>Obama tried to lay the groundwork for single payer health insurance but it was blocked by republicans He was blocked by 40 republican senators? A parliamentarian? Crazy how republicans are never blocked like this. The only conclusion we can draw from dem actions is that they agree with genocide, ICE, allocating healthcare by wealth, etc, but know its unpopular with the people whose votes they're asking for. >My only interest is getting republicans and Trump out of office because nothing else is possible until that happens. You know what doesn't help? Telling people to shut the fuck up and vote for a party that openly despises them. You know what can help? Keeping people activated on their issues. This only works if the dems don't stand up to their own base.

> Crazy how republicans never are never blocked like this. Because republicans are more influenced by private interest groups. It’s crazy that you point this out yourself but need it explained to you. > You know what doesn't help? Telling people to shut the fuck up and vote for a party that openly despises them Leftists are the only ones using this type of rhetoric which is why they are so unpopular with voters. > You know what can help? Keeping people activated on their issues. This only works if the dems don't stand up to their own base. You mean like Fetterman and Sinema? How bout we blame all leftists for their actions the same way you try to scapegoat democrats for the actions of republicans.
