    Democrats don’t want Medicare for All anymore than Republicans do. So it’s not surprising that they dropped benefits as quickly as possible before people got used to them.

        In context of Medicare for All … yes: BoTh SiDeS.

        There are differences between both political parties. But on healthcare issues, both parties are very protective of insurance company interests. To pretend otherwise is incredibly immature.

          Believing republican propaganda is incredibly immature.

                Accurately pointing out what is the same and what is different across Republicans and Democrats is absolutely constructive. Start with the facts, don’t just disregard the facts because they conflict with your theory about how noting any equivalency between both parties is GOP propaganda.

                That’s exactly the same kind of mindless allegiance in practice that GOP devotees are brainwashed with. If you’re so sucked up into some theory that you can’t acknowledge the faults in your own in-group, your perspective is next to useless. Politics calls for impartial analysis, not herd mentalities and division for its own sake.

                    Sure is, it’s just that you’re assuming anyone who points out an issue with Democrats is doing the latter…
