It was Hillary Clinton during the 2008 primary that actually ran on a public option.

Liar. Obama ran on a public option and no individual mandate. Clinton ran on no public option and an individual mandate.

Centrists are allergic to telling the truth.

I looked it up and you are right, it was on his website he just didn’t openly push it as much. I remembered a speech he specifically said he did not run on the public option. 17 years ago, I went from memory, my bad. I was actually supporting Obama over Hillary back then. Not sure why that immediately made me a centrist liar. You seem kind of intense.
