Do they expect gratitude? Obamacare hasn’t been a major piece of marketing in a long time, except when Republicans demand it be repealed.

Here's you touting it because Democrats haven't had any successes that have approached it in 15 years:

Polling showed that the farther left public option, called “death panels” by the right, was even less popular.

Congratulations on killing it for Republicans then. How'd that work out for the party? Oh yeah, Republicans still voted against you and you alienated the people who voted for you.

But at least you get to blame everyone to your left for the results of your party's greatest accomplishment: killing the public option.

I am not touting it. The specific claim we’re discussing is whether voting for democrats cause right leaning policies compared to voting for republicans. It didn’t. Nothing you’ve said has addressed this point.

It doesn't and I never said it did. But let's not pretend that it's preventing right leaning policies or putting left leaning policies in place.

Obamacare is a left leaning policy compared to what came before. So I’m not pretending anything. It is very bizarre to claim otherwise.
