MODERATORS
Bro literally demonstrably didn't because caucusing independent Joe Lieberman voted against Public Option leaving the DNC dead in the water with 59 and a Republican Filibuster. The DNC count was 58 + 2 ind, and only for 72 days.

Trump..... A couple of days ago I ended the federal education department. I thought I might wanna check out what the little people are thinking.
...
People do remember that we ended up with a more conservative system than his Republican opponent wanted, right?
Dems defending the ACA and refusing to keep working on healthcare is a large reason why trump won.
Not to even get into how it's been almost 20 years and the "incremental improvements" that dem ACA detractors never happened, they never even worked towards them...
Every time an elected moderate/neolineral speaks, they're lying to someone. If they were honest they'd never get elected, at least not with a D next to their name

Legitimate question: if there is a change to the term limits on the office of POTUS, passed by GOP to enable another Trump run, wouldn't that also allow Obama to run again? If yes, what are the pros and cons of this? Just trying to game this out.
He was milquetoast compared to actual progressive politicians. He folded like all paid opposition party Democrats when it came to the public option.
He put his finger on the scale to get others to drop out all on the same day so Bernie wouldn't win the nomination and you got Biden instead.
They would likely do away with term limits for Republicans only since they can make their own rules and even if they didn't Obama wouldn't run for another term because he would say it isn't the way the founding fathers wanted and the all important parliamentarian said no.

You think they'd have an election?
Even some of the most established dictatorship and oligarchy governments in the world still have elections, though they are probably not free or fair in all cases. So, yes, I think there will be an election of some sort in 2028, if only to assuage the international community. I admit that I could be wrong, and that the possibility is very scary.

Thanks Obomber

While it was a good idea, putting the IRS in charge of it was the stupidest thing ever. If you're not covered all 12 months you get a big fine. Last year I had issues with the website that was probably coded by some kid whose dad said he was "good with computers" and wasn't able to get coverage for 4 months. It fucked me over. Fuck the IRS.
