They won't try lol. The Harris campaign made it quite clear that it wasn't part of their platform. The Clinton campaign argued against it. The Biden campaign said something about a public option that wasn't mentioned again after the election. The Dems did their best to stop any momentum Sanders had when he campaigned on single-payer.
They don't want to do it.
Maybe the DNC of 20 years ago wanted it, but you're only fooling yourself if you think they want it now.
Which party advocated for universal healthcare in the 2024 election? Sure wasn't the Democrats.
I'm just wondering where all this enthusiasm and energy was when it came to trying to make sure the other bad guy didn't get elected.
Probably because around 99% of the people using Lemmy already know that Trump is worse, so complaining about it feels irrelevant and like a waste of time. What does it accomplish when everyone already agrees?
When people here complain about the amount of Biden-bashing from leftists, now that actually accomplishes something. What that does is give people who are debating between voting blue, voting third party, or not voting at all (and there are a lot of those people around here) the impression that dedicated Democrat voters don't care what Democrats do as long as Trump does something worse. This promotes the idea that "both sides are the same" and discourages people from voting blue.
It's just another reason for them to crucify him.
It's not too much to ask that the POTUS considers the details of actions they take before taking them. Hell, this is one of the many criticisms people correctly make of Trump. It's also not too much to expect other politicians take their jobs more seriously than Trump does, or for other politicians to be better than Trump in general (especially when that is literally all that they promise us).
You are correct, it's clear he doesn't care. It's just a shame that the mask-off, nothing to lose Biden still bends over backwards to help Israel commit genocide, commutes this sentence in particular, and pardons his own son while doing nothing that the average American could consider helpful. Mask-off Biden really sucks.
No, they're a mystery and we'll never know their identity so we should stop trying to find out.
This is really not helping with the "no personal accomplishments" observation I made earlier. How typical. How boring.
51% in an election with very low turnout is hardly a "landslide". When you brag about something like this, it just shows people that you have to glom onto something other people did because you have no accomplishments of your own.
Ok. What has he done in his lame duck period, or expressed intention to do, that helps Americans? So far I've seen him double down on helping Israel commit genocide and I've seen him pardon his son. I'm happy to be convinced otherwise but I'm sure not seeing it now.
If you genuinely think that then you haven't been reading my comments.
Ah, yes, so we've gone from insisting that Dems support something they will openly tell you they oppose, to pure scolding. This didn't work a month or so ago, I don't know why you'd expect it to work now. I'd love to support Dems. They need to make it a worthwhile effort.
