Short diary here, but just wanted to let you all know that conservative Democratic congressman Dan Lipinski put out a tweet today falsely accusing his primary challenger, progressive Marie Newman, who supports Medicare for All, of wanting to get rid of the Affordable Care Act’s protections:
For one Medicare for All doesn’t get rid of those protections and actually enhances them. But here’s the real kicker: Lipinski voted against the ACA!
Relatedly, this is why the DCCC shouldn’t be punishing primary challengers, because sometimes primary challengers are needed to get assholes in sheep’s clothing like Lipinski out of office.
Donate to Marie Newman right here and if you’re in Illinois’ 3rd District, vote for Newman one week from now to get Lipinski’s lying, anti-choice ass out of Congress. Don’t worry about Dan, I’m sure he’ll have a job working as a lackey for corporate America waiting for him when he’s done.
