Good God, so many of the responses here are depressing. No, in fact, I donโ€™t want my senators to respond with clapback & insults. I want them to do what they are doing. Keep repeating the questions, list the questions she is not answering, etc. I do not want to be Trump but from a Dem standpoint.

Ok, my Virginia peeps. This is it. All hands on deck. I donโ€™t want to hear Dem leadership whines, single issue divisive nonsense, any of it. My family got the memo. My retired lawyer mom is poll watching. My 95 year old grandma voted, I am doing speeches and thousands of postcards. letโ€™s go.๐Ÿธ

Purely poll driven, is my guess. The Epstein polls, even from GOP voters, are absolutely devastating for those hoping it would go away.

I agree. I feel the same way about people bitching about political leaders not responding within 20 seconds of something happening. I oddly still believe that a well thought out response combined with actions means more than instant clapback, particularly before the facts are established.๐Ÿธ

While the bulk of the press repeat the attached. They have to ability to stop this both sides nonsense, follow up with every GOP member until they get straight answers, have the gaggle repeat questions until they get answers, provide real time fact checks with chyrons/videos, etc. yet they do not.

I donโ€™t want him either. At all. Things he has said & done are unacceptable and revolting. But, we are nowhere near the potus cycle yet and I will say that, unlike a few online/pundit faction favorites, he is at least running parallel legislative pushes, as well. Speeches & clapback are not enough.

I give up. You are ignoring facts and receipts on both her tax plans and her policies for a bizarre narrative that serves no one. I have no clue what your goal/agenda is, but it is certainly not to help anyone *now* and I donโ€™t have the patience to wait for your actual point. Best of luck to you.๐Ÿธ

she proposed to make a point that simply does not hold through. Single payer is *one method* of universal care, and not one all successful countries choose, rather using hybrid systems.

Again, most Democrats *want* universal care (some SP, some hybrid) Itโ€˜s in the platforms. The ACA was just one step. The fact is FDR cut it off of his bill (during a huge Dem majority Congress) and never got back to it. You are ignoring Hillaryโ€™s early health plan, and a lot of the policies

just Not fully true. Are you really calling programs Hillary pushed like universal pre-k neo-liberalism? Head Start? The anti-poverty Earned Income Tax Credit expansion or the Childrenโ€™s Health Insurance Program? Not to forget that FDR sliced universal care right off his SS bill to appease the AMA.

He has been doing this all along. People just listening now have been spending way too much time following the narratives of others with their own agenda. He has been holding together the caucus. We need workhorses doing the actual House business and show ponies. Both matter.
