Titled “An Urgent Conversation with the American People,” the livestreamed discussion comes ahead of Congress’ return to session on Monday.
A statement released by both officials’ offices said in part, “Republican leaders have made clear their intention to use the coming weeks to advance a reckless budget scheme to President Trump’s desk that seeks to gut Medicaid, food assistance and basic needs programs that help people, all to give tax breaks to billionaires. Given what’s at stake, these could be some of the most consequential weeks for seniors, kids and families in generations.”
According to the statement, Rep. Jeffries and Sen. Booker plan to speak to shared American values and the nation’s religious and moral underpinnings, and how the budget bill opposes these beliefs. They also plan to affirm to Americans watching the livestream that their voices matter, especially in this moment in time.
I hope you don’t, because yours is today. Maybe actually read my comment to see what day I voted for, jackass.
I read it all. I hope you have the day you voted for. So, I hope you have a good day. I don’t disagree with you. The two party system is shit. I voted Bernie in the primary too.
Then stop blaming the left. You’re sewing discord and serving fascism. Hold the Democratic Party accountable for always doing the bare minimum they think they have to and nothing more. That’s what’s gotten us to where we are, not voters that are fed up with the bullshit.
Give the people something to vote for, don’t blame them when all of the options are evil. No more “lesser of two evils,” it’s clearly not working.
It’s fucking hilarious how you all try to change the meaning of “the left.”
The left has always been the Democratic Party, bud. And while it can be inclusive to other sociological and political ideologies, at its core, the democrats have been at its epicenter.
Maybe look up when the term originated from?
To me, all attempts to co-opt the term appear to only be accepted by those that like to misuse it, constantly.
Uh, no? The Democratic Party doesn’t define the left. The Democratic Party left the left. Here’s a bit right from Wikipedia.
I haven’t seen the Democratic Party pay anything but lip service to the definition of the left in a long time. Neoliberalism, which is the party line right now, is a right wing ideology.
From your own article:
“In France, where the terms originated, the left has been called “the party of movement” or liberal”
And since “liberal” is synonymous with democrats…
The left are democrats.
This was fun!
The Republicans don’t call themselves Nazis, and yet they are the party of Nazis. Turns out you can’t trust a group’s self-applied label to accurately describe what they stand for in perpetuity.
You can’t convince blue maga that they’re blue maga They’ll keep blindly voting for their team while ignoring what they actually do.
Never mind that Biden kept Trump’s deportation concentration camps open.
Never mind Biden used them twice as much as Trump throughout his time as president.
Never mind that more protected land was sold for fraking by Biden than any other president to date.
Or that Biden approved more off shore drilling than any other president.
Or that it’s thanks to Biden that student loans aren’t forgiven with bankruptcy.
Blue no matter who, Red bad. There is no other way. None.
I’m not blaming the left or sewing discord serving fascism. Trump is the fascism. Anyone who didn’t actively fight against him is the problem.
So let me get this straight. Someone says
clearly blaming the past inaction of the Democratic Party for the state of affairs today, and you chime in with:
And go on to double down that you are blaming this person for fascism. And all of this is you not sewing discord or blaming the left? You know who I hate worse than sycophants? Sycophants who constantly lie to rile people up. I don’t care or believe who you voted for. You behaving like this only serves fascism.
This is exactly what they did to me and it’s very apparent that they’re not capable of meaningful discourse beyond childish heel digging.
Honestly, you leave Reddit to get away from this paper thin sports-team politics nonsense and yet here we are feeding the parrots.
It’s depressing.
I definitely was hoping Lemmy would be better than reddit for this but it’s the same neoliberals bullshitting that was rampant there. It’s exhausting.
You’re entitled to you opinion. I don’t share it.
I don’t need you to share it, I need you to stop spouting bullshit blaming people who want something better.
Just block blakenong. I just did.
I did too after this comment.
This is your interpretation only, and does not represent my opinion.
