Well, he didn't exactly help, did he?
Yeah, if only he wasn't obstructed like Obama was at every turn by republicans, then blamed for 'doing nothing'
the same trick every time. gerrymandering, no nothing republicans standing in the way of progress and tricking people like you into thinking its the democrats faults. Even when they enact policies that they came up with. (tell me the name of the conservative who filibustered his own bill when obama approved it. you wont, because you are a shill)
democrats had a majority. They chose not to use it. They chose to break their promises. You only support biden because he sold weapons to netanyahu for you.
for how long, crab? And why was the ACA enacted then? Was that the dems choosing not to use anything?
maybe this is why the dems never enact anything, because when they do americans flip out and start things like the Tea party.
I was talking about the majority that democrats didn't use during the first half of the biden administration. You know this, but since you've decided to pivot, let's talk about the ACA. The original version had a public option and no individual mandate. It was a heritage foundation policy, and that was before democrats nerfed it. Centrists have been coasting on a neutered heritage foundation policy for 15 years now.
We gave democrats the house, the senate, and the presidency in 2020. They chose not to use it. Now pretend I'm talking about something else. You know better, but that won't stop you.
who filibustered their own law, crab?
This will be the second time you've attempted to change the subject in as many comments.
But since you brought up the filibuster, why haven't democrats used it since trump took office?
its a simple question. who filibustered their own law?
One that you brought up because you don't want to talk about the ACA anymore for some reason. Keep changing the subject in defense of the party that sells your favorite person weapons for your favorite activity.
who was that one that I brought up, why can't you mention his name? Do you even know what you are talking about?
At this point, I don't know what you're talking about. You just seem determined to change the subject.
the original topic was mitch mconnell filibustering his own bill when obama approved it. because they are not a real political party, just obstructionists who funnel money to rich people. (and support racism such as things like 'private schools' IE segregation.)
that was the point, learn your history my guy before you start blathering.
This is a lie. It was not the "original topic" and anyone who can scroll up can confirm this. You're the one who keeps trying to talk about mcconnell (I have to actually write his name because otherwise you will immediately pretend I'm talking about someone else) in a thread that isn't about him.
No its a original topic that you refuse to acknowledge. Which is you saying dems do nothing and me saying they (conservatives) only obstruct and enrich millionaires and racists, even against their own bills.
Why did Mitch filibuster his own bill, crab? or do you want me to walk you through it like a child again?
Yeah, it really sucks when people don't want to change the subject when you do.
Yeah, republicans do that. We don't have to keep making it easy for them. Yet we keep the filibuster around because republicans use it to block progressive legislation, and centrists like being able to point to republicans and be like "It's their fault!" When all it would take to pass anything democrats want is 50 votes to kill the filibuster for good. But they know they have people who will try endlessly to pivot to mcconnell in order to defend democrats' inaction.
I don't know. Why do you keep trying to change the subject to the guy who blocks the things you don't want passed for you?
You do a lot of things like a child.
or when the subject evolves into something you don't like, apparently.
Why did Mitch fillibuster his own bill, crab? Its a simple answer, crab. Give me the formula to the krabby patty crabs!
that last part was in jest, and I apologize, but you are a joke. so it fits.
Well, you've just admitted to trolling. Goodbye, pro-genocide troll.
goodbye, pretender. I wish you luck in your endeavors to worsen democracy because you don't like women and democrats.
You seems to be very aware of american politics for an arab / jewish person. Wouldn't you be american?
You never put a foot in the middle east did ya. Or maybe on holiday? Deployment?
I used to work tourism (to a muslim country) so this is hilarious to me.
Hey want to talk about how its like to be raised as an american who has both feet in the playing fields?
Yeah exactly you went there on holiday. Fkn yank
no I took people there on holiday. for money. its called a job. one day you will have one.
You do know Biden as VP was the dog whistle to show the wealthy they could vote for Obama and nothing would get done ...
Right?
It's wasn't just Republicans that's stopped M4A, just like back with FDR the "moderates" sided with the Republicans.
Biden said he wanted some things to happen, but never tried because he kept saying he didn't know if it would work
If you think Biden legitimately put effort in for two years Dems had majority ...
Why the fuck did Biden spend so much time calling himself the fucking "Senate whisper"?
His whole deal was he could work with Republicans, and when we got majorities he threw his hands up and said trying would be a waste of fucking time.
If you didn't pay attention to any of that, the last election must have made no sense to you at all...
who did the ACA? who came up with that plan? Lets hear it finally.
Mit Romney?
Although technically when it got past Dem moderates it was a more conservative version of Romney's plan...
Do people still not know that in 2025?

I'm constantly surprised how people can be so opinionated, but never curious enough to learn....
Like, that's my whole point
Obama sold us "fixing healthcare"
And we literally ended up with a more conservative version of the Republican plan. Because moderate Dems sided with Republicans.
Were you agreeing wit me and I just "whooshed"?
yep, and guess who suddenly opposed it once it was put forward? Who's party opposed it? who is trying to get rid of it? Who called it "obama-care" ? and why wasnt it "romney Care?" I am also surprised at how people who are seemingly smart can watch a political party do a 180 degree turn on their own designs just to obstruct. and then literally say their obstruction is the fault of the opposition. Its like watching a child being told to step on a lego and then the parent tells them its not their fault. Like. Little. Babies.
Right ...
So what about the elected Democrats who said Romenys plan had to become more conservative for them to vote for it?
Everyone on the correct side has a D by their name, you seem to get that...
You just don't understand that everyone with a D by their isn't on the correct side
Every square is a rectangle, but not every rectangle is a square
I hope that got thru to you, but I'll never know
did the democrats campaign promise include banning all muslims?
