Re: POTUS 45.35: Still Winning. Don't care if you're tired of winning.
Scoobs I appreciate your shtick as much as the next guy, but much like rufus, trix, and sometimes Kep claiming Dems never stood for anything until Bernie came along, yours is a falsehood that is damaging to the cause. Thus, it needs to be corrected.
First, the article points out something interesting but answers a question of mine, which is how could you repeal the individual mandate without 60 votes. The answer apparently is they didn't, they just reduced the fine/tax from $625 to $0. Meaning, elect Dems again and with a similar 51 Senate vote majority they can re-instate it through a budget recon bill. Next, the lawsuit is absurd and faces the same problem all ACA lawsuits do, which is a SCOTUS block with 5 justices who are intent on upholding the law.
However, if you continue to go around saying the entirety of the ACA has been repealed, even though that's a patently false statement of Trumpesque proportions, you are playing right into the hands of conservatives, just as much as when our resident Bernouts start claiming Obama was really a conservative who got nothing accomplished in 8 years. Consider that before your next rant please.
