14. It's like how Democrats have been saying health care is a human right not a privilege for decades

(Ted Kennedy giving many fiery speeches saying exactly that since the '60s) and Medicare for All had been up for a vote for years and suddenly it was insinuated that Democrats had no idea what universal health care was and thought it was a "radical idea" (accused with those exact words) and only one person had ever thought about it before. Same as Fight for Fifteen, movement for 15 dollar minimum wage that became a national movement, appropriated by one person as their idea. Passive-aggressive insinuation that Democrats aren't progressive and are corrupt just like Republicans is a big thing and still being used to suppress support for Democrats.
