Titled “An Urgent Conversation with the American People,” the livestreamed discussion comes ahead of Congress’ return to session on Monday.
A statement released by both officials’ offices said in part, “Republican leaders have made clear their intention to use the coming weeks to advance a reckless budget scheme to President Trump’s desk that seeks to gut Medicaid, food assistance and basic needs programs that help people, all to give tax breaks to billionaires. Given what’s at stake, these could be some of the most consequential weeks for seniors, kids and families in generations.”
According to the statement, Rep. Jeffries and Sen. Booker plan to speak to shared American values and the nation’s religious and moral underpinnings, and how the budget bill opposes these beliefs. They also plan to affirm to Americans watching the livestream that their voices matter, especially in this moment in time.
I hope you have the day you voted for
I hope you enjoy the party you refuse to hold accountable.
At least I don’t love Trump like you.
I didn’t vote for fascism as you’re snidely implying. You know what they say about faulty conclusions.
I mean it plainly, I hope that you have the day that your vote directly influenced.
To be more specific, not voting for fascism is not the same as voting against it.
Then what is the point of you quipping a line that has been almost universally targeted at Trump voters to me?
As walkbacks go, this is particularly cringe.
Actually the line has always meant people who also did not vote, or voted for a third party knowing that it was just a vote that didn’t go against Trump.
I’m not walking back anything.
First, no it hasn’t. No-one would say “have the day you voted for” to someone who didn’t vote as it’s a ridiculous non sequitur.
Second, I didn’t do any of those things. You still not walking it back? Sticking to your guns when you’re dead wrong?
Yes. That is what it means.
Second, not everything online is an insult. If you have the day you voted for, and you voted for Harris (the only option in a sadly two party system), then I am wishing you a good day.
Sure you are buddy.
You have nice day.
Thank you.
The line has always been used to silence and bully into coerced obedience the people who most wanted progressive change. The people who have been calling for the party of Fascism Lite to step up their game.
Let me speak plainly: unconditional support for the Democratic Party from people like you is the mechanism by which we’ve landed where we are today. You refused to hold your party accountable so they put Trump into a position to win 2016. And I mean that quite literally, they did everything they could to make sure he won the primary because they knew they were putting a loser candidate up.
So get off your fucking high horse. I blame you for where we are. And before you come at me: I voted for Bernie in the 2016 & 2020 primaries. I voted for Hillary, Biden, and Kamala in the generals. I’ve voted in the way that would maximize opposition to fascism at every step. My conscience is clean. You continue to spew insults to people to your left to blame them for your Party’s failures. I blame only people to my right who want to keep running in that direction.
I hope you have the day you voted for.
I hope you don’t, because yours is today. Maybe actually read my comment to see what day I voted for, jackass.
I read it all. I hope you have the day you voted for. So, I hope you have a good day. I don’t disagree with you. The two party system is shit. I voted Bernie in the primary too.
