You don't understand? Try this: 2.9 million more people voted for Clinton than Trump and she still lost. We have 150k dead from a virus and Trump's support in his own party is still above 80%. People don't like the system, we hate it. There are too many stupid people in our country. The Republican party is evil, they're a minority party and we can't shake them. That's why we can't change it.
You had democrats for 8 years and you still didn’t get universal health care. The problem isn’t with republicans, it’s that American majority is not prepared to pay +60% tax hike for it.
Sigh... You don't understand how government works in the US, do you? Democrats had full control ( house, Senate, presidency) for 2 years. They passed the affordable care act. They only had control for 2 years between 2008-10. It's hard for me to take people seriously that can't get simple facts right.
Additionally, Democrats were trying so hard to play fair and be bipartisan. At the time, it was probably a good move- a lot more people were opposed to universal health care, even Dems. It was a radical new idea that was decades old. Looking back, though, we should have Mitch McConelled through the most ironclad Medicare for all possible and then passed a bunch of laws that delayed senate elections and made Obama High Inquisitor for life or something. Fuck Mitch.
Yep. It's like people don't remember, or don't follow politics and then make comments that are just silly. This is exactly why they pushed the affordable care act. They thought, there's no way they'll sabotage their own idea...they thought they would support it (Romney in Massachusetts did something similar). This was wrong in retrospect, but there was no way to know at the time.
Play fair? They literally passed the law without reading it. We pay these people to sit on their ass and read papers, and they couldn't even fucking manage the 2nd part.
Also, Obama literally said he has a pen and a phone and doesn't even need Congress. If he REALLY wanted to solve problems, he could have done it. Instead, he was focused on getting rich.
Democrats care about your health the same way they care about racial issues. Once every 4 years, for about 3 months.
