44. We don't cater to corporations
Sat Jun 27, 2026, 02:32 AM

We actually got improvements in health care,. unlike progressives who haven't accomplished anything and won't. Please stop spreading this nonsense that universal heath care is some magic bullet. After we did just Hillary care and Obama care we lost 60 seats for each . They tried a single payer ballot initiative in liberal Oregon and it lost 78 to 21. One reason we lose, probably the main one is progressives do all they can to sabotage us. Lies about us catering to corporations is an example.

Centrists did tons of stuff during the last 20 years. Progressives accomplished nothing.
