I always forget that people don’t know this is how it works.
Once we finally get a Dem Congress and POTUS then we’ll get universal healthcare, right? Right?
Nope, sorry… we’d need actual progressives to get that done.
Gotta shift that Overton window first. Votes can do that slowly, if we can do it consistently enough (local elections too, not just the presidential one.)
That probably won’t be enough on its own, of course, but it’s certainly not nothing.
They’ll raise the minimum wage to $20/hr?
That one might actually happen because of how fucking pissed everyone is and because minimum wage employers don’t lobby as much as health insurers, drug manufacturers, and PBMs.

sorry, best I can do is insulin coupons
My go to liberal ‘thing’ is means testing but insulin coupons just got added to the list.
I mean, maybe. Exactly how Dem is this Congress? Because we’re gonna have to have enough Dems that we can lose a few and still win the vote.
Unless, of course, you think we can get some Republicans on board. It’s almost like the main problem isn’t the few Dems that won’t play along, like Manchin and Lieberman. Maybe the main issue is Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV), JD Vance (R-OH), and Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), and the fact that I could have listed 47 other Republicans here, and that’s just if I stick to the Senate.
Talk about a tautological statement. Dems need Dems to get anything done because of the shitbag obstructionist repubs who want to hinder all progress. It’s like saying people need air to breathe.
Some people think the president can just do whatever they want.
Some people expect Democrats to use the majorities we give them.
In other news, many people find it difficult to breathe in space.
Senate map is fucked this year. Maybe she’ll get one after the 2026 cycle.
Democratic majorities don’t pass agendas. If we get a majority in both chambers, we’ll get to see who the new Manchin is. My money is on one of the candidates that the foreign genocidal apartheid regime bought.
And Senate.
Not to be too pedantic but the Congress is comprised of the House of Representatives and the Senate. Essentially you’ve just said ATM machine
My mistake. Thanks for the ‘duh’ information.
I somehow don’t think I’m the only one who wasn’t aware of that. Thanks for educating us all
We all do it. Especially myself. I’m always happy to be corrected.
