> This doesn’t make any sense, because 99% of Dems have tried to increase access to healthcare, and 99.9% of Repubs have tried to reduce access to healthcare.
This is the problem. All conversations about policy lead to "it's the Republicans fault" or "it's the Democrats fault", never about the actual substance of the issue or any attempts to fix the underlying problems.
The fact that both parties think they're "winning the game" right now by shutting down the government is a joke.
I did point out the actual substance of the issue, Repubs don’t want to expand access to healthcare as it would require a wealth transfer, hence they have opposed all efforts.
The Dems (by and large) bring up bills to provide paid parental leave, increase minimum salaries for overtime exempt workers, fund education, increase access to healthcare, and here you are saying they don’t focus on the substance of the actual issues, whatever that means. Meanwhile, the only thing Repubs have done is cut taxes, and block all those efforts.

The fact that you would even bring up both parties when one has control of all 3 branches of government is a joke.
