Can we stop putting AOC and Sanders as Democrats please. At least these two are vocal.

[–] Cliff@lemmy.world 42 points 1 month ago

Sanders is not even a member of the Democratic Party.

Democrats are literally controlled-opposition

AOC is progressive, not a neoliberal. Saying liberals want universal healthcare is a straight up LIE

[–] Quadhammer@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Neoliberals are not typically liberals. You can be a progressive liberal

No shit. I am replying to the meme which implies democrats want universal healthcare - they dont.

[–] rational_lib@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

I think the confusion is that it actually implies AOC, who is a Democrat, wants universal healthcare - she does.

You worded it strangely. Liberals and aoc want uhc

If liberals actually wanted uhc we'd have it by now. Instead they neutered Medicare/Medicaid because "if were nice to the republicans maybe they'll be nice to us when theyre in power". now look where we are.

Americans need to stop saying the Democrats want universal healthcare. They don't and they've made that clear numerous times.

You are awsome

Obamacare, the multiple times in 2016, 2020, and 2024 when they were deciding on a platform and universal healthcare never made the cut. They've had plenty of opportunities to push it and they never do.

That's because you're political system is broken by lobbying. Fix that and you might start to see both parties make decisions for the people instead of the corporation's and billionaires that give them both insane amounts of money. Money they need to stay elected.
