Any democrat who doesnt try to blow up the congress to stop this bill is complicit in it. Voting no is not enough.
I hope one day they all suffer as much as the masses that will suffer when their healthcare is repealed

Democratic groups are also looking to expand their advertising blitz to prominent podcasters, who would read ad scripts on their shows.
Democrats are hoping the policy bill will unite a party still often lost in its own intraparty feud, pointing fingers at one another over why they suffered such stunning losses in 2024 that left them completely out of power in Washington and unsure of how to move forward.
“There’s been a lot of navel-gazing about what’s going on with the party and where did we go wrong,” said former Representative Conor Lamb, the Pennsylvania Democrat whose special-election victory in January 2018 was an early sign of what was then the party’s resurgence. “This bill gives us a new task and gives us a new day and restarts the clock for a new campaign.”
Democratic groups are already mobilizing to educate their voters about the bill, which they broadly frame as an enormous transfer of wealth from the nation’s poor to its wealthy. The A.F.L.-C.I.O. is planning two months of bus tours that will visit more than 35 cities from coast to coast.
Among those present was former NYC mayoral candidate and former hedge fund executive Whitney Tilson, who recently shared a debate stage with Mamdani. Tilson described Mamdani as "very charming and charismatic," but added he sharply disagrees with Mamdani's policies and that "[a small fraction] of New York City voters picked him… It's a totally rigged closed primary."
Tilson told ABC News when it became clear the race was between two people, he had hoped former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo would win. He said he would "...continue for the next 130 days what I began in earnest 45 days ago -- to make sure Zohran Mamdani, an unqualified radical socialist, does not become mayor of our city."
Several other vexed moderate-minded Democrats, beyond the handful in the meeting with Adams, are making similar schemes, a Democratic source with knowledge of the conversations confirmed to ABC.
Connor fucking lamb is the "resurgence" lmao what. I live in the city limits of Pittsburgh. He got elected in the suburbs right outside of the city, in the most liberal white collar suburbs. He is also the most plain white toast nothing burger of a politician. Complete and total centrist in every meaning of the word in American politics. If he's the resurgence then the Dems are cooked
So they're going to undo it once they win back office (unlike Guantanamo, Bush Jr's deportation policy, Iraq, Afghanistan, Trump's tariffs, etc), right?
The following shitty article is not worth its own post but it's on the same theme as this post so I'll leave it here. Of course - the reporter doesn't mention ICE. Did Jeffries speechify for nine fucking hours without saying anything of note about ICE?
Jeffries Breaks Record in Hourslong Speech Opposing Trump’s Policy Bill
Representative Hakeem Jeffries, the New York Democrat and minority leader, delayed a final House vote with an impassioned speech that lasted nearly nine hours.
[...]
There were also moments of levity. Mr. Jeffries recalled saving his first paycheck as a teenager to buy new sneakers so he could “look fresh, like Run D.M.C.,” took a moment to tell his mother he loved her and playfully called out colleagues by name as he referred to their states and alma maters.
I'm absolutely love it when things are wasted on political performance bullshit
