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.
It’s fucking hilarious how you all try to change the meaning of “the left.”
The left has always been the Democratic Party, bud. And while it can be inclusive to other sociological and political ideologies, at its core, the democrats have been at its epicenter.
Maybe look up when the term originated from?
To me, all attempts to co-opt the term appear to only be accepted by those that like to misuse it, constantly.
Uh, no? The Democratic Party doesn’t define the left. The Democratic Party left the left. Here’s a bit right from Wikipedia.
I haven’t seen the Democratic Party pay anything but lip service to the definition of the left in a long time. Neoliberalism, which is the party line right now, is a right wing ideology.
From your own article:
“In France, where the terms originated, the left has been called “the party of movement” or liberal”
And since “liberal” is synonymous with democrats…
The left are democrats.
This was fun!
If left means progress and Democrats are left why did Biden not close down Trump’s concentration camps and then use them twice as much.
Why did Biden sell more protected land than any other president?
Approve more drilling?
Continue a genocide?
Like really come on. There’s is the fascist party and the new Republican party. Get a grip.
The Republicans don’t call themselves Nazis, and yet they are the party of Nazis. Turns out you can’t trust a group’s self-applied label to accurately describe what they stand for in perpetuity.
Turns out when “leftists” are proven wrong, they resort to whataboutism, and strangely compare themselves to the Nazi party.
Oh, and by the way, remember what I said you aren’t the left?
