Obama did exactly what he was supposed to. Capture a popular social movement and prevent it from actually accomplishing anything.

Its why Democrats exist.

    Because only a complete moron would say the ACA did nothing.

    Is it great? No but it's so, so much better than what existed before. It literally has saved many lives and if not for that shitstain Lieberman could've gone further.

    Maybe everyone here is too young to realize how awful healthcare was before that.

    Criticize sure but people sound like idiots when they downtalk a huge piece of legislation that actually improved things a lot, even if not obviously being the best solution.

    Or you know... Actual universal healthcare and pushing to punish the financial elite for the 2008 crash

    Edit: What the actual fuck happened to Lemmy?!

    I'm getting downvoted for saying universal healthcare is better?? Holy shit this place became milquetoast

    Jeez-uzz. Majick wands are in short supply. What do you expect? This shitshow has been running for several seasons. Subterfuge, chicanery and (most of all) politics have been involved in politics from day one. Life has evolved to be increasingly more dog-eat-dog in all aspects. Perhaps we can hope we're at the peak of a cycle?
