    If you go to Blue sky, you’ll see a bunch of people who don’t understand it took a lot of bobbitting to get a deal the GoP couldn’t fuck with, and it was very basic and only helped the poorest Americans. It was the barest start of many things to come, which didn’t.

    It’s important to keep that mind-boggling amount of compromise in mind when looking backward, because that prez tried staying within and respecting the government system. This is what it was before absolutely shitting on the three branches became the norm.

      Bullshit. It was passed without Republican support. Negotiations were smoke and mirrors because they all were taking big healthcare money.
