Bernie Sanders Storms CNN And Stops A Lie About Democrats Dead In Its Tracks

113. Not being derogatory, not looking for a hide and I think you are honestly asking...

but that is bullshit.

The Democratic party had veto proof majorities. Could have done whatever they wanted. President Obama, who I love, was new and let the congress make the policy way too much. He kind of did what Trump has just done...trust that his fellow party members who were experienced with congress would cover his bases. Of course, he was trying to actually help Americans whereas the republicans today are trying to help the 1% and corporations. But too many Senators were scared about re-election to go all in on anything even close to single payer.

It was a stretch even to get the ACA. Everyone here like to blame Lieberman, and he was definitely a villain, but several of the Midwestern Senators were real holdouts.

But one of the defining moments of President Obama for me was when he told he congress folks that this vote was actually worth losing their seats for. And many of them took that to heart, voted for it, and then lost their seats. To me, that will always be the ultimate example of a great public servant.

And now Americans consider Health Care a right. The fascist wing of the republican party does not know that yet, but most of them do. What happened Friday is proof.

Now is the time to push for single payer.
