it is over a year before midterms and several before the presidential election, there is no reason to believe this will matter.
Seven years of railing against Obamacare worked. Because everyone in the US needs health care and putting the blame the other side is one of the most successful techniques in politics.
No it isn't. the most successful technique is giving yourself a reason to vote for you. people wanted obamacare gone because their premiums kept going up - and the GOP said "we will get rid of obamacare" while the democrats said "we like obamacare". if the dems ran on universal healthcare then they would have been making a case to improve things, rather than saying "everything is fine". I know many people who voted for Trump literally just because Hillary was promising to be basically Obama and while they don't know the problems with society, they know something needed to change. regular people do not care about policy details or nuance, they just want to know you wanna try to change things for the better. blaming the other side matters for like 3% of the wishy washy voters, but there is a good 50+% of voters who don't vote at all that could easily be convinced to if you give them some reason to do so. if Hillary inspired people to believe in hope and change like Obama, and got the same % of young folks and minorities out to vote, she would be pres. Instead she ran on staying the course. Democrats will never win as long as they try to win over right wing voters instead of gaining the support of non-voters and third party voters.
btw after obamacare is gutted essentially the only part of obamas legacy that remains is increased surveillance state, increasing military presence in the middle east and vastly increasing drone strikes. incremental change is bullshit, and neoliberal centrism is the death of america because it buys into right wing poltiics so hard it has doomed us all.
Republicans ran on "we're gonna get rid of it and give you something better."
They're gonna get rid of it and give them something worse. A majority don't like what they're doing and that's gonna hurt them. ---
