Yea the part I’m talking about is when instead of just passing a bill to fix the problem they spent time negotiating with the GOP.

Instead of striking while the iron was hot, you know, passing a bill when they had a super majority. They waited until they lost their super majority, then decided that the filibuster was so sacrosanct that they had to pass a watered down bill that entrenches the power of the insurance companies.

Let not forget that at the time when the Dems were fucking around negotiating with the gop they had said publicly that their primary goal was to obstruct the Obama presidency. That’s also what literally happened.

Agreed. The Obama admin fucked that up by trying to "extend an olive branch" when the gop was slashing at them with knives.

They knew the knives were out, but thought they could turn the other cheek. The sad part is that some of these ancient fucks still think this works. They have nostalgia for the "good ol days" when social media was called "Friendster," smart phones barely existed, and scandal was something that mattered. That time doesnt exist anymore.

Its knives out now, and anyone who doesn't have a shiv in hand is gonna be dead soon, one way or another.
