affordable heathcare act
That and Obama was actually the first President to ask Congress to raise the minimum wage and be told to fuck off... Which is one of many unfortunate examples of how far our country has turned to the Right
Yeah, I was about to say, I can you know, not choose between dying or a life of debt?
Affordable Care Act was terrible at first. It's barely better now. And I was talking about the last four years mostly. My family's wages went down when you factor healthcare costs (not even considering the inflation on food etc). Democrats need to be pushing for single payer, it's actually popular even among some Republican voters if the Democrats knew how to communicate with people instead of calling them names. If they would run on fixing minimum wage and European style healthcare they would probably be able to get it done.
As a representative of everyone with a preexisting condition before the ACA was passed, I am mentally violating the community civility rule at you right now.
It's clear the Dems would rather lose to a fascist then run on anything decent
Guess how Hilary Clinton first became Public Enemy #1 to conservatives in the early '90s.
This was before the current enshittification. My family was all against it in the 90s and today they're all saying that insurance companies are what's wrong with health care. Things have changed.
And will they vote for someone who pushing single payer or call it socialism today?
I can't predict the future. But I can say it depends on the whole policy picture. They'd vote for a socialist before they'd vote for someone pushing gun control. Funny thing is, real leftists should be completely opposed to disarming the proletariat.
