The Affordable Care Act fell far short of being what we really needed, where millions still suffer with unaffordable premiums and worthless coverage. What we need is universal healthcare.
Joe Manchin wasn’t a god. They could have dealt with him if the political will existed, just like they could have dealt with Joe Lieberman back in 2009. Mobilize the people against him, Go after his financial supporters, go after his friends and family, make his life a living hell for defying the will of the Party and the People.
But you know what? Raising hell against Republicans is possible too - it’s possible to organize against them no matter which party they’re in. Go after them in their districts, go after their financial backers, go after the special interests that support them, go after the people that vote Republican, friends and family, I don’t fucking care, whatever it takes. Make them suffer our political wrath and they’ll fall in line.

But Democrats will never do something like that
Or they could have bought a single Republican…
That probably wouldn’t work. They’d be outbid.
