Good read. I am not familiar with the podcast you mentioned ..I am old-fashioned ;-/. Text remains my preferred mode of communication.
I really liked this part:
Now, I wanted two things: first, for Democrats to break republicans, and second, to be 100% sure that people had food and health care. That would seem the least a civilized society could provide. Deep down, of course, I favor improving our educational system, including lowering the cost of public colleges and universities.
That may be in large part because I am convinced that one of the most dangerously entrenched problems today is economic warfare. It seems we are to avoid talking about this in proper society. We can talk about sexism, racism, street crime, inflation, and the president's tiny, mushroom-shaped prick, as one of my friends recently pointed out. But not how the opulently wealthy are treating the vast majority of American citizens. Thus, I will not even so much as hint at the context in which I view the cruelty involved in current events.

Progressive or not, we need to weed out cowards. This is Armageddon for democracy.

The problem is that this deal won't get people health care. Their premiums are going to sky rocket

It's sad, but I fear the Senate acted just as the founding fathers intended...to prevent mob-rule, aka democracy.
