But couldn’t every Dem in the house just vote for it knowing it would die in the Senate and even if it made it through there that it would be veto’d by Joe? Their donors surely understand hiding your true colors to retain power
Not trying to go after you here, but these are thoughts I’ve had about this issue
Yeah definitely didn’t go out there to get reactions to the take, just happened upon a thread.
I guess my biggest question with this is how do you parley this vote into a vehicle for radicalization? Wouldn’t the media not cover the vote as much as they can and then give cover to those who do come under fire? Americans notoriously have a short attention span, so hoping this sticks until primary season seems optimistic.
I’m not saying the vote happening would be bad, more than it seems like a lot of energy expended within a corporate controlled system for very little gain. Open to having my mind changed.
If people don’t realize now that their elected officials don’t care about them with a measly $600 check after months of nothing, how is a failed vote on m4a going to radicalize anyone?
I’m legitimately asking, I tried on r*ddit and just got yelled at. Just seems like it is pointless to put so much effort into something like a lost vote for something that probably won’t do anything to radicalize normies. No one (that isn’t already radicalized to some degree) cares that Joe is president and said he’d veto it, so how is this different?
Liberals will just run saying they believe in healthcare as a right while not supporting m4a in primaries to trick people just like ossof is doing in ga now
I feel the same as OP and anytime I hear this it’s not very helpful, not to rag on your specifically. The issue for me isn’t so much the not existing part but thinking about the fact that I will no longer experience anything. Not very eloquent, but it’s hard for me to put into words.
I know transhumanists get shit on for plenty of perfectly valid reasons, but if someone offered for me to be cryosleeped to be brought back or the opportunity to be loaded into a computer I’d take it without missing a beat. I can’t wrap my head around just being over.
