Rules:
- The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
- Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
- If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
- Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
- For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
- Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn't just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.
- This is not exclusively a US politics community. You're encouraged to post stories about anyone from any place in the world at any point in history as long as you meet the other rules.

Still waiting on your dear leader's 'concept of plan'.
Pretty lazy response.
I'm not a Donald supporter. I'm just also unwilling to pretend that a regressive health care system is a good thing because it came from the Blue MAGA instead of the Red MAGA, especially considering Obama could have (and should have) done better. .
You're every bit as intelligent as one. You're Blue MAGA, you fucking idiot.
I'm voting blue regardless, and I hope that the person you're responding to probably will as well. I liked Obama's approach, his demeanor, but not everything that he did. Despite that, I voted for him twice.
MAGA, pretty famously now, has no principles. They require loyalty to trump despite any policy flip flops.
His not being a fan of something Obama did because he thinks Obama should have known and done better is somehow following a MAGA playbook?
I know where you're coming from. I'm terrified that Putin's goon squad will somehow wreck any chance of recovery in November. But I doubt I'll stop being critical of the Democratic leadership. Instead of having the approach "view blue despite all these internal party issues" we should be trying "vote blue and get involved to help us fix these issues."
This is an ignorant approach. Do your homework, think for yourself, and vote based on the candidate(s), not solely party affiliation.
Lol, you sure have a lot of opinions. What part about it is 'lazy'?
Edit: What is your plan? Enlighten us wise one.
The lazy bit was to jump to Trump supporter after hearing criticism of party.
Is it any more 'lazy' than this person jumping straight to Obama as the responsible 'party 'when the ACA is mentioned?
For better or worse it was his flagship legislation.
I don't really care though, it isn't a laziness competition.
Here's a refresher for you on which branch does what. (Hint: the President is the Executive branch, and Congress is the Legislative branch).
USA.gov - Branches of Government
And here's more about the ACA, including who introduced it to Congress...I'll give you a hint, it wasn't Obama.
Affordable Care Act - Wikipedia
I understand it is commonly referred to as one of his flagship policies, but my point is that he is one person in a much larger process. Do you disagree?
No competition, I was asking what the difference between the two were. You seemed to have no problem stating your opinion when the question was directed at someone else, so I wanted to give you a platform to continue with your thoughts, feelings, and opinions on that subject to expand the discussion. But like you said, 'I don't really care though'.
I remember having these kinds of arguments in 2015.
Cool story bro.
