight. I'm tired of the corporate, fed, Clinton era dem style. They are not meeting the times.

Keeping ppl covered is the goal. I dont think shutting down the government this long is a good way to achieve that. My guess is the GOP will never budge on the enhanced subsidies and in time if not already, more damage will happen from the shut down than if the Dems had just let them expire.

The ACA is kinda broken anyways. Funding these insurace companies with tax payer money so they can turn around and deny care and raise premiums/deductables doesnt seem sustainable.

How long should Dems hold out? Mid terms? Whats the long strategy?

2 seconds after posting Im thinkn the same. Vibe is still accurate though.

Youre 12 points ahead. Ppl are about to lose SNAP. And youre asking for money?! The dope post wouldve been, "We are 8 days away and 12 points ahead, No more donations needed, infact I will be making a donation back to Virginia!! Lets see Winsome match it!"

Virginia Dem voter on the ACA here, Id rather my premiums go up than this goverment shutdown go on. Its hurting way to many people and this post feels like you and Dems have no actual strategy. Dems need a new direction. You have to win elections to fight.

Virginia Dem voter on the ACA here, Id rather my premiums go up than this government shutdown go on. Its hurting way more ppl and doesnt seem to be a winning strategy.

Virginia Dem voter on the ACA here asking you to open the government back up. I don't believe this is a winning strategy.

Hey! #glassofbluesky #glasssky #insideoutglass #davidjamesglass #cannabiscommunity (Hopefully one day @bsky.app will stop degrading vid quality)

Its a bummer but this will prob backfire on the Dems. Most folks know nothing about the ACA and dont care to be educated on it. Yall are still not understanding the new age of "entertainment" politics brought on by social media apps.

Threatening Texts: Virginia Attorney General candidate Jay Jones says he's sent messages he regrets Democratic nominee for Attorney General Jay Jones is facing accusations that he sent text messages suggesting he would like to shoot the Speaker of the House of Delegates.

Jay Jones must drop out! 116mph isnt a "mistake" like he says. "All people" dont send texts like that. Dem voters deserve better!

There is no getting out of this. We need to focus on making Virginia strong without the federal goverment.

Showing double top mutations again! I had a plant with some mutations, I revegged it but it didnt show any mutations on the 2nd flower cycle. This is a clone from that plant and it is suprisingly showing mutations again. How cool! #virginiacannabis #cannabiscommunity #homecultivation #greensky

Thanks!! It does seem a lil better than the older posts so maybe theres been some slight improvement.

Nope. Still lowering the vid quality

Hey. Been awhile. Wanted to see if #Bluesky has better vid quality yet.

Public education does need more diversity though.

You are on the right track! Keep rockn!

And yet Dems still struggle to win elections. It's time to start appealing to both sides. Get back to being the party of freedom. Hand outs are not working. A lot of ppl just want government out of their way. Local grievances are driving poor outcomes higher up the ballot.

Where's the rebate program?! That was a total bait and abandon lower income folks. Passed in 22 ffs. Then Biden went and put tarriffs on China panels after wealthier folks used tax criedts to get them. Lost my trust and vote.

That sunroom looks nice. Probably cool to the touch polished brick floors and bunches of unique plants around.
