That's one of those general election issues where they only pull out of storage just before the general election. Like gay rights, abortion, wages. And fold them up neatly and stow them away until the next general election.

A place for for news, discussion, memes, and links criticizing capitalism and advancing viewpoints that challenge liberal capitalist ideology. That means any support for any liberal capitalist political party (like the Democrats) is strictly prohibited.
A zero-tolerance policy for bigotry of any kind. Failure to respect this will result in a ban.
RULES:
1 Understand the left starts at anti-capitalism.
2 No Trolling
3 No capitalist apologia, anti-socialism, or liberalism, liberalism is in direct conflict with the left. Support for capitalism or for the parties or ideologies that uphold it are not welcome or tolerated.
4 No imperialism, conservatism, reactionism or Zionism, lessor evil rhetoric. Dismissing 3rd party votes or 'wasted votes on 3rd party' is lessor evil rhetoric.
5 No bigotry, no racism, sexism, antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or any type of prejudice.
6 Be civil in comments and no accusations of being a bot, 'paid by Putin,' Tankie, etc. This includes instance shaming.

Republicans as a party have absolutely no issue with the ACA, because it protects profits, and that's their entire goal. They give the illusion that they want to take it away from you so that liberals cling on to it even tighter, so they accept the stale bread crumbs they were given and never demand better.
You do remember in the first year of Trump's first term they had a vote to kill 'Obamacare' and only lost it at the last second when a sick and dying John McCain dragged his ass in to Senate to make the 51st No vote, right? Or last week were they refused to pass an extension on the rebates that make the ACA affordable?
