Have you forgotten how many votes we have in the Senate? Please, save your “blame the Republicans for this” rant for when we actually have a meaningful shot at filibustering without having to hold down every single vote like Susan Collins. The vast majority of Republicans are conservative, and most of the ones who aren’t are getting weeded out now in the primaries.
Congress passed Obamacare without a single Republican vote. This is a fact. And yet there are still people who look to blame the GOP first. Give credit where credit is due. Fight for ideological purity in the primaries, but then vote GOP in the general election.
I see your point. However, wasn’t it a lone republican that moved obamacare out of committee?
