Democrats 24 years ago we're trying to pass comprehensive medical coverage. Republicans said it should be up to the employer. Now the right say that no one is entitled to any compensation or benefits without struggle. Dems today argue that medical coverage must be tied to employment or else welfare will spike. The Dems are actively using the strategy of a pre-millenium American right wing. Fuck, go find anything Newt Gingrich has to say on the topic during the Clinton years and show me how it's different from Josh Shapiro or pre-VP Harris in 2016.
You have no idea what you're talking about.
No they weren't.
Expanding Medicaid to welfare and age 55+ is not universal healthcare.

The 2010 ACA is far more comprehensive than the Democrat platform from 2000.
You are imagining a past Democratic party that never existed. Back in 2007, Obama was against gay marriage. Before him Clinton was, "Don't ask, don't tell- or you'll be removed from service." It's another example of how Democrats have moved left.
Democrats are farther left than they were 25 years ago. You hold Democrats to an ideal that never existed to rationalize your letting Trump win.
