Yes so how is 3% going to encompass 880 billion worth of cuts Its not about getting people back to work, it never was- its about adding a bureaucratic layer to trip people up and kick them off coverage

The 35 yr old playing video games in his moms basement doesnt care if he loses his Medicaid bc he is most likely healthy. He doesn't even hardly use it, so he wont be worried I hate these 90s era welfare talking points for cutting Medicaid. It is in no way the same as handing someone free cash

7 rural hospitals in West Virginia will never make it 90% of their patients are on Medicaid 3 hour drives to the nearest hospital if and when they close Even people who still "have Medicaid" won't be able to access life saving care in an emergency Shameful

California has built its entire economy around a permanent under class of illegal immigrants In other parts of the country not every single person who does blue collar work is an illegal immigrant from south America

We need a universal public option, but arguing that Americans need to pay for illegal immigrants is completely idiotic and will NEVER get common sense, independents, or Republicans to agree with you

2/4: When Bill Clinton signed NAFTA, shipping jobs to Mexico and Canada, causing industry to board up in the middle of the country, left to rot When he deregulated the finance industry and lead us to the 2008 housing crisis And When Obama told us: “sorry, some jobs just aren’t coming back”

I am optimistic that history will judge this time as being when we reversed globalization and became a protectionist country; ushering in profound security for working class people

Congestion pricing costs the working class tons of extra money, when they are already working hard and living mostly paycheck to paycheck. Only an out of touch liberal elite leftist would see otherwise.

No. We don’t need tons of immigrants. We need to build up the lives of people who are already citizens of our country and stop wage suppression. The bottom 25% are hurt by mass immigration, the top 25% benefit massively

Many say Dems love mass illegal immigration because they want to secure future votes, but I actually think many immigrants are culturally more conservative than Americans. Instead, it’s about importing cheap labor for corporations & wealthy, undercutting the value of the non college educated

It’ll be fine The states have autonomy over lots of things; they can figure this one out too

Because working class interests will never benefit from a surplus of unskilled labor. If you give a crap about working people, you should want a secure border.

Mass illegal unfettered immigration doesn’t take jobs from the top 25% of society, but it massively affects people on the bottom 25%. Bernie’s new stance is in line with the majority of this country, and it is in line with the working class. Deal with it.

We need immigration policies that protect working class people. Mass unfettered illegal immigration hurts the bottom25% of society. Mostly people without college degrees.

If Bernie’s stance is “mediocre” to you - what would you consider being a good stance? Bernie is half heartedly rectifying his years long mistake of cowering to the activist class on this issue. He was right initially in 2015 when he called mass illegal immigration a “Koch brothers idea”

I Raised $50 Million for the Democrats. This Week, I Voted for Trump.
The Democratic Party turned its back on me and my family long before I turned my back on it.

Bernie is a political coward. But today his statement about illegal immigration is seismic Before Bernie was a household name, he had a moderate stance, calling it a “Koch brothers” idea His blessing will reverberate throughout the most culturally left; a signal it is time to change

To be completely honest, watching a bunch of influencers come out of the White House yesterday with binders full of nothing did remind me of some kind of stunt you’d expect from a Biden or Kamala Harris admin Remember the Tik Tok stars at the DNC?

Just like I thought it was a really bad idea for Democrats to go wild on wokeness and DEI, I think it’s a really bad idea if the GOP does “Paul Ryan style” cuts to Medicaid
