1. Why are Democrats using a political argument

for this Death Bill? It is too long to the mid-terms.

This Big Beautiful Death Bill has billions of dollars gutted from Medicaid, billions of dollars gutted from Obamacare, and billions of dollars gutted from Medicare. This bill is a death bill for millions of Americans. It will kill or shorten the lives of millions of Americans.

Fuck the political implications, this is about life and death and if Democrats can't navigate that message we are doomed.

Should be doing town halls like they did for the fired government workers. Have people at town halls telling real life experiences and do them in red districts.

2. Too many Dems don't understand messaging has to be simple for the masses. No more long winded

Doctoral arguements about the ramifications of this and that - KISS - "Cutting Medicare puts people on the street and kills people." Say it a THOUSAND times a day across the country, in committee and on air - the political ramifications will take care of themselves IMO.

3. Call your reps.

Link to Bluesky post, Jessica Craven.

BREAKING: Republicans’ “death bill” would automatically cut 0 billion from Medicare. No, that’s not a typo. I didn’t mean Medicaid—although it cuts that too. From Medicare.

Please use the script in thread to call your rep right now. Tell everybody you know to do the same. We must stop this.
