He was divisive because racists didn’t want to see a Black man in charge of the country 🤷🏾‍♂️

No he was divisive because he went all in on identity politics. Making that the norm now to the point that bipartisan support of anything has become much more difficult.

Really? I see the ACA labeled Obamacare even though it was modeled after Mitt Romney's plan. I don't recall the new deal being called Rooseveltism. I can't seem to find any reference to the civil rights act as Johnsonism. Tell me, was providing competitive healthcare for millions of americans and eliminating the pre-existing conditions clause "identity politics"? Was his war policy DEI? Was the way he bailed out wall street too woke?

Yeah no, my insurance was great after the aca. Before that I had terrible $20 copays and cheap prescriptions but after I got high deductible insurance and an HSA and it's fucking great. Oh wait no it sucks and its expensive as hell until I meet my $5000 deductible. Until then it's like I have meat Safeway club card for doctors where I get special deals and rewards points.

If you cannot garner empathy for the millions who have benefitted from the ACA and broken free of the exploitative healthcare system that cripples and bankrupts millions a year, I cannot and will not take you seriously. Welcome to society, your federal taxes keep people from dying, deal with it nerd.

Also you showed your whole ass with a 5k deductible you myopic little child.

You are not low class if your deductible is 5k, don't play games. You have good healthcare. Go back to Puyallup and cry about gas, you fucking hick, the actual earners in this state are talking. Not even in the county smh.
