      It’s a core DNC stance. They tried to pass it the moment they had supermajority with caucusing Ind for 72 days in 2013, but the Ind betrayed us and we lost it by 1 vote in the senate. Instead we got the medicaid expansion and CHIP renewals which support 79 Million Americans currently.

      The fact that the GOP is currently trying to gut it is even more proof that this is a clear partisan issue.

      If people voted for Universal Healthcare then we would have it. But they don’t vote for it.

          Democrats. The DNC stands for the Democratic National Committee, they’re one of the nations two core political parties.

            I know what the DNC is. I’m asking who we specifically could have elected that would have gotten us universal healthcare. It wasn’t even on the platform agenda for 2024.

              Any Democrat is better than any Republican.

                Yes, but I’m asking you to back up your argument:

                Then the murderers would be the voters who consistently choose this system.

                Then who should the voters have chosen? We’ve had many Democrats, but no universal healthcare. It’s not even part of their platform. Yes, they’re better than the Republicans by a country mile, but you said the voters chose this system, so who could we have voted for?

                  No, you asked me who to vote for to get the stances you pretend to hold, and I told you.

                    You said the Democrats, and I told you we’ve elected loads of Democrats and obviously do not have universal healthcare. You’ve also failed to mention a single Democrat we could have elected to get universal healthcare. Can you provide any justification for your claim that it’s the voters’ fault that we’re in this mess?
