    Meanwhile the Democrats have been trying to pass meaningful healthcare reforms for decades and have been stopped at every turn by Republicans.

    Their last big win was a Heritage Foundation policy that they nerfed without a single republican vote because it wasn’t far enough to the right.

      I have no idea what you are talking about. You know you exist in an echo chamber right? That the little memes and private language you guys circle jerk each other with doesn’t make sense here in the outside world?

      Are you talking about the ACA or something else? Because the ACA originally contained a public option, that was the Democrat plan. That’s awesome, pity none of the Republicans voted for it because they hate Obama for being black. But please, keep telling me now both parties are the same.

        Yeah, that’s not a surprise. I understand that the past couple decades of history aren’t netanyahu’s slightest whims, so you can be forgiven for not paying attention to them. You see, the ACA is based on a plan that was put forth by the Heritage Foundation. Since it’s not AIPAC, I’ll have to let you know what that is too. The Heritage Foundation is a republican think tank. They tell republicans (and centrist democrats) what their policies are.

        Because the ACA originally contained a public option, that was the Democrat plan.

        And the democratic caucus killed the public option without republicans getting involved.

        That’s awesome

        It would have been if your wing of the party didn’t think that more people going bankrupt and dying wasn’t preferable. Great work.

        The party has been coasting on this for 15 years and meanwhile healthcare has only gotten worse.
