Summary
Democrats must reclaim their identity as the party of the working class to regain electoral strength.
Despite pro-labor policies under Biden, working-class voters feel disconnected, seeing Democrats as defenders of a failing system.
The party’s decline traces back to NAFTA and neoliberal economic policies that favored corporations over workers.
A generational effort to prioritize labor rights, fair wages, and economic security while addressing working-class frustrations are needed.
Without serious reform, Democrats will continue losing ground to populist alternatives.
They voted on singlepayer and it lost by Independent Joe Liebermans vote.
You cannot blame that on the DNC.
They have never once voted on single payer.
Then I guess Barrack Obama and thousands of protestors all halucinated it back in December 2009
Even Nancy Pelosi, who passed the bill in the house with 218 votes, has multiple comments about it being removed in the Senate.
That’s not single payer.
Its effectively single payer in that private insurance cannot compete with it.
It is nothing at all like single payer. At best it’s a slightly less shitty insurance.
It’s not tangibly different than the “universal healthcare” people talk about in Europe. It was even called Singlepayer by Joe Lieberman while he vowed to vote against it.
It is very different. Just because you and Joe don’t understand it, doesn’t mean you can misrepresent it like that.
