The democrats had the house, senate, and presidency for 4+ years. Where is that Healthcare?
Spoiler: Both sides are bad, they both get paid off. Its just that one side is really fucking honest with you right now ... to the point where they commit crimes in public because no one will do anything about it.
Cool observation. Here's a smiley face sticker and a lollipop.
Here's another observation.
Both sides are NOT the same.
So, in a system where you WILL get one or the other for the foreseeable future, what would you consider to be the intelligent thing to do?
Also, you are wrong. Democrats haven't held a trifecta for 4+ years since the 1960s. In recent memory their control has only lasted 2-3 years at a time, and you've also failed to take into account that many things require a supermajority in Congress to enact and Dem's total control has typically been by a very thin margin.
Key Periods of Unified Democratic Control (White House + Senate + House):
2021–2023 (117th Congress): President Joe Biden, with narrow House and Senate majorities.
2009–2011 (111th Congress): President Barack Obama, passing the Affordable Care Act.
1993–1995 (103rd Congress): President Bill Clinton’s first two years.
1961–1969 (87th–90th Congresses): Presidents John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson.
1933–1947 (73rd–79th Congresses): President Franklin D. Roosevelt and the start of Truman’s term.
When I was young and broke Obama, during one of those windows of control, gave me affordable healthcare when I had none and he had to fight tooth and nail with Republicans to get it.
You really need to do your homework before you post things on the internet that other people who don't do their homework will just accept as fact. It really doesn't help our situation.
And we should thank Trump for opening eyes of so many dumb people that thought otherwise. It had to get really bad before we see any changes. Though I see in comments many are still sucking off dems
Yes, being insane for Democrats is almost (but not really) as bad as being MAGA.
What years where these pray tell? I guess if you don't mean "4+ consecutive years" but that would be silly wouldn't it?
Also, why did you fail to mention the Supreme Court? Interesting.
No one said consecutive. That is rarely possible with the usual midterm losses. Biden had 2 and Obama had 2.
Lol ok
They're not the other side that this post is talking about.
ROFLOL yeah it’s the Democrats fault we don’t have national healthcare. tHeY hAd foUR YeaRS WherE is It?? Smeared all over the soles of the Republicans shoes. That’s where it is.
