Senate Democrats are about to reopen the government while leaving Americans in need of health care subsidies out to dry -- and in some cases die!

Radio Free Trumpistan reshared this.

Looks like the US needs to have a new party, an actual social democratic party maybe, with all new people...

@wonka Impossible. There is no practical way to break the 2-party system here. Any attempts will ALWAYS act only as spoilers.

@Lauren Weinstein @Wilfried Klaebe
Never say "never". While there are a smorgasbord of minor parties since like forever, there's one minority party attempting to break that barrier because it consists of the infamous automatic ballot access restrictions at state level. It's Andrew Yang's Forward Party.

I'm sure he's got all the angles calculated, though. I never pictured Yang as a tech bro tho. He's got more brains than the typical political animal, you gotta give him credit for that.

@wonka More than likely the system itself will collapse...

(People do not appreciate being starved or having their health care taken away to score political points... they also have the knowledge that there is no way to get out since they can screw with systems like airspace writ large)

Getting nothing in return is on message. While it should result in many Democrats losing their primaries it probably won't so we're stuck choosing the lesser of 2 evils again.

It will be fun to hear MAGA blame the Democrats for their healthcare premiums going up, which is true if they caven in.
