So....as we all know, The republicans are already moving to repeal Obamacare. I don't have much to say here that you can't get in a million other places, but let's be honest, if you didn't think the republicans would try, I don't know what planet you've been living on for the last 6 years. They are radicals, and they must be stopped.
Unfortunately, the only force in the current two party system that can stop the republicans are the democrats, and the democrats are almost as bad as the republicans. Another vote recently was a vote on Bernie Sanders' proposal to import drugs cheaper from Canada to bring healthcare costs down. Several DEMOCRATS opposed it. You know, it's bad enough when the republicans are why we can't have nice things, but when the DEMOCRATS obstruct good legislation too, that's a freaking problem. This is the same mentality that got us Obamacare too, fyi. Obamacare could have been more progressive, but the more moderate democrats watered it down or threatened to torpedo the whole thing. So, republicans aren't the only obstacle to fixing healthcare, centrist dems are too.
And one of the big democrats mentioned who voted against this was none other than an early favorite to run in 2020, Cory Booker. To be fair, Booker CLAIMS that he voted against it because he did not trust Canada's safety standards, but honestly, my faith and good will toward these guys is nonexistent.They have obstructed the progressives too many times, on too many issues. After all, it's not like they couldn't just ensure only drugs otherwise available in the US could be imported or something.
I don't want to hear another darned word from Hillbots who say that Sanders never accomplishes anything. Maybe if the centrists would get the heck out of his way, he would. Kind of hard to do anything when the ideological sell outs on the democratic side stop things from getting done. Seriously though, who needs the republicans when these guys stop us from getting crap done too? And dems wonder why people think both parties are the same...
