President Biden is planning to make more surgical trips to minority communities in 2024 to reinforce the paid advertising his campaign is broadcasting directly to Black and Hispanic voters, according to people familiar with the matter.

        He’s not getting it through a Republican House, but he could use it to get a Democratic House. Getting the party lined up behind it would be a massive step in the right direction.

          Not gonna happen in the next 15 years, at best. Obama’s apparatus has to be out of the picture for that to have a chance at happening.

          Meanwhile, we also have to eliminate vultures like Gottheimer, Coons, and Warner who would stand in the way of anything approaching medicare for all, because it would not be helpful to their shareholders.

          It’s all academic, though. Dems have only the tiniest hope of regaining the house, probably with a majority as slim as what the GOP currently enjoys. 2024 Senate is nearly a lost cause, with Joe Manchin dropping out of WV, and it being a shitty electoral calendar for Senate Democrats to begin with.

          In re the Presidential race: coin flip at best between Biden and Trump, and neither of them are fans of giving people healthcare without corporations making obscene profits.

            Obama’s The Clinton apparatus has to be out of the picture for that to have a chance at happening.

            Fixed that for you. The DNC and so-called centrist (actually right wing) Democrats have operated the same way since 1992 and they don’t understand why people are fed up with that in 2023.

              Can’t disagree with you there. I went with “Obama” instead of “Clinton” because Obama’s staffers and appointees will be around longer than Clinton’s.

              Clinton definitely cemented this playbook as doctrine, but Obama followed it to the letter.

                Well some of Obama’s people WERE original Clinton people such as James “The Ragin’ Cajun” Carville and, worst of all, Henry Kissinger.

                You’re right, though, the Clintonites Obama brought in, will be around for longer.

          If super majority, bullet proof, California can’t pass universal healthcare it certainly wouldn’t happen with more federal Dems in power. They serve capital first which includes healthcare profits

        With a senate that has at least 41 Republicans and centrist Democrats in any combination?

        Disingenuous ruling from politifact. Whether or not they deem his answer “definitive and concise” and pretend that he has a better plan, it was a mask off moment.

        This is the man who’s repeatedly argued for CUTS to Medicare and Medicaid and he hasn’t changed since then.
