Suggesting Democrats are doing "everything possible" on an issue like healthcare is absolutely wild.
The last time we heard Dems talk about healthcare was when Bernie pressured candidate Biden into "supporting" a public option. Then once elected, with control of congress, Dems didn't even broach the subject.
True, but to be a little fair to them, the republicans have the power and use it to completely block all objectively good attempts at progress at all. Nothing good can happen in america without a supermajority or a complete change of the system.
It isn't everything possible.
They did negotiate lower prices on 10 of the most expensive drugs that of a certain age old
No, you don't get it. Democrats are the best at everything and always doing whatever possible to solve all issues in the US and abroad. Hence why what's happening in Gaza is completely unstoppable, why healthcare sucks so much because it's an unsolvable problem etc.
I've got the opposite impression from the Democratic Party; ever since 2016 the only thing they seem to be capable of telling the American people is "at least we're not as bad as The Other Guy!"
Shoulda put an /s at the end there I guess
A lot of lemmy seems to be oblivious to sarcasm.
