    What health care?

    I came here to say exactly that.

    See the thing is Democrats, if you are going to paint yourselves in as the heroes, you actually have to go after the things you say you will; not just campaign on them and then disregard them when things become ‘difficult’.

      What would you like for them to have done over the past year+ that would have been possible with a GOP-controlled House?

          False:

          In 2021, Democrats pushed, and in some cases passed, bills to enact sweeping drug price reforms, permanently extend Obamacare subsidies and expand Medicaid in the 12 holdout states that have refused to do so, and pour hundreds of billions into home health care for the elderly and people with disabilities and add dental, vision and hearing benefits to Medicare.

      I guess you’re too young to remember the Obamacare debate. The Dems barely managed to pass a plan inspired by Mitt Romney’s Mass. plan.

      It’s hard to do nice things when the GOP is actively trying to destroy the social net.

        What’s your excuse for California with a bullet proof dem super majority who strikes down single payer every time it comes up? They are all owned by the same corporations

          You do realize there’s a difference between one single state doing something, and the whole country?

          Also, where’s your great alternative to the Dems? I’d love to hear all about it.

            If a state with a bullet proof democrat super majority can’t fix things like healthcare, wages, housing, etc democrats on the federal level couldn’t do it either. They would find, like California does, a rotating villain to blame for not being about to govern.
