Lieberman. Lieberman, Lieberman, Lieberman. Knifed the ACA by insisting that the public option was removed.

Lieberman did what he was paid to do. Make it so Obama threw up his hands and said "I tried, guess we'll have to go with the corporate handout option."

In 2020, 54% of Americans flat out supported single payer according to Pew, and it was much higher according to Kaiser Family Foundation (70%)

Get real. This isn’t Obama’s fault. He did the best he could under the circumstances at the time. Dem Sen Lieberman CT trashed the public option at the time. & the PUBLiC is still not entirely supportive of universal/medicare-for-all. Sounds great as long as ‘I don’t lost my personal health ins.’

No, you kneel at the feet of LOBBYISTS. And if they offer you a nice fat check in response for favorable legislation, you'll take it.

You have it nicely balanced so there's always a Lieberman, Manchin, Sinema or Fetterman who'll refuse to play ball leading to a "compromise" "we can't", right?

Thank you for the reminder. @jonlovett.bsky.social also shares reminders about the dickishness of Joe Lieberman as a reason we don’t have a public option.

True. But let's also not forget that one of those 60 was Lieberman, who demanded there not be a public option (even though that was in the House-passed version). As usual, they negotiated against themselves.

Certainly there were many more conservative Democrats in Congress than, but Lieberman may not count as part of the "Obama Coalition" since he endorsed abd campaigned for McCain in 2008.

The Memory Tree cover: Wooden background. On the right side from top to bottom: pine cones, chestnuts, cinnamon stick, & a candle, a package wrapped in brown paper with string, a pine tree branch, more pine cones, a walnut, & more chestnuts. The string from the package loops along the bottom to the left. Left side bottom to top: letter envelope, pinecones, a star anise, and more pine branches. In white, in the center reads "The Memory Tree" and below that "by Ellie Lieberman." 1st page of The Memory Tree The Star It was said the crooked old shack grew with the trees of the woods that surrounded it. My great, great grandfather wrote his dream for a glorious home, full of riches, on a piece of paper and planted it with the rest of the seeds he brought with him from the Old Country. All summer and all spring he tended to the plot, but it wasn't until one cold and miserable December night that the funny-looking shack sprouted before his eyes. His writing couldn't have been very good, my grandmother always joked. The stories always held a certain type of magic, until I entered school. Suddenly, my grandmother and her words became less tangible, more impossible. I stopped asking to hear those tales, but she never stopped telling them, not even when she was in the hospital. Leave it to school to firmly plant my feet on the ground, while my grandmother kept trying to lift my head

The crackling of the call wakes me from my half-asleep state. The phone is cushioned between my ear and the hand precariously keeping my head from meeting the sticky motel table. I don't even remember answering it. I don't remember passing out among the structurally unsound stacks of overdue library books, sheets of paper that could cost me more to print than was in the allotted budget- Raz is going to kill me if the latest story doesn't sell well- and enough jolly ranchers wrappers to put Willy Wonka's entire factory to shame. Notebooks, for the record, do not make adequate pillows. I pull the screen slightly away from my face for a glimpse at the number. It illuminates the cheap

Why don't we try something a little different. Why don't we attack Schumer?That goon is responsible for so many Democratic losses. He is not a Democrat,he is a GOP agent. He has never supported a Dem president going decades. His BFF blocked Obama (Lieberman). When Dems switch to the GOP he lets them

Explore word origins and literary concepts with a curious little girl, a bumbling basset, and a sprinkle of fairy dust! Words and how we use them have a special sort of magic to them and the more we know, the more magical we become, too!

All We Israelis Are Ben-Gvir

A common line runs between Naftali Bennett, Yair Lapid, Avigdor Lieberman, and Ben-Gvir: nationalism, fascism and militarism differing only in the most minor of nuances.

With open enrollment underway, annual reminder that we could have had healthcare for all if it weren't for Joe Lieberman.

The CT senator didn't back the public option bc he had no political base after becoming an Independet), which meant he cldn't afford to lose the insurance coffers...HQd in CT.

When photographer Morgan Lieberman traveled to Poston Camp I, she found colorful origami cranes, or oritsuru, were tucked into the chain links.

They're intended to remind us that despite tremendous healing and hope, history is often repeated because of the quiet indifference of the majority.

It really is amazing that when a popular young Democratic politician who wants to solve real problems for people beats an old-guard institutionalist Democrat in a primary, the institutionalist Democrat just stays in the race and basically runs as a Republican.
