    The public option was killed when we had a supermajority.

    There are always enough Manchins.

      We had the slimmest of supermajorities for like four months, still passed health care legislation that saved countless lives and is the biggest advancement towards universal health care in our lives. You are literally complaining that everything isn’t perfect all the time, so why bother.

      Also, conspiracy theories are religion for people who think they’re too cool for religion, but are truly too stupid/cowardly to face reality. Conspiracy theories are simple and make the world make sense. Reality is complicated and difficult.

        It’s not a conspiracy theory to say that centrists lie to get elected then go back on their word.

        The ACA has been a disappointment to everyone but the insurance industry and to centrists who are just happy that it was limited to what Clinton ran on.
