I didn't agree with his politics, bit he earned a little of my respect when he shut down an old woman who called Obama a Muslim. But when he went to the vote to repeal the ACA, voted "no" and gave a thumbs down to McConnell was the cherry on top.

For those who don't remember. It's wonderful watching that dickbags smug smirk disappear.

ACA was/is a huge failure. Healthcare costs have more than doubled in CT.

Republicans had plenty of opportunities to “fix” it under Dump and did NOTHING. When it comes down to it, GOP doesn’t care about the folks, unless they are rich and white.

Just like the Democrats could restore Roe v. Wade and fix immigration policy if they wanted. Clearly Democrats don't care about people either, unless they are rich campaign donors.

Neither side is worthwhile. But that doesn't change the fact that ACA raised the cost of healthcare.

And gave poor people access to healthcare, too. I disagree with your characterization of Democrats. On the whole, they are much more representative of the different people in our country and they represent their constituents much better. Republicans tell their constituents exactly what they want to hear, hoping they won't actually think too hard about it.

Then why have they not simply put abortion under HIPPA privacy rules and thereby make abortion legal nation wide? Why haven't they passed a law giving DACA kids a path to citizenship? Why don't they even talk about the #1 cause of death for ages 18-40? Why haven't they done something about homelessness and crime in so many big cities?

Democrats are not fixing things for anyone except their own campaign funds.

Perhaps you should write your representatives and ask instead of bitching about it on Reddit.

Oh, I know the answer. I'm curious if you do.

If you know the answer, then why be condescending and pretentious? You could share your information to get people to agree with you or just be a jerk and belittle people.
