Folks who want to defeat Susan Collins need to get much, much better at saying the name Troy Jackson. FFS, say the name of the candidate you support (Troy Jackson) more often than the one you oppose. People need to know the name Troy Jackson. Look at Troy Jackson's priorities:
* Pass Medicare for all.
* Lower the cost of prescription drugs.
* Tax the billionaires and make sure greedy corporations pay their fair share.
* Deliver tax cuts for the working class.
* Dismantle and abolish ICE.
* Pass a federal right to abortion.
* End the genocide in Gaza. No U.S. tax dollars to Israel's military.
* Protect the right to vote and organize for every American.
* Pass comprehensive civil rights legislation protecting the LGBTQ+ community from discrimination.
* Ban members of Congress from trading stock.
* Overturn Citizens United and get dark money out of politics.

With the Medicaid cuts looming, this 2018 interview is a reminder that we're fighting a historical battle, dating back hundreds of years, over who is worthy of being helped. We need to dismantle the worthiness-sorting ("means testing") bureaucracy to provide Medicare For All and other programs.

We should abolish Israel (and the USA, for that matter). Is it "proscription only because paid?" Of course not, Strawman. It's also dishonest to dismiss the reality that they are paid by Israel. Lastly, it is sophomoric to conflate anti-Zionism with antisemitism. That position is dead and rotten.

Outcome does not prove intent or lack thereof. Further, the proscription absolutely had a negative impact on the members of Palestine Action, unless you'd like to argue that jail time is desirable and legal proceedings are pleasant. Stifling dissent is how fascism works, and Israel is fascist.
