You can daydream about what Romney might have done, you can say stuff like “Trump promises to replace Obamacare with something better”, but does it mean anything in the face of the fact that under Obama a 58 DNC senate majority actually expanded medicaid while every single Republican voted in opposition?
jfc first he was howling about Obama but now they’re defending Republicans. Do you have any idea where you are right now, son?
After the 2008 financial crisis much of the world was left in economic turmoil and what Obama did worked. I’m sorry if that hurts your feelies.
Fun fact, the Republicans Filibustered the version of the bill that passed, but the 58 DNC convinced Bernie Sanders and the other Independent holdout to pass it via supermajority. If Republicans had their way there would never have been any Medicaid expansion, tens of millions of people would have suffered without healthcare to this very day.
lmao
Yeah the fucking Obamacare guy was a conservative, OK BUDDY
You must have been the Harris campaign advisor.
Hey, if Obama’s team could get a black man elected twice then this should work perfectly.
Funny how the deciding factor for Trump supporters is not knowing anything about what he would do once in office.
Like, for fucking real, nothing they’ve done has surprised progressives. We all knew this would happen.
TBF who wouldn’t want the ghost of Jimmy Carter leading us? All hail the eternal emperor, skulls for the skull throne!
That’s not true, the Musk family have a rich culture and long history of…
*checks notes
Supporting white supremacy and trying to overthrow democracy in several nations.
If it’s an insult to that crowd then it’s worth rubbing it in, and it certainly is.
Same with the USA, the US Green Party is funded by Conservative PACs such as Badger Values. If there were left unity then the 8 million people who showed up for Biden 2020 would have shown up for Harris 2024, but a lot of people are convinced the DNC aren’t left enough and that primary elections are shams.
Yeah FR this is literally the best thing that could have happened for the USA simply because of spoiler effect.
Independent Party Bernie Sanders was invited to participate on the DNC presidential tickets on multiple occasions and in 2016 he earned over 13 Million Votes compared to Hillary Clinton’s 16 Million.
If 4 Million more people voted for Bernie Sanders then he would have been the name on the Democrats ticket at the top of ballots across the nation.
The DNC had absolutely no incentive nor obligation to run Bernie in their primaries, they like his policies and gave voters the option to have him represent them as our president.
If you want more data there is also Congress which is only 28% female, and historically there were far less. I think the sentiment I saw in a lot of republicans wasn’t that they supported Trump all that much, but that they opposed Hillary and Harris.
What exactly makes you say Joe Biden was a better candidate than either as far as those bullet points?
Got it so if you had a list of the top 5 candidates and Bernie were in the list then you would get really upset that somebody claimed he was top 5 and not top 1 or 2?
28% of congress is female, 50.5% of the general population and their ratio gets higher in the average age group that corresponds to congress’. The percentage of people enthusiastic about a female president is down since 2015, a third of voters today say they are not ready for a female president.
We’re not talking about convincing a population of unbiased, nonprejudiced people. We’re talking about convincing a nation full of hateful assholes. A lot of republican voters will mobilize solely to keep women out of power.
Umm actually, that didn’t argue counter to anything that I said.
Idk if it’s too early to talk about it, but part of the process is definitely weighing the pros and cons.
My point being that no matter who we run there will be vicious smear campaigns attacking their character.
Public Option, similar to Germany healthcare, was the plan until Independent Joe Lieberman held out keeping the DNC from the required 60 votes to bypass Republican Filibuster.
