    Affordable care act was 2010, so we might get another crumb when Harris is getting ready to leave her second term. That way the progressive in the primary would get under cut on healthcare against the moderate because they’ll frame asking for more as being against what we just got.

    Jesus, the ACA took literally every penny of political capital Obama had, and he walked in with more than any Dem president in decades.

    If he hadn’t wasted his and our time on the ACA we could have passed something useful, like campaign finance reform, though that would have been dismantled too, you still have to work on it, CU is killing this country.

    You have a 5th grader’s appreciation of politics.

    Healthcare needs to be fixed in a completely different way, the insurers need to be staked through the heart, and the providers not far after, otherwise nothing you do will matter, there’s simply too much money involved.
