57. It was never going to pass. Its not in place now. And it was never going to be in place now.

Nov 2013

The votes did not exist.

And whining about why its not here NOW isn't going to get you any closer to having it NOW.

And the liberal side of the party would have gotten us NOTHING. That's what the liberal side of the party would have obtained. Nadda.

No one on DU was attacked for wanting a public option. They were attacked for wanting a public option or NOTHING.

The liberal side of the party is very good at complaining, not so good at getting things done.

Take your post ... are you trying to figure out how to add a PO to the ACA ... nope, just more whining.
