The ACA was the best that could be done at the time, but it is a steaming turd and needs to be replaced with Universal Healthcare.

I disagree. Democrats had the presidency, the house and the senate (filibuster proof). They chose a republican friendly solution that was just a bandaid on a broken system.

All it did was piss off republicans and give them a rallying point while doing nothing to encourage democrats to vote.

They should have had the balls to create a system that actually fixed the problems, but they didn’t.

There were like one or two very conservative Dems who derailed the single payer option when they had the filibuster proof majority. The main problem is not getting a solid party wide understanding of the goals they are aiming for ahead of the chances to do something about it.
