Dems should make this a national story but they wont.


I think they might try. This is a big play in elections. Wisconsin in particular is like the fattest state in the country or some shyt, they need to go at Johnson as hard as they can for his no vote.



Edit: more specifically, Milwaukee is one of the fattest cities. Wisconsin is not the fattest state. Still, this should hurt Johnson if they play it right.

they'll just treat it like that senator from louisiana that said if you ignore black women, his state's maternal death rates are good. if you ignore "milwaukee" we're not so unhealthy.

Yea a bill about lowering medication that correlates with the food industry isnt gonna get passed the big boys who run the country. Thats their pockets getting hit. Bill has no chance at all.

They DID pass it in regards to Medicare. They just didn't pass it with private insurance. It only lost by 3 votes (got 7 republicans but need 10), they might try it as a stand-alone bill later this year to further pressure on the Republicans.
