      I’d settle with healthcare + prosecuting currupt actors currently running things

      Where are the Democratic think tanks that could be figuring this out well before a Democratic majority exists? It’s Congress that will need to write and pass the massive legislative package.

      Funny, I criticized the internal DNC election candidates over this not even a year ago and I got flamed by party sycophants saying I shouldn’t work to divide the party over a wedge issue

      A fucking wedge issue. The people arguing that UHC is a wedge issue and *not a fucking party plank* should be thrown into the trash.

      I don’t know about The Hill’s political leaning, but I feel like the quote they pulled for that headline misses the forest for the trees…

      The real pull from what Walz said is this:

      >“…it has to be about not holding power for the sake of holding power, it has to be about passing things,”

      He’s not talking specifically about universal health care. He’s talking about actually committing to true progressive action when progressives take back control of the government.

      And he’s damn right about that. Sitting on their hands just isn’t good enough anymore.

      >it has to be about not holding power for the sake of holding power, it has to be about passing things

      well, at least one of them can admit it. if you wanted to easily summarize why i left the DNC, it’s that right there. at least i know i’m not crazy, cuz there’s NO WAY you can allude to all these things for decades and just not do them. they lost me, but as i was just saying earlier, their best chance at winning, will be appeasing the actual progressives. there’s no moderates left in the party other than the establishment itself.

      Nah, Americans seem very happy paying the same tax rate as nations with universal healthcare and funding wars with Israel instead

    9. Avoidtolls on

      I’m already paying for the most expensive demographic. Let’s just get the rest.

      Next problem.

      If they are not going to make republicans responsible for the blatant corruption and rampant criminality, and instead they choose to pose next to trump for “unity” or whatever, nothing will change.

    11. The-Questcoast on

      But first there needs to be criminal prosecution of the current administration…and NOT two years into their term!

    16. TheDukeofArgyll on

      Dems better figure out how to give the American people something or they are cooked.

    17. IJustLookLikeThis13 on

      I know, I know… we’ll cut back spending on the military, defund the expanded ICE budget, tax the wealthiest among us just a bit more to make a HUGE difference, and then not do so much stupid shit.

    18. zaccus on

      It’s 2026 right now. Let’s assume the midterms go ok but not as well as we hope. What’s the fucking game plan?

    19. Spicydooky on

      How about reversing citizens united, term limits, ranked choice nation wide, and enforce ethics on Supreme court.

    20. TheFalconKid on

      Just a heads up, the top leading contenders Harris, Newsom, and Buttigeig have no plans for universal healthcare.

    22. LostInSpace-2245 on

      The DEM leadership better forget bipartisan efforts like dems did for the ACA and resulted in crap. Ram it figurately down their throats.

    23. Blackbyrn on

      Unions, become the party of working class people who are organized and know how to fight to make things better.

    24. Graybeard_Shaving on

      Never gonna happen. Wish it would but I’ve been alive on this rock long enough to know it won’t. At best, you might be able to get a public option by opening up Medicare to those without employer based insurance.

    25. Hyperica on

      „Universal healthcare or fuck off“ is like 90% of my political stance these days.

    26. UniqueEmotion2144 on

      The next democratic president is going to spend all his time digging us out of the bottomless pit, that shitstain has us in. 

    27. GarmaCyro on

      I agree to this based on a single view.
      Look at GOP’s actions for the past 1.5 year.
      The tax rebates to the upper class. Golden public sector contracts to private donors.
      The various invasions and attacks they’ve led on other nations.
      All of Trump’s insane remodeling and building projects purely based on his need to showcase wealth and power.
      The number of „cutting government waste“ that ended up costing more than it „saved“, and has caused still unknown amounts of damage.

      Yes. The US economy and government can bloody afford universal healthcare, and every other support system other wealthy nations grants its citizens. US is supposed to have among the highest GPD per capita.
      Of course it can afford it all, and much more.

    29. Lurid-Jester on

      While I’m all for universal healthcare, what I’d really like to see are trials. For far too long we’ve watched corrupt officials flagrantly breaking the law with zero consequences.

      Heads need to roll (figuratively?) for the shit they’ve put this country through over the last decade+.

    30. Smithy2232 on

      Yes, we have to have universal health care. It will help society in a number of ways.

    31. JohnnyWeapon on

      With the amount of money this administration is blowing on idiotic shit, there’s no excuse. The money clearly exists. If politicians actually existed to enact good for the people, this wouldn’t even be a discussion. It has to be bipartisan, like, tell me a single person who wouldn’t like to not worry about whether or not they should go see a doctor because of the cost.

    32. nuckle on

      There is a lot they need to figure out. How the fuck are they going to keep what is happening from happening again is probably the thing they REALLY need to figure out. Not fucking around with prosecutions like Joe did and cleaning up media should be up there too.

      MAGA wanted to the Hungary model, Dems need to follow the new Hungary model while cleaning this shit up.

    33. 7figureipo on

      The next Dem president better figure out how to get the GOP labeled as a seditious, rebellious organization so they can be treated like defeated enemy combatants.

      Universal healthcare won’t mean shit if in 2-4 years the next maga fascist just dismantled it illegally via EO or whatever

    34. gamehenge_survivor on

      The next Democratic president needs to actually prosecute, prosecute, prosecute! It doesn’t matter what you do regarding health care, wealth discrepancy, foreign policy, etc. If you don’t prosecute the bad actors over what will by then be 12 years of Trump rule/outdue influence, then they will just roll back everything democrats do next time they force themselves in.

    36. Floreat_democratia on

      Weird how there is unlimited money for war but nothing for education, health care, environmental protection or renewable energy. Funny, that.

    37. BRich1990 on

      We really need more worker protections too.

      You should be legally allowed to just layoff people the way we do. All layoffs should come with a 2 month advanced notice period.

      Layoffs destroy lives and are one of the factors behind the increasing instability of the population (yet no one talks about them).

      Expand the WARN act

    38. Effective-Notice3867 on

      That shit is the bare minimum , I want more than that bullshit and don’t say we can’t afford it

    39. 4RCH43ON on

      The Democratic Party better get it ass in gear and drop the centrist baggage and the lousy leadership of the party machinery that has allowed right-wing ratcheting or its all over.

    40. whenisnowthen on

      I cannot believe that the people of this country don’t make this a top three voting issue. The healthcare industry keeps you tied to a job you don’t like, there are tax penalties if you don’t have healthcare. If you want to start a business the health insurance can put you out of an otherwise profitable business because you have no clout to negotiate down to just a ridiculous price as opposed to a horrific price. You are paying so much money every week from your paycheck and your „benefits“ can change on a whim. If you get sick the purpose of the insurance company is to make money for the insurance company, not to make you well. You keep paying for drugs for decades, you pay extraordinary amounts if you need a procedure, and when all of your financial resources are exhausted, you are left to die.

      Did he not run as VP with someone who wasn’t running on Universal Healthcare? Like bro is part of the problem.

    43. 40_Is_Not_Old on

      You want Universal Healthcare? Control of the House & 60 seats in the Senate are every bit as important, if not more important, then having a Democratic President. The most important being a filibuster proof majority in the Senate.

    46. TheDeclineOfAll on

      The next democratic president better have a platform that they are willing to act on and backbone because both are seriously lacking right now.

    47. No-Scale6521 on

      We had one. His name is Bernie Sanders, but the Democrats saw to it that he wasn’t nominated.

    48. BeepBoopRobotVoice on

      Maybe a start would be don’t go to war to cover up the Epstein files. Next, maybe tax rich folks at 99%.
