Our side - Schumer - does not generate enthusiasm. When we see and hear Schumer there is nothing there that calls to climb the barricades, to protest.

But, frankly, as I am reading your post I am forced to wonder how many will be affected by these cuts in health care costs. Of course, we, Democrats always consider the most disadvantaged ones but perhaps, I don’t know, now it does not help us.

How many who are not paid, who cannot apply for Social Security will get out to protest.

Forget about the No King rallies, where are the people personally affected?

I am not even sure how coherent I am. Someone will probably alert that I “repeat right wing talks..”
