Reminder that an IND stopped the DNC from passing real healthcare reform in 2010

And suddenly we're not talking about the past 13 years now that it's convenient for you. Fine. The independent that made sure people went bankrupt and die for you was democrat enough to be Al Gore's running mate in 2000. He counted then but since we needed a villain to rotate in to make sure sick people die like you and all centrists demand, he's conveniently an independent. He also had the help of Ben Nelson, a Democrat. Congratulations on all the unnecessary death. Your portion of the caucus is justifiably proud of all the blood on your hands.

So for an encore, centrists supported genocide. You're just republicans who want people to pretend you're not.

To even compare the written legislations and vote records of the two parties is lunacy.
