Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.

Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.

Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.

It’s incredible how Democrat sentiment is so bad in the face of this. Millions poured into consultants, and they can’t figure it out?
Their vocabulary should be two words:
Epstein.
Trumpcare.
That’s it.
That’s all they need to say to win.
If they’re feeling frisky, sprinkle in a “huh, you know, maybe a few near-trillionaire buddies of the president shouldn’t rob you with AI?”
They were literally handed a actual pedo cabal and a direct existential crisis even hardcore Republicans are feeling anxiety over, on a silver platter. And somehow they’re messing that up?
I’m dysfunctional as hell, and even I couldn’t mess that up.
The BEST Route is to NOT get Political and ALSO not use ANY Leverage we may have as THAT will be Seen as Political! Run on PARDONING the Pedophiles and TRYING to Bring down Healthcare Costs we Caused to skyrocket!
-Highly Paid Democratic Strategists who KEEP losing but somehow STILL get Paid MILLIONS!
I have a feeling, that those consultant might be "double agents".
consultants, probably think tanks/ donors of both parties.
the oldguard DNC arnt risking biting the hands that feed them.
Lemmy users are not representative of the average voter.
The issue is that democrats would rather lose elections than make healthcare affordable. It's not bad strategy, it's the logical consequence of their interests
You don't understand that the majority of americans aren't willing to pay for any tax increase to pay for public healthcare. As soon as you mention it the media and opposition go off on socialism and taxes and the voters go "Omg! Evil socialism!!"
USians don't need to pay for tax increases to pay for public healthcare, USians already pay exceedingly expensive healthcare. Government expenditure doesn't come from taxes, the federal reserve can literally create money at will at a keystroke. Expropriation of the existing hospitals and clinics by the state would already make healthcare much cheaper than it is, because right now the wealth is siphoned off to rich people and corporations.
Centrist Democrats are paid to lose.
Centrist is being extremely generous.
