The ACA fails to provide healthcare access to the most vulnerable and disenfranchised groups. It's an epic failure and capitist nightmare.

Biden didn't attempt to forgive student loan debt. If you dig just a bit, you'll find it was all theater. He even worsened the situation for many. The only people he's helped are select groups of the "right" people.

He has also expanded the reach of ICE, continued Trump's wall, and expressed support for the genocidal state of Israel.

I'm not saying Republicans aren't worse, but it's foolish to try to silence leftists and progressives when we point out how deeply problematic all of this is.

The ACA was not what Democrats were looking to pass originally. It was a compromise reached with idiot republicans (who mostly wanted no reform at all) in the context of an absolutely massive propaganda and lobbying effort from insurance and pharmaceutical companies.

The ACA could have been potentially a great law, despite being based on RomneyCare... until Joe Lieberman stripped out the Public Option that would have slowly undermined the corporate insurance industry by being cheaper, and was meant to be a path to Universal Healthcare.

Fucking Blue Dog Democrats, they may as well be Republicans.

biden was blocked from doing anything on sweeping blanket forgiveness of loan debt by the supreme court but that hasn't stopped him from forgiving thousands of dollars of it
