    Funny how often Democrats try to do things that will definitely fail but then with things they actually can change there’s always some bullshit excuse.

    We don’t have medicare for all or something similar because Democrats refused to make it happen during Obama’s term. That combined with the kid gloves they took to the financial sector during the financial crisis disillusioned a lot of people. Most Democrat politicians are corrupt pro-corporate trash.

      Because there wasn’t support for it. Sure it has pretty broad public support. But our elected officials don’t. It’s not a bullshit excuse. It sucks but it’s true. And acting like a child certainly won’t fix it.

        Those elected officials were Democrats. You’re just proving my point. When the power is out of their hands you’re like “Omg they want to and if you just vote harder they’ll totally do it!” but then when the power is in their hands you just shrug and say “They didn’t support it.”

        Yes, I know they don’t support it. That’s why I’m not voting for them.

          And that’s why they aren’t voting for it. No one is proving your point. And no it’s not just Democrats. Whatever conspiracy pit you frequent, you need to get out.

            Are you a bot? It seems like you just lost the entire context of the conversation. Let me remind you.

            Me:

            We don’t have medicare for all or something similar because Democrats refused to make it happen during Obama’s term.

            You:

            Because there wasn’t support for it.

            Me:

            Yes, I know they don’t support it. That’s why I’m not voting for them.

            You:

            And no it’s not just Democrats.

            Are you following along now Siri?

                Buddy, I just spelled it out for you: We don’t have medicare for all or something similar because Democrats refused to make it happen during Obama’s term. This was the Democrats fault.
