sah_24: Both teams red and blue fucked us on that ... there is literally 0 difference
Uh... Not quite. The Dems lead by Obama passed Dodd-Frank, which the GOP is working tooth-and-nail to dismantle.
But looking forward, there are several huge issues where the Dems differ significantly from the GOP. And Progressives like AOC are leading the charge to make the difference on a key issue many ordinary voters care about
: Health insurance reform.
Why? Progressives know that a strong majority of ordinary voters would welcome Medicare-for-All. And recent polling show that even majority of *Republican* voters, albeit a slim majority, now would, too,
The GOP is deadset against it, while the Dems are currently internally battling over this issue because the major donors of the establishment Dems also don’t want it. But as Progessives like AOC gain ground within the party by upsetting establishment Dems in primaries, and making inroads in currently red congressional districts, the Dem Party will come around to making Medicare-for-All a winning issue to run on.
And that time may be sooner than many pundits have predicted, especially when extensive research funded by the Koch brothers that was meant to discredit it has recently shown that it would overall save a MASSIVE amount of money, potentially even more than what Bernie Sanders had been claiming.
