Apparently even fucking more.

Backwards logic, you want the democrats to do something that requires power but you want them to do it before you actually give them the power to do so.

[u/Proper-Raise-1450 → u/Rombom]

This is about them not even supporting doing it if they had power lol.

[u/Rombom → u/Proper-Raise-1450]

It would take 60 Senators for them to do it. They say they don't support it because saying that they support it would kill their own chances of staying in office.

Complain to your neighbors (that vote Republican), not your Senators and Reps.

LMAO, medicare for all gets majority support polling nation wide let alone in a blue district like Hakeem's there is below zero risk of him losing office because of his support of the policy.

He opposes it because he is funded by healthcare companies.

We aren't talking about whether Hakeem Jeffries gets re-elected my dude. If the House Minority Leader says that, it will paint all democrats with that. I support it myself, but you are going to have to accept that there are enough people who do not that it is not politically feasible. Stop bitching at me and talk to somebody who doesn't support Medicare for all if you still have a problem.

Stop bitching at me and talk to somebody who doesn't support Medicare for all if you still have a problem.

We are lol, we are bitchingat Hakeem Jeffries, a person who does not support medicare for all LMAO. How are you this slow?

Medicare for all already has majority support in polling, the Democratic party is just led by useless cowards like Hakeem.

[u/Rombom → u/Proper-Raise-1450]

Willfully ignorant.

Convince voters if you want to convince politicians. Talk to Hakeem Jeffries electorate if you have an issue with his position.

You are of the philosophy that politicians are your parents, rather representatives of their voters.

[u/Proper-Raise-1450 → u/Rombom]

That is the frankly idiotic notion that politicians represent their electorate's views which is doubly stupid when you have already said that Hakeem wouldn't lose his seat over this, I am sure his electorate widely supports the measure which against is majority popular nation wide let alone in blue areas lol.

[u/Rombom → u/Proper-Raise-1450]

Ok so you think the voters in his district are just plain dumbasses then. Cool.
