with the Repubs, the millionaires/billionaires, and Corporate America. The real problem is the corporate Dems, who want to kill the raising of taxes on the Rich & Corporate, BUT without leaving any fingerprints.

3. It's not even about the cost of the bill, it's about Big $$$$'s interests

One panel Democrat, Rep. Scott Peters (D-Calif.) voted against its advance. Peters previously has opposed its inclusion of prescription drug pricing reforms, siding with the pharmaceutical industry in arguing Democrats’ current plan could curtail cutting-edge research. His stance offered a sign of the stakes Pelosi and the rest of the party face in navigating a delicate legislative process with so few votes to spare.

Allowing Medicare to negotiate prices with Big Pharma costs the taxpayers NOTHING, yet it's one of the big stumbling blocks in enacting president biden's "Build Back Better" agenda.

Tweets are short enough to help simplify and boil down the points we need to make - and spread.

11. We need to get more voice on the media...

The Democrats are doing a lousy job of getting on the networks and telling exactly what is in the proposal. This is crazy.

All we hear them talk about is the price tag and the Republicans being unwilling to move forward, along with machin and sinema.

Here we go again....democrat's DNC lost and confused....unable to out-skill the gQp at messaging.

This makes it really hard to support the party. They really need to analyze the smarts/direction of these supporting entities. They have ZERO message or plan for getting out WHAT IS IN THE BILL! Instead they put stooges on who omit any information of what is at stake...and they "defend the pricetag.👿 Such simple leadership that they don't see how we are being out maneuvered.

The gQp is WAAAAY smarter with the strategy and the information necessary to spew.

We need serious help.
