    Democrats tried to fix it a bunch of times. Citizens United kept lobbying alive, Public Option healthcare (which would have made it almost imposible for private healthcare to compete) lost by 1 independent senator, Republicans keep getting elected to write the tax laws as they expire.

    It’s not from lack of trying by the DNC.

      No, they really didn’t. “Public option healthcare” barely scratches the surface of the reforms that were needed, and hardly any Democrats except Elizabeth Warren were even trying to get them done. Hell, the main reason Bernie Sanders is an independent is that Democrats refuse to support those economic reforms!

      So no. The Democrats didn’t try to fix shit. Not really, not in the way it needed to get fixed.

        Oh yeah? Which parts of it were insufficient?

        Kind of weird for you to support needed reforms while opposing individual reforms.
