Hi there,
Ever wondered why you can’t describe a Republican plan for health care?
… or climate change?
… or reducing gun violence?
… or battling a pandemic?
That’s because there isn’t one.
The GOP has controlled the presidency for almost the last four years and held unified control of government for two of those years. And yet Americans continue to pay twice as much for health care as the citizens of any other major country, the threats from climate change have risen from largely theoretical to urgent and devastating, and over 36,000 Americans are killed by guns every year.
And in the face of all these challenges, the GOP hasn’t lifted a finger.
Worse, they’ve fought to strip away Americans’ pre-existing conditions, allow Big Polluters to run rampant around the country, and made it easier for people who should not have a gun to obtain one.
And that’s the difference between Democrats and Republicans in Congress. It’s not that they have different plans for addressing our nation’s biggest problems -- it’s that one party has plans, and one party wants to throw spitballs at those plans from the back of the classroom.
Is it any wonder then, that in the middle of a pandemic, Democrats like Elizabeth Warren are unveiling comprehensive plans to move our nation forward, while the Republican stooge-in-chief can’t even be convinced to wear a facemask? Is it any wonder that Republican leadership has marshalled a historically bad response to the pandemic -- a national embarrassment that’s proved less effective than almost every other major country’s by nearly every metric?
Unfortunately, the last four years have proven that if we want the government to value our top priorities, we can’t remain spectators any longer.
The Republicans aren’t interested in compromise. All that’s left to do, then, is to beat them in November.
When Democrats Turn Out is laser-focused on electing Democrats with a broad spectrum of progressive ideas so that together, we can make health care more accessible and affordable, fight climate change, address gun violence, and even turn the tide against the pandemic.
Thank you for your support,
