Of thing to say. Democrats fought FOR the public option.
Why would they brag about killing something that they tried to create?

If you take the wing of the party that demands unquestioning support for genocide at their word, sure.
I don’t give the genocide wing the benefit of the doubt. The idea from the outset was to kill the public option with just enough no votes.

I don’t have to take any wing at they’re word. I just have to look at their votes. Lieberman is the ire of your disdain. They needed 60 votes. They “only” had 59.

It’s always hilarious watching the supporters of the wing that killed the public option pretendinv that Lieberman was hhe only one.
Bdn Nelson also blocked the public option so people could go bankrupt and die to pad donors’ wallets.
And let’s not pretend that Lieberman wasn’t democrats’ VP candidate in 2000.
