shitty republican-thinktank-inspired healthcare plan.

defending dems with an example that could never happen because of how useless they are just underscores their uselessness.

it's always kinda funny when someone still uses "if every democrat did [inarguably good thing], the left would still criticize them!" when democrats as a party can't even line up and coherently oppose trump.

or obama saying everyone wanted a pony when people were justifiably bitching about his

according to their social media posts and blast emails "dems are fighting" so shaddup!

are you gonna be coordinating w/david hogg's group?

hopefully they coordinate w/david hogg's group

thank you for your service here!

shaheen and kaine are dropping pretty hard-to-miss hints in interviews that schumer was involved in this from the start.

says much about what a wretched empty mess the dem party is that these folks are talking this way - shaheen's also hinting that schumer was more involved in what happened than he's letting on.

ever happening, as the parties could endlessly argue about it INSTEAD of implementing M4A or a federally administered public option.

refusing medicaid expansion would give dems supporting it a leg up in red states tho (obviously) it didnt work out that way.

the harsh reading: president citigroup was as opposed to socialized healthcare as any conservative and knew the ACA would become not the bridge to M4A, but the barrier to it

according to joe lieberman in ryan grim's 'we've got people' at no point did obama ever push lieberman on the p.o. - the kindest reading of what happened is dems were absolutely terrified at the thought of doing a federal p.o. that local govts couldn't block - maybe the thinking was that republicans
