I know so many reasonably well off democrat like to tell me how fantastic the ACA was.

I knew multiple working class people who bought their mandated health care and took their kids to the doctors when they got sick but couldn't afford to use the health care they had paid for themselves because they wouldn't make rent or be able to buy school cloths.

My families health care, which we got through my wife, went up faster than her pay rate for a decade. Every one of Obamas eight years in office we were less well off than the year before because the cost of health care. "Well he bent the curve" says snooty McKoolAid fuck. Tell that to someone who has paid for healthcare (Yea, he expanded coverage) but can't afford to get care for their chronic back pain lest they lose their house (I need the insurance in case I have a car accident). Pretending that the ACA was a game changing piece of legislation means you are a loyal consumer of propaganda.

People are so invested in political war all they care about is the score card an nothing about results.

Same shit with the environment. Pairs accord is window dressing when compared to the reality of the situation.

It's anything but comforting listening to Obama tell us all about how Joe isn't a socialist. If you looked at his record sinking bankruptcy reform that would have helped the working class you'd know that. Same with his service to the credit card industry. He's been a boon to the police state and the military state. He's done fine work on tax shelters.

We are so fucked that we are happy to get shit asses like Obama an Biden in office, I'm in absolute despair that anything will ever get better.
