I feel like I have Obamacare repeal PTSD.
Not snark.
I have trouble sleeping at night whenever the GOP starts stirring up the repeal shit again. I am not likely to lose my coverage, but I get really stressed out about the millions who will lose their coverage. I cant sleep and I end up looking online for some hope that they will be stopped again. This is such an unhealthy way to run a government. People are not gonna be at their best when they have to stress out for months about losing their health care.
Why should Obama care: he did his job. But, Democrats are to blame for not showing up in the numbers requisite in 2016; instead, the Republicans have a juggernaut.
Not aggravating - it’s disgusting. Misguided. Petty. Dangerous. Sick. Heartless.
But I get the Presiden’t point here. You’d think the Republicans would have better things to do than revisit this over and over instead of just trying to make the ACA better, but I guess they don’t. After all, President Obama along with Democrats spent the last 7 years fixing the economy and bringing back jobs so now Repubs really have nothing to do except twiddle their thumbs and maybe name post offices.
The GOP’s “job” is to redistribute wealth upward and lie to the rubes, using tribal warfare and fear of The Other to get reelected, and cheat and gerrymander and suppress the vote. So, sadly, the GOP is doing its job. Sadder still that such a wide swath of the population is filled with brain dead, malignant assholes that ensures they keep getting elected.
We need you! … our nation turns its weary eyes to you…
There has been plenty written about why Clinton didn’t win. Some of it may be very valid. But I think it helps to remember that Donald Trump won against a field of 16 other republicans. Dems staying home didn’t make Trump win the GOP nomination. I am still at a loss for explaining how so many millions of people could vote for someone with no governmental service experience for president. He was not only unqualified, he was untested. Yet millions of people voted for him. Would they hire someone with no experience or track record to be CEO of the company they work for? Why did they vote for Trump? I’ve heard all of the reasons but it still doesn’t make much sense. Unless they were hypnotized by a very slick propaganda attack.
No government experience was the least of the problems
