To be fair, you have to credit Democrats with Obamacare which was really a way to improve the lives of poorer people
Obamacare is responsible for finding the masses in my breasts right now so I like it. I'd like it more if just everyone could go to the doctor and not have to ask, like I do, "is it covered by my insurance"
And the 2000s bank bailouts.
Also, cash for clunkers?
I credit Dems with making Mitt Romney’s healthcare plan worse, by removing the public option - the thing that would have actually improved the lives of poorer people. Instead, we simply shoveled some 30mil Americans right into the pockets of predatory insurance companies.
The only silver lining from that legislation was preventing them from denying care due to pre-existing conditions, and that point has been an all out battleground ever since.
One half-baked concession to the poor doesn't imply their party platform is about improving the lives of poor people.
You mean Romney care without the public option. Obamacare is more conservative than the actual republican plan…
Which is the Republicans' fault, they're the ones that forced the public option out of the bill.
Can you not see that the people who are disagreeing with you are merely suggesting that it is not as black and white as it being the democrats fault, or the republicans fault, that perhaps there’s more to it than which corporate/aipac/billionaire donor football team you like?
The donor class owns both teams by the way.
It’s the corporate dems and the corporate republicans who are holding back progress… because of legal bribery - campaign donations….
By your logic, democrats blocked 100% of Biden’s agenda while he was in office.
Biden literally accomplished nothing during his administration, and even the dumb stuff that was passed has been clawed back already.
It's not fair to say that he accomplished nothing! Bombing kids, backing a genocide, taking money from the working-class and poor, and giving it to his rich friends, helping to build out the border wall, increasing funding for the police and surveillance state...
All that work aint easy.
Lol
I don't like football
Good for you I guess?
Eh, t's neutral for me I'd say, but thanks
Man Obamacare really did a lot to help the Libyans getting bombed by NATO forces.
Obamacare was always a rhetorical device to prove how unserious the GOP is at governing.
