      Republicans have spent the last 40 years purchasing the entire system, obviously it works for them. They’re the ones that paid for it.

        Democrats passed ACA and removed student loans from being discharged in BK court.

        Both parties actively fight against working class.

            We elected Obama with the hope for single payer healthcare and received Romney Care in a rebrand effort called the ACA. The ACA was designed by a venture capitalist.

              Obligatory fuck Joe Lieberman. To be clear, you’re not blaming the lack of a public option on Democrats right?

                Honestly I blame the entire fraudulent system and those that refused to fight for the policies they campaigned on. Are the dems solely to blame, no. Did they fight, no. FDR knew how to wield the power of his office and he got shit done! Since the neoliberal takeover of the democratic party in the 90’s actually fighting for the people has taken a back seat to kissing up to corporate power and we are all living in that hell they willingly helped create.

                Without the neoliberal takeover we might still have governance for and by the people and not some form of fascistic broligarchy masquerading as a democracy.

                You say fuck Lieberman and rightly so, but fuck the entire system that made Lieberman possible in the first place. He is not the only dem to blame here, he was just the sacrificial lamb to keep the money machine churning people into profit.

                And fuck the entire republican party in its entirety!

                I truly think the last real republican was Ike, and the last real democrat had his brains spattered over the back of a motorcade. Sure there are sprinkles of hope like Sanders but he is literally fighting his own party as much as the opposition party.

                Anyway that’s my 2¢.
