You are correct. The ACA was not good enough. We could have healthcare for all, but instead we got giant handouts to Health Insurance companies. Once again, Obama himself said that he was basically an old-school Republican. It seems pretty logical to me that leftists don't want right wing politicians.

If being a leftist loses elections, how come the aforementioned politicans campaign on leftist policies, then abandon them? It seems like the entire point of their strategy is to appear leftist, then suddenly run to the right once they get elected. That strategy only works if leftists bring in the votes.

If you keep ignoring my points about how badly Trump had to be for Biden to win, then no, you won't ever really understand what I'm saying. But if you actually engage with what I said, that changes things.

Biden did half-ass green energy. I applaud him for that, while saying it was still nearly not good enough. Biden did less than the bare minimum that he campaigned on for debt relief. Yes, I don't think that is good enough.

A left candidate would not have done more drilling for oil than first term trump. A left candidate would have eliminated the student-debt system altogether. A candidate that leftists would vote for would not have deported massive amounts of people, while bailing out his rich friends, and bombing children.

Biden ran on a lot of those things, and as he abandoned them, his approval rating tanked. Weird, how that works.

You are correct, that your examples of right-wing politicians doing minorly leftist policy aren't good enough. I don't know why you think that is an argumentative win.

I haven't shut out anything. I keep bringing up points, and you keep saying "n n n not good enough", as though it's an actual argument.

*Rereading my prior comment, it was clear. You're either illiterate or trolling.

Says the person who doesn't address my points, and keeps saying the same thing despite multiple people giving examples of why they are incorrect.
