I think the difference between us is that I think the Democrats can at best accomplish half measures that don’t fix the fundamental structure of the system. The ACA hands more power and money to insurance companies, it doesn’t fix the fundamental problem. The Democrats support of Israel is “waning” but that hasn’t really altered anything on the ground or even stopped the money from flowing.
Republicans have pulled this back and replaced it with threats and military force.
You’re acting like Obama didn’t endorse more drone strikes than any president in history.
Like sure they are “technically” better but not in any of the ways that matter.
Half measures add up if you keep doing them. If you go half way 3 times you are 87.5% of the way there. You know what I mean?
I don’t think we should refuse to help people unless we fix the underlying problem. It’s not like we should have waited to end slavery until we eliminated racism, right? Expanding healthcare to another 50-60 million makes a hell of a lot of difference to those people. I would say that is better “in a way that matters”.

That we know of. Trump stopped reporting the numbers, so I wouldn’t bet on that record holding.
