Moderate Dems get elected because this country isn’t progressive. We collectively want these things to happen, which is why they do.
The ACA has worked exactly as it was supposed to, but people are still terrified of Obamacare.
The ACA worked and I’m still afraid of medical bills and avoid medical care because of it. Yay effective government.
Obama called it a ‘starter house.’ He had majorities in both Houses and it still barely squeaked by.
Yay effective propaganda!
Progressive policy is popular regardless of labels or even parties.
Even in 2020 most Americans wanted single payer healthcare.
But because trump ran as a Republican, that meant the Dem candidate couldn’t want to fix healthcare, for some reason is till don’t understand.
We collectively want healthcare to be improved, but the people who donate to both parties don’t, which is why it doesn’t happen.
Either our government is representative of its people and they don’t really want those things, or it’s not representative of its people and needs destroyed. See the Declaration of Independence for more information.
our government is representative of its people
Well, it’s not that one…
Seriously, is that a real option for you?
Because even if every primary and general election was fair and 100% accurate…
Our government is factually not representative of it’s people, never was, and was never meant to be.
Like, there’s the electoral college, there’s unequal distribution of representation, not to even get I to how you had to be a white male landowner for the first couple decades to vote.
Seriously, who told you that America’s government was actually representative of Americans?
