    Anything other than this would’ve had an impact on people’s lives. They don’t need universal healthcare. They need something.

    Your comment is a prime example of the nirvana fallacy.

      this session has been a dud from the start.

      a split congress isn’t gonna get much of anything worthwhile done, especially not this late in a session… and extra-especially-not with the ultra hyper-partisanship exhibited by the ‘modern’ republicant party since at least the 1990s.

      want something done? something awesome and good? help get democrats and progressives 75%+ of each chamber of congress, plus 38+ state legislatures.

        Republicans get large chunks of what they want without a majority like that in Congress on a regular basis. If they can do it so could Democrats. They choose not to. There’s no shortage of convenient scapegoats but there is a massive shortage of meaningful action.

          My dude, they couldn’t even repeal Obamacare.

          Dems get blasted for not doing enough. Republicans get praise for just stopping things, half of which weren’t happening anyway

          Thanks, Republicans for another decade without letting the Dems take our guns. Fuck the Dems for not passing some very basic gun control legislation.

      Healthcare for some none, small American flags for others!
