When critiquing #DemocraticSocialism, for an accurate picture, you must adjust for CIA interference--the way you might adjust economics indices for inflation, or your weight without clothes.
Therefore: only judge socialist programs of those nations the US has NOT meddled in, i.e. Norway.

The dem cavers are telling us the ACA plan is a pinky swear promise vote potentially in December. Voters gave dems a massive election win and they failed us. Dem leadership must be removed immediately.

What was the point of all the federal workers suffering all these weeks, going without pay; the shuttering of SNAP funds; the closure of parks; the cancellation of flights (including mine!) and all the rest of the chaos, if Chuck "I'll take the L!" Schumer would then just cave?

11 million Americans marched for the No Kings movement.
Many millions marched--even in Canada--for the Hands Off event.
And Chuck Schumer and the Hateful Eight wasted it.
Time for him to go.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 95th day out of the last 107.
12 days of work in 107 days.
With full pay and benefits.
The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.
It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

The Trump Shutdown is the longest in US history.
House Republicans aren’t even in DC — they’re hiding out at home for the 5th week in a row.
As the GOP does nothing, federal workers are missing paychecks, families are going hungry, air travel is becoming a nightmare, and our economy is sputtering.

Indeed—it’s nice to see beauty that comes from Mother Nature and the glow of being a good and decent human being, as opposed to silicone, fake tans, filler everywhere, and Mar-a-Lago Face.

Where were NY-ers Clinton & Schumer, huh?
We were browbeaten to “Vote blue, no matter who!”, even if we disagreed w/them on a shit-ton of issues. We voted for them, HRC included.
Now the shoe's on the other foot & they’re asked to support someone THEY may disagree with...and BUPKIS.
Go Mamdani!
