    How often do you create straw men to argue with?

    If you want to believe Obama worked with the Heritage Foundation to create the ACA, that’s cool.

    Well, I guess that answers that.

    If you want to use a quote taken completely out of context,

    I’d argue that it wasn’t taken out of context at all but, even if it were, that would be better than making an argument up for you then storming off. If you don’t want to have a conversation, then don’t insert yourself in one.

    I’m going to assume you’re trolling

    You do that a lot? (Yeah, I guess that one is trolling but you really worked hard for it.)

    Expecting Democrats to beat Republicans by being the lesser of two evils, or by trying to work with Republicans hasn’t worked since the 90s. There is a reason that Republicans have taken over as the “party of the working class” and the party of Gen Z. The Republicans might lie constantly, but at least they talk to people instead of talking past them. Democrats forgot their core constituencies existed, so those constituencies forgot about them. The path out of this mess isn’t to shake our heads and think “sure is a shame more people didn’t vote Democrat”, it’s to push Democrats to lead with a vision that wakes people up and gets them excited to build a better country.

    I’m happy to leave it at that.
