Nancy Pelosi was elected Speaker of the House and not one of our 'progressive' 'heroes' bothered to even threaten to withhold their support so she would be forced to bring Medicare For All to a vote. There are no heroes, just public servants who don't, in fact, actually serve the public.
Is that a surprise to you?
After the 2019 stimulus check, it shouldn't be a surprise to you. As C.I. noted in "2020: The Year Long Walk Of Shame:"
The US response was not like other countries in that the US government felt no need to provide for its citizens. Italy, France, etc -- they had measures in place to ensure the citizens didn't go under economically. In the US? A one-time $1,200 check was supposed to tide you over for at least eight months. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and other members of Congress do grasp, don't they, this comes to $150 a month?
$150 a month, wow, you can pay rent and stock up the fridge with that amount of money -- provided you owned a really good time machine and were willing to go back in time further than 1960 because even in 1960 the average rent was $200 a month
How out of touch is this US Congress?
And how out of touch are you if you continue to put up with this s**t?
AOC is not your friend.
Nor is this piece of crap.
That's Stinky Cenk of THE YOUNG TURKS. They are not your friends. They worked overtime -- especially Cenk and Ana -- to try to destroy the push for Medicare For All.
They are not your friends.
