Fucking THIS, people. You can moan all you want about the Dems not getting stuff done, but unless you acknowledge that, oh wait, they actually DO when they have a majority that ALLOWS them to do it, you're just adding to the static. Politicians still have to work within the political system they're a part of.
Obamacare aka Affordable Care Act was written by Newt Gingrich
Uh. No.

Well that's great, good for him. I mean that seriously. He also wrote a novel about the Civil War. Guess what that blueprint and his novel have in common?
I had an idea for reusable rockets when I was six. Where's my royalty check?
That's not great. It shows that Obama and the Dems are actually conservatives that want to prevent universal healthcare. If you read the article that is the main reason Gingrich came up with this in the first place.
Rofl pull the other one, dumbass
Obama is actually a conservative...this is almost as stupid as Jewish space lasers

Please stop, you're just embarrassing yourself
Hard to accept the "left" Dems are actually economically conservative. You'll get it some day too late.
"Both sides" is tired propaganda from 2016. Do better.
And how do they do that without a strong majority in the branches of government?? Magic?
Exactly what part of that do you consider to have the sole purpose of hurting someone's feelings? Cause that's what catty means. I think it was damn good for a Congress who's been hamstrung by gerrymandering, voter disenfranchisment, and voter apathy. You want those things to come to pass? Get Republicans out of office.
Has to be bots boosting his comment. Literally no one thinks the Dems are fierce after decades of failure to improve conditions of the poor.
