‘One Big Beautiful Bill Act’ is projected to cut nearly $1 trillion in Medicaid spending over the next decade. Parents with sick kids and doctors tell Rhian Lubin the cuts are ‘final nail in the coffin’
You’re assuming that registration = vote, when that’s not necessarily the case. In areas where Republicans are the majority (like Louisiana) it’s not uncommon for left leaning people to register and vote in the Republican primaries and then vote Democratic in the election, because the only real time they have a voice in the political process is trying to get the least shitty Republican on the ballot.
Do I know that’s what happened here? No. And neither do you. It’s a victim blaming distraction from the fact that this administration is allowing disabled children to suffer and die.

Yeah, this is me. I live in a district that will 100% without a doubt always go red. It’s gerrymandered to hell and back, and a democrat has absolutely zero chance of winning here… So I register R, and vote for the least crazy republican in the primaries. Because that’s the only time my vote will actually have any impact on the result. Whoever wins the republican primary will win the district, (and any democrat would be better than the crazies coming out of the Republican Party), so I try to influence the former as much as possible. Then I vote blue in the general so my stats are counted as a blue vote.
