Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I forget which Behind the Bastards episode first put me on to this but man, there's such a long history of people in the US killing or trying to kill good projects because it helps the "wrong" people
🎵it's the American waaaaay🎵
tbf i would expect a progressive party to vote against a policy that 81% of their constituents didn’t agree with
Likely the main reason this is rising is because it's no longer a propaganda talking point. Because Trump has so many other that are more attention-grabbing.
I believe that we've flipped and propaganda now has greater weight on public opinion than factual reporting. And I think this rebound shows some data of the effect of propaganda, evidenced by factual reality (people like having healthcare more than not, shockingly) creeping to fill the space left by receding propaganda.
We'll never have a scientifically-sound study that clearly measures the poll effects of propaganda because of definitional and exposure unreliability. So inferential data like this is fascinating.
Why can't we have some benign entity propagandize objective reality and data-backed solutions for the common good?? Is that not the obvious solution?
Alt-right brain rot is terminal now.
That's the only practical solution. Education would have been the answer, but that ship has sailed.
Some people believe “Trump fixed it,” because he said that.
(He didn’t. He actually made it harder to enroll.)
He made it harder to enroll for those people. Less people on the Obamacare, more for the right people
These people don't know what's good for them. Listen to terrible sources. And so we all suffer. I wish I could separate from them.
keep obama's name out of it and it would poll higher.
They're the ones who gave it that name.
so they know what they're supposed to hate.
a poll asking about 'affordable care act' only, with no mention of 'obamacare' will get significantly different responses than one that does reference president obama.
That really shows just how childish the Republican base is. Liberals aren’t lying when they say these people only listen to buzzwords.
It should forever be referenced as “The ACA (Obamacare)”. Never let anyone forget what they did.
So, Romneycare?
This^
A lot of polling found support for the ACA jumped when it was referred to by its actual name and not OBamacare
But it would still be a shitty Republican substitute for M4A
As they vote for repealing Obamacare.
Well, it's still only 19 percent approval. This country is so messed up.
Thanks Obama, for real though I'm on board with repeal and replace, cause this aint shit.
But I'm not aboard with "Repeal and bring back pre-existing conditions!", but that seems to be all the Greedy Old Pricks have got up their sleeves.
People forget what the originally Obamacare was supposed to be. Republicans are the ones who watered it down. If they replace it, it will be with nothing.
It was originally a Republican plan and they lack object permanence so I'm not surprised
It's gonna be gone right? Are there any senators expected to want to keep it?
At least 12 year high**********
We're so lucky Trump saved it from....
McCain saved it
