What are you talking about? Democrats didn't have the votes for single-payer even among themselves, and also Obama was trying to "heal the country" after massive discord over Iraq with George W. Bush by making concessions with Republicans (and he absolutely learned from that mistake when most Republicans still didn't vote to pass it).
You think every Democrat in Congress now is pro single payer? But there are a lot more now than there were 15 years ago! (I feel like I need to remind you of the plotline here: that Democrats are NOT moving further to the right, and you've yet to support that claim.)
You're either really young and don't remember 2009/2010, or weren't paying attention to the news back then. The ACA barely passed as it was, in an anxious-watching-vote-counts-on-CSPAN kinda way. You know who voted against it? Almost every Republican. But it sounds like maybe you want to vote for them instead because Democrats aren't liberal enough for you?
Maybe I have a different perspective as a woman that works in a school library.
Not everyone has the luxury of a protest vote.
Nope I want to vote for someone on the level of sanders, and I refuse to compromise anymore, I have been doing that since 2012.
20,000 innocent people and us still supporting them is my line.
You have two options: run someone that doesn’t support the genocidal actions take place, or decide that you guys can win without our help.
We compromised enough, your turn.
