The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

I have no intention of ever being in the same political party with that guy.

Bill Maher is saying the same thing. So the corporatist, pro-Israel, Dems sound just like the NeoCon, pro-Israel GOP. selling "we the people" out to their corporate and Israeli paymasters.

Meanwhile the MAGA base, and the DSA, are more concerned with advancing the interests of USians.

6 in 10 Americans Back Medicare for All — Poll

According to an Economist/YouGov poll published earlier this week, 59 percent of Americans back the idea of Medicare for All. Only 27 percent of those polled said they did not support the idea.

among respondents who said they voted for Trump in 2024, only 46 percent said they viewed the system favorably, while 48 percent said they did not — an indication that voters across the political spectrum recognize a failure of the status quo.

While Trump’s newly passed “Big Beautiful Bill” gutted Medicaid spending by hundreds of billions of dollars, poll after poll has shown that a majority of voters want just the opposite — more spending for the program, not less.

Americans Overwhelmingly Support Paid Family And Medical Leave

Overwhelming and bipartisan majorities support the creation of such a program, including more than three in four independents (76%) and seven in ten Republicans (70%); more than three in four across racial and ethnic groups support the plan.

But money talks. Dem and Repub alike, want to give more money to the "JCs", not "we the people".
