Were you not following the back and forth fight that went on back then for him to try to get anything through? Yeah it’s shit but it’s a lot better than the nothing there was. It was progress and if this country had actual adults in it instead of a bunch of emotional children and corrupt politicians then things could continue to progress.

    corrupt politicians

    Like the dems.

    if this country had actual adults in it instead of a bunch of emotional children

    Blaming the voters. The endpoint of every democratic argument.

    Yeah, cuz both sides are equally corrupt.

    Two questions.

    1. Are you aware that reality is all sorts of imperfect and there will ALWAYS be corruption in political parties?

    2. Are you aware that for the foreseeable future, and most likely for the remainder of your life, you will have Dems or Repubs in control?

    So with those in mind, what good do you think it does to whine about a party having corruption when all parties will always have corruption and it's our duty to make the best decision within that reality? Such as making sure the WAY, WAY, WAY less corrupt party is in control and not the WAY, WAY, WAY more corrupt party.

    Blaming the voters.

    Why wouldn't they be to blame? How do you think the president and members of Congress got there? We live in a nation that willingly elected a convicted felon and adjudicated rapist who ran a fraudulent university and charity and already had one massively failed presidency under his belt. Not to mention the open bigotry and obviously low IQ.

    This IS a country full of child-like adults, and our government is a testament to that. Of course voters are to blame. We made this happen.

    The person you are responding to was probably still breast feeding during Obama's presidency. So they're likely completely unaware that before Obamacare millions of people just didn't have healthcare and that Obama had to fight like hell with Republicans just to get it done.
