Long past time for progressives to use leverage and leave the party unless they reflect the will of voters who want progressive policies (healthcare, child/elder care, U pre-k…) that civilian DoD employees & their families get and objectively aren’t radical.
In a functional party system, this kind of capitulation in the face of authoritarianism could mean the end of the Democratic Party.
In our system, it could mean the end of the two party system. Neither party can represent the pro-democracy majority. It's time for something new.

I will never understand why democrats oppose a public option in favor of private for-profit insurance being the only marketplace option.
Unless it’s because insurance companies donate heavily to candidates who oppose public options.
Maybe it’s all about fundraising & greed instead of healthcare

The inherent problem is that free childcare and other basic work/life benefits aren't radical.
The radical part is that civilian Dept of Defense employees get 100% taxpayer funded work/life benefits that private sector taxpayers don't, and the Democratic party doesn't care.

Post 2025 polls show Mamdani running as unapologetic progressive earned him 9% of MAGA 2024 voters

Dems' tragic legacy of disastrous US healthcare will be that they gave up on a public option in exchange for private for-profit insurers being the only marketplace option. All because of fundraising and endemic greed.

Insurance companies aren’t just players in the fight with doctors over money; they’re also the referees.
They produce their own guidelines on when to pay claims. If a doctor appeals a denial, insurers make all the initial decisions.

"This is a moment that demands a response. If Dems can’t run on a unified platform that centralizes and prioritizes taxing the ultrawealthy in order to dismantle their stranglehold on our govt, then they need to get out of the way for people who will."
