The perpetual advice to Democrats is that moving rightward will solve all their problems. But look where the party is at the moment: already embracing Republican affect and policies, yet still losing.
DNC haven’t had more than 48 senators in ten years and haven’t had supermajority since a 60 day period after 2010 only if you count independent caucus otherwise not since 1979. Right now they have 45.
The DNC haven’t capitulated, they’ve wrung minor victories like blood from a fucking stone while not having the power to actually do anything aside from filibuster the worst of it all.
You think expanding healthcare to another 50 Million People, outlawing refusal of coverage based on pre-existing conditions, is right wing? AND THAT WAS WATERED DOWN VERSION WE NEEDED TO GET THE INDEPENDENTS ON BOARD. You’ve lost your damn mind.
We’ve had this conversation before. They literally used Romneycare as the base for the ACA. The biggest reason ACA is hated is the parts pulled from it. Also why gop can’t replace ACA because it’s already their solution
Excuse me, I asked if you thought expanding healthcare to 50 million people, outlawing refusal of coverage based on pre-existing conditions, is right wing?
There wouldn’t be terrible GOP bills if we could get people to support the DNC and remove those GOP from office.
There’s been multiple times the dems have capitulated in negotiations before the negotiations have started.
If there was no gop we’d still get terrible bills from the right democrats

It’s amazing how the only period you ever reference is when with a short super majority only managed to implement Romneycare.
Biden was a moderate, Obama started leaning progressive but quickly ran to be a moderate, both Clinton’s more on the right than moderate, etc.

When they’re still required to pay private insurance to be covered yes.
Well no wonder you’ve got everything so backwards, you think people getting healthcare is conservative.
