We need a new generation of leadership with the energy and the courage to take on the powerful special interests who have rigged this system against working families!

And for what? To stop an outsider candidate named Graham Platner. This is the kind of bankrupt, status-quo thinking that fails the American people every single day.

Let’s be crystal clear. The DSCC is not some faceless entity.
It is led by Kirsten Gillibrand, Mark Kelly, Adam Schiff, and Lisa Rochester.

And what are they doing? They are asking you to open your wallets for (what would be) the oldest freshman senator in American history.

Graham Platner for Senate @grahamformaine.bsky.social · 1d

Chuck Schumer should be focused on fighting Donald Trump and protecting healthcare for millions of Americans, not meddling in a Maine primary.

DC's choice has lost to Susan Collins five times in a row. We can't afford a sixth.

It’s cheaper to let someone die than to save them with a procedure they cannot afford.

Healthcare shouldn’t be a for profit business. #Medicare4All

"Patient deaths increased in the emergency rooms of hospitals that were bought by private equity firms," per Harvard University.

Remember: Undocumented immigrants pay billions of dollars in taxes every year.

They pay into government funded healthcare programs, but can't access them except in case of emergency.

Emergency Medicaid spending accounted for less than 1% of total Medicaid spending in 2023.

Billionaires will always side with fascists, because fascism inherently benefits billionaires.

This mentality reveals everything that’s wrong with the current D leadership.

KEY FACTS
• In a 40-minute-long interview on
MSNBC, Harris told host Rachel Maddow she had always believed that "titans of industry" would serve as a guardrail for democracy in the
country.

When I need to people to understand is the rich are already socialists. They love handouts, bailouts, and welfare from the government/taxpayers.

Socialism for the rich, rugged individualism for the poor.

When Disney+ launched it was $6.99 a month with no ads. It will now be $18.99 a month with no ads.

End corporate greed now.
End price gouging now.

Corporate leaders openly admit that they will side with fascism over democracy, when democracy may produce policies they can’t profit from.
