In reply to the discussion: FUCK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT! [View all]Cali_Democrat
(30,439 posts)11. I'm sure the OP is part two
I'm really glad the OP brought up the fact that Grayson, Sanders and Kucinich supported the bill. If Warren was in Congress at the time, no doubt she too would have supported it.
Some PROGRESS is better than none. Is the ACA perfect? No, but it does represent PROGRESS and millions of people are better off because of it.
If we listened to some of the self-proclaimed progressives who love to stroke their own egos from behind a keyboard, there would be no progress and millions of Americans would have remained uninsured.
Never listen to them.

You must not malign the President. It causes fear, anger, hate and the vapors.

A tax is still a mandate, by definition. You support a mandate whether you want to admit it or not.
