37. The ACA was in many ways a miracle.

Thu Nov 7, 2024, 01:47 PM

Yesterday

The problem was Obama pushed it through. This pissed them off to no ends. Which is why I felt he should have done more (public option etc).

Obama's lack of tradition is why he is bumped down for me. I respect and am grateful for what he did, don't get me wrong, but it made people mad as fuck. And now look where we are.

Biden is and was a great leader.
