If they want to protect LGBT people why didn't they prevent discrimination while it was possible? Same with healthcare for all? Same with taxes on wealthy of free education? And I find it even more laughable if you are trying to admit to being a Zionist as you clearly support them. You could still do those tiny drops in the ocean while making actual change. And guess what? They haven't made that actual change.
They couldn't have passed healthcare for all because they didn't have the votes. Remember, they needed 60. So they compromised and moved in the right direction. Also, in 2009 there wasn't such an open hate for the LGBTQ community. States were legalizing gay marriage, and the defense of marriage act was overturned eventually also. It's only the last few years that the hate rhetoric has been turned up. A lot of things changed for a lot of people. And they did raise taxes. Guess what was undone in 2016 by the Republicans who are so the same as the democrats. You're unwilling to see it because you're afraid of admitting you're wrong regardless of how many times I've proven it. All you can do is scream the word Zionist over and over like a play-acting intellectual in between bouts of being demonstrably wrong
Would you explain what they did to get the votes for the Obamacare act? Almost like they still had the votes. Dems have had control but haven't done anything. If you think there wasn't open hate for LGBT people in 2011, I don't know what to say. You obviously haven't looked into this at all. In fact, the only proof was that the Dems did nothing. You say yourself that the Republicans undid it but yet it doesn't appear to me that anything was done to ensure that the Republicans could not have been elected
Ultimately to get the votes for Obamacare they agreed on a mandate that required people to have health insurance, but part of the negotiation was there could be no public option and they would have to purchase from a private insurance company but the insurance companies could not have exceptions for pre-existing conditions and could not have a maximum lifetime payout. That last sentence is what made it all worth it. And while there were people hostile to LGBTQ people, it was not like it is now. I find it amazing that everytime I come with receipts you just claim that I have nothing, but have offered zero counterpoints.
I'm going to quit responding. I'm done having a conversation with someone who supports genocidal Zionists.
Yeah. That's it. Not because I proved your nonsense wrong every step of the way. Whatever makes you feel better.
