MODERATORS
I mean, did you need examples of Dems against legal cannabis while Joe Biden is in office?
Did you want a giant list of everything voters want that "moderate" Dems oppose?
Oh look! The goalposts have moved!
Wait, you complained about me being focused on healthcare, but you still want to talk about it?
Well. "Obamacare" ended up being a more conservative version of Mitt Romeny's plan.
But if we're only giving credit for what's done (and I agree with that) then suddenly all the things that make neoliberals better than Republicans disappears.
I mean, the only recent expansion of healthcare by either party was when Dems passed the more conservative version of Romney's plan
You're making my point, the letter by someone's name doesn't mean much when majorities of politicians from both parties oppose progresss
There's just some with a D by their name that try, but progressives are still a minority in their own party unfortunately
Edit:
Actually with a profile blurb like that, I don't think any exchange will ever be productive...
I'm just going to use the block button, feel free to keep responding, I'll never see it.
Just don't have time for sovereign citizens who openly call for execution of politicians, even if they're terrible politicians...
I think you're doing that thing where people believe the right position is always halfway between D and R
Do you even know what neoliberals are?
You've made it clear that you have no idea what you're talking about.
I'm sure you're referring to #ExecuteTrump. Which is a reference to his own penchant for calling for the execution of his political enemies, under the cover of calling it "political speech." If he can do it, so can I.
