        clinton falls into that category.

        biden is worse: he voted against gay marriage and advocated against gays in federal service for almost 50 years and then pretended that he did none of that and gave token support when he needed the votes.

      losing healthcare is not a concern

      I have to guess they had a pre-existing condition or were self employed or something under bush, and don’t consider “you could get fired or go into huge medical debt at any moment” a concern (they should)

        Yeah it’s a concern but my company saying “ insurance is going to make us drop some of you if you can’t pass a physical “ was really a meeting we had. So the possibility was way higher for sure.

          The things is, Dems could have given us a single payer system but they specifically chose not to. They could have completely removed the risk of losing healthcare for everyone but they chose not to.

            i wish people could see that democrats always rely on the “bad guy” excuse each time to kill a mildly progressive bill:

            • build back better blocked by manchin and sinema
            • immigration reform blocked by one random parliamentarian
            • single payer healthcare blocked by lieberman.
