The fuck are you talking about? First of all, primaries exist. Secondly, with only a few notable exceptions, Democrats favor single-payer. The original ACA was a government healthcare bill with a private option but Joe Lieberman was the holdout and gutted it. Stating otherwise is intellectually dishonest and deliberately ignorant, or at worst a malicious rewrite of history.
I mean, the electorate keeps voting for people who won’t pass health care reform so… Yes?
worse, we vote for healthcare reforms that would take us back to when no one poor got any care at all. we elected our own killers
Those people are the only options on the ballot though. We can’t vote for something that’s not an option

In the last primary who was calling for a switch to a single payer healthcare system? None of the candidates were talking about that.
Joe Liberman left office in 2013. That was 11 years ago.
What the fuck are you talking about about?
I’m pretty sure they meant Joe Manchin.
The star if the rotating villian game.
It was a private system with a public option, but 6 of 1, half a dozen of the other I guess.
We had that option in 2016 but nobody votes in the fucking primaries.
And the party did everything they could to screw him over.
Not only that , but voting for the people who are promising to make it even worse.
Propaganda told them to.
