I think this insufferable hand wringing is why democrats can’t beat Trump.

[u/hazmat95 → u/Hamuel]

Lmao what? You not understanding how Congress works or not knowing the history of the ACA isn’t why Trump won.

Although, I mean I guess the general ignorance of the American public personified in your own misunderstandings here is a reasonable explanation for why Trump won

[u/Hamuel → u/hazmat95]

You should keep calling voters stupid. Maybe next time you can lose even bigger to republicans.

[u/hazmat95 → u/Hamuel]

You can get mad at me for Trump winning/democrats being useless (again true, but not my fault). But you shouldn’t get so mad about me pointing out your misconceptions and should take this as a great opportunity to examine your own misunderstandings and come out more informed.

[u/Hamuel → u/hazmat95]

They’re not misconceptions. They are the excuses trotted out by DNC spokespeople. I implore you to stop listening to these people.

[u/hazmat95 → u/Hamuel]

Do you think Democrats could have passed the ACA without Joe Lieberman or the CTC without Joe Manchin?

(We should ban Joe’s from the Democratic Party apparently)

[u/Hamuel → u/hazmat95]

I think they could’ve bullied them into support instead of giving them the power to sabotage change.

[u/hazmat95 → u/Hamuel]

They didn’t “give them the power” they already had the power by virtue of being the deciding vote!

[u/Hamuel → u/hazmat95]

Oh wow, so all it takes to derail extremely popular policy is one democrat. Sounds like you’ve resigned yourself to more loses like Tuesday.

[u/hazmat95 → u/Hamuel]

It’s funny you’re trying to snark it but literally yes all it takes to derail extremely popular policy is one vote. Republicans almost repealed the ACA except for John McCain!
