| "Failing to do so created an opening for Republicans to strip a $35 insulin price cap for those on private insurance from the bill, meaning the nation's diabetics who aren't on Medicare or Medicaid will continue to fork over exorbitant amounts of money to keep themselves alive or not emphasis added).'" | Negative | -4% Liberal |
| "The bill revives the largest oil and gas lease sale in history that Biden had plaed in the Gulf of Mexico before a judge blocked it on account of its climate impact and makes the expansion of solar and wind energy infrastructure on federal lands and waters contingent on also selling a total of hundreds of millions of acres of those same lands and waters for oil and gas leasing.''Last, as part of Schumer and Manchin's gentlemen's agreement, the Democrats will soon slash permitting regulations, letting fossil fuel infrastructure like pipelines and export facilities get built more quickly and easily, locking us into yet more carbon emissions." | Negative | -18% Liberal |
| "At the same time, the Dems have hardly distinguished themselves on this issue when abortion was constitutionally protected (January 22, 1973 -June 24, 2022)." | Negative | -20% Liberal |
| "Meanwhile, the irrelevant Senate parliamentarian struck out the bill's limits on drug prices for private insurance, something Democrats could simply overrule, as has been done many times, but that they once more chose not to." | Negative | -24% Liberal |
| "And it is counter-productive even on narrow identity grounds: by helping the right win on a key part of the Christian fascist agenda (abortion rights) and casting a dark shadow on transgender activism, it ironically empowers future Christian fascist assaults on gay, lesbian, transgender, and non-binary people." | Negative | -40% Liberal |
| "Since Roe fell, the Dem president Biden has despicably failed to properly declare the attack on abortion as a national public health emergency (a status just granted to Monkey-Pox) or to properly provide legal abortion services on federal lands and military bases across the land." | Negative | -58% Liberal |
| "The more this bill gets talked up as a triumph on climate, the more the momentum for Biden and Congress to take necessary action recedes, as does the urgency of climate policy more generally." | Positive | 10% Conservative |
| "Nevada: Jim Marchant, the new Republican nominee for secretary of state." | Positive | 8% Conservative |
| "It's bad enough that Democrats function as the Republi-fascists' enabling partner in numerous ways (see this, this, this, and this): demobilizing the majority working-class non-Republican electorate though cringing subordination to corporate, financial, and military-industrial authority; legitimizing right-wing agendas and narratives by embracing them; relentlessly seeking bipartisan cooperation with a militantly partisan neofascist party (the post-republic/-bourgeois-democracy Republicans); refusing to attack archaic minority rule institutions and practices that inflate the Republifascists' power (including the Electoral College, the preposterously malapportioned, unrepresentative, and powerful nature of the U.S. Senate, the Senate filibuster, the absurd nine-member Supreme Court, judicial review, and states' rights); failing to forthrightly and properly punish the putschist Trump for trying to install himself as a dictator; refusing to properly name the late fascist menace for what it is; keeping people off the streets by chaeling everything into the killing confines of the nation's right-tilted electoral politics; playing the bourgeois identitarian card with an irrational wokeness that is just the other left side of the Republi-fascists' revanchist, anti-science, identitarian, and truth-canceling coin (see this essay's postscript for further reflections on the objectively reactionary woke syndrome)." | Negative | -10% Liberal |
| "Now the Dems prefer Meijer's Stop the Steal opponent, casting no small shade on their claim to be dedicated to safeguarding democracy." | Negative | -10% Liberal |
| "Well before the US House January 6 committee's first hearing, it was abundantly clear that Trump had committed at least nine federal felonies in coection with his attempted theft/cancellation of the 2020 election: Willful destruction of government property (18 U.S.C. u00a7 1361 and 18 U.S.C. u00a7 2071); Conspiracy against rights (18 U.S.C. u00a7 241);" | Negative | -10% Liberal |
| "The Democrats are now so revoltingly complicit with the Amerikaner Party of Trump, DeSantis, and Taylor-Greene as to be directly supporting the most lethal far-right Republican candidates in this year's primary elections." | Negative | -12% Liberal |
| "+ Michigan's Republifascist election-denier nominees include Tudor Dixon (who falsely contended that Trump won the state in 2020) for governor, Kristina Karamo (who has called the 2020 election fixed and baselessly claimed that Dominion voting machine software flipped votes to Mr. Biden for secretary of state), and Matthew DePerno (a central player in 2020 election challenges) for attorney general.+ Arizona:" | Positive | 0% Conservative |

| "It's at least two years since it launched a many-sided attempt to overthrow the United States' surprisingly shaky electoral and rule of law (unmentionably bourgeois) democracy - an attack that would in January of 2021 include the conscious deployment of armed paramilitaries and presidentially approved threats to execute then Vice President Mike Pence." | Negative | -18% Liberal |
