The public option sounds like a step toward universal health care, but it’s really a delay tactic.
The latest versions would force public plans to mimic private insurers, while the fight over the arcane details buys the industry another decade or two. jacobin.com/2026/11/public-o…

🇺🇸 Thousands march through Times Square under “No Schumer, No Jeffries” signs after Democrats win the House and Senate
It's called "March for Our Democracy", and it celebrates the midterm results while pressuring the party’s incoming leadership.
Progressive groups are calling for contested votes instead of automatically returning Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries to their posts.
The split within the Democratic Party is now openly visible, even before the new Congress takes office.

🔵 Hassan Piker Calls for the Democrats to elect Bernie Sanders as majority leader

It's funny that the NY/DC politics/media bubble is having trouble cognitively comprehending something simple: Bernie-style anti-oligarch populism is centrism/moderate politics. This reality runs so counter to the fictional world they imagine that they're not yet able to grasp it.
New w/ @AlexThomp: Democrats of all political stripes won so big on Tuesday that each faction of the party has some reasons to claim they can beat the GOP in 2028.
What happens next for the party is "a big question mark," said Lauren Hitt, a Democratic strategist who advises moderates and progressives.
"We're going to spend a year fighting out who actually has the mandate — left/center/populist — and then in 2028 we'll have our answer." axios.com/2026/11/05/democra…

This seems reasonable.
There may be others. Not Schumer.

Rep. Ro Khanna told Breaking Points he plans to press Hakeem Jeffries for commitments to defund the U.S. war on Iran, hold a vote to eliminate military aid to Israel, and advance Medicare for All as Jeffries seeks the House speakership.
Democrats will hold their internal leadership elections beginning November 18, when Jeffries needs only a simple majority of the Democratic caucus to secure the nomination.
“We can’t be to the right of Donald Trump when it comes to funding Israel,” Khanna said, who previously told Drop Site he also opposes “offensive” military sales to Israel.
When asked whether he would withhold his vote if Jeffries refused any of his commitments, Khanna stopped short of stating that explicitly, saying he believes progressives can secure the concessions.

Hakeem Jeffries meeting privately with Jared Kushner should disqualify him from being Speaker of the House. Full stop.

I was on CNN discussing how the 2026 election proved that @BernieSanders' anti-oligarch populism is mainstream, centrist, moderate politics that is needed to win red states - and how Corporate Dems' entire political theory has been rejected by America.
