    Sounds like you’re blaming the party on one-two D votes for the bills failing, while ignoring the entire arsonist party that enabled those singular votes to break them.

    Edit - again, never even a proposal from republicans to correct or build on the ACA, just wholesale destruction, like everything the party does.

      Look I’m not saying the Republicans are good. Not in the slightest. They suck. And worse than Democrats.

          I don’t understand.

          If I post the George Carlin clip of how it’s a big club and you’re not in it, we might as well be in some backwoods country church, just drowning in people screaming “Amen!”

          If I say that both parties don’t have your interests in mind and will throw you under the bus to keep hoarding wealth, I’m a tankie Russian bot who’s probably a Republican collaborator.

          What’s the difference?

        Then I guess we’re in agreement, I’d like more options as well and ranked voting should be law of the land to enable that. In the meantime US is stuck with one party actively hostile to life and liberty, and another that struggles to enact progress at every pass. Given that, I really can’t stand hearing “but the dems” in an environment where that’s all we’ve got.
