Rep Al Green of Texas was the 1 Democrat willing to get in Good Trouble & condemn Trump's plan to gut $880B from Medicaid—his reward is public censure...from fellow Democrats
That you are a civil rights lawyer, means your head is in the right place. All of your writings demonstrate striving for justice, and so well-written. It was a pleasure to read all your writings. Thank you for truth and clarity.
I am extremely disappointed that these 10 Democrats had Al Green censured. I was especially disappointed with Jared Moskowitz, as he is always outspoken about the horrible situations going on. I phoned him and left a lengthy message with my displeasure. I am going to call the others tomorrow and leave a message, just not quite as stern as I left Jared, as I am not familiar with them, and he used to be one of the good guys.
For years my father a life long Democrat would say that sadly Democrats eat their young - I hated the phrase but he was right - I think it’s time to shut down the infighting and coalesce around the biggest threat and stop fighting Democrat against Democrat- enough with the infighting-enough with the censoring of the wrong guy- it plays into the hand of the fascists. If you’re infighting you’re weakening your team. Knock it off and fight for our Democracy! Petty grievances need to be checked we got a bigger set of targets for our anger right now. Democrats aren’t the ones driving the bus off the cliff that would be the Republican Party - save your rage for them - spare your young!
Thank you for taking the time to list these reps along with their phone numbers. I have donated to several of them in the past and will call them. Voting in support of censure was inappropriate. Most are in right leaning areas, and if they need to respond to their constituents, it would be appropriate to let then know they will begin censuring democrats for outbursts, when republicans are also censured. Republicans have been putting on a side show for years, showing the utmost contempt for President Biden and others. Expressing moral outrage loudly and emphatically is appropriate these days.
I freely admit AT FIRST I did not appreciate how Al Green behaved. Between some serious thinking and this article I could not agree more. I find myself compelled to spread you article AND discuss with many WHY we must address the issue. Democrats must start calling a spade a spade!
THANK YOU! I’m normally a person who believes in decorum but do they not recognize that this really requires stronger measures. It was the cowardice of the Republican politicians that brought us Trump. It’s now the cowardice of the Democratic politicians that will keep Trump And MAGA in power.
II have spent my ENITRE life fighting for social justice & equitable democracy. After watching this antic from DEM ENABLERS of EVIL -the sack-retracted 10- I changed my political party. Apparently, DEMS prefer to fear the 4th REICH INSTEAD of LISTENING to US.
OKAY. UNDERSTOOD.
LET the DEMS WORRY ABOUT PROGRESSIVE INDEPENDENTS TANKING THEIR PRE-PURCHASED CANDIDATES.
HERE IS HOW WE DO IT:
1. Find out how long you have to declare your party before a primary. Switch from unaffiliated to DEM just for the primary.
2. PRIMARY: VOTE the PROGRESSIVES IN BY UNPRECEDENTED NUMBERS.
3. After the PRIMARY, SWITCH BACK to INDEPENDENT.
4. Now you have better choices for an election and a candidate WHO IS NOT so old they shared clothes with King TUT.
5. You can also switch to refulkkkkan and split their primary. Then switch back.
ELECTEDS WORK for US. REMIND THEM OF OUR POWER.
6. The DEMS have dirty consultants who are russian moles. They tell the DEMS to be centrist. They get PAID to program DEMS. And, because DEMS refused to adhere to SEPARATION of church & state they easily absorb silenced battered spouse behavior. -Just like its is a religious directive from a sky puppet. (ALL RELIGIONS ARE a programming running in your brain. Nothing else.)
DEMS need a divorce from their "enabling battered spouse" programmers. And, fuk kkkatlocism: fascists & peedos from jump. They are the LARGEST real-estate holder on EARTH. YOU ARE BOWING to ROBBER BARRONS. Read the history.
I’ve written my repo, Houlihan and Hakim Jeffries, mincing no words. I hope everyone joins me also in donating to Al Green. This is what we must do when the brave ones are attacked.
Thank you for this. Not only have I called representative greens office to thank him. I have also called every single person on your list. What they did was shameful and not representative of those they serve.
Gasim, thank you so much for the phone numbers of the congressional representatives. First thing this morning I have called and left a message at nine out of the ten, one has a full mailbox.
This is a great service providing and empowering us with this information.

For a country LAST In Healthcare among the industrialized nations....this was pathetic.

Reading this thread if it is representative of most Dems—then, a third, truly viable third party might be emerging.
Would it attract all purple people—left and right of center—left and right of blind loyalty to a party over principles?
Primary all of them !!!

Dressing in pink was a protest? Who the hell knew??
I’m so sick of lameness from democrat “leaders”. What a joke!
Go Al Green!! AOC !! & Jasmine Crockett!! And goddamn the 10 above.

Absolutely excellent spot on post.

Those Democrats should be voted out and elected. Democrats would actually do their jobs correctly and represent their people.
