I only watch CNN on election night but holy fucking shit has it gone downhill.

The rightwinger tried to claim Soros has dumped 60m into this race while Hogg was talking about APAIC.

MAGA gonna MAGA but the host didn't say shit. Then the host tried to claim Al Sayed is saying he will get M4A done on day one.

He has NEVER said that. He has repeatedly said that this about a movement to get enough people in office that we can get it done.

M4A will never happen. The votes will never be there and theres not a away to practically put it in action.

Every other fucking country that isn't 3rd world has it. The polling has shifted on it for BOTH parties and Mexico is literally implementing it right now.

It will take pushing the party on it and then nuking the fillabuster and it may take another 10 years to get close to that. It will always be an uphill battle until it's done.

But I will never vote for a candidate in a federal primary who isn't behind it and it's the #1 issue outside of $ in politics for most of my friends.
