(1,349 posts)That's the reaction to anything said. Universal healthcare has been a Democratic goal for decades, and there are myriad ways to get there, but they insist that it's some sort of team sport or popularity contest, and that there is only one dogmatic way to get there and if you're not blindly supporting that then you're evil.
That's not what anyone who has any idea of what Democrats have been fighting for would say or any understanding of how American government works would be posting.
Either we've got a lot of very angry people can't read, failed civics, don't understand what the CBO is and who legitimately think this is some brand new idea, or we've got some divisive actors who delight in cheering on division and toxicity every chance they get.
It could be both, but the latter group leads along the former group to sow their toxicity.
