Democrats could pass major parts of her agenda with narrow majorities. But Republicans are telegraphing that her plans would be dead on arrival if they're in charge.
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.
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.
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.
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.

They’ll raise the minimum wage to $20/hr?

Maybe? They still have to appease their corporate donors.
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.
