Ah, memories, memories!

I remember the first time I heard that argument - it was during the Reagan administration.

And it worked on me then.

But you know, 35 years of hearing, "It's an emergency so we have to rally around this right-wing Democrat" have left people apathetic and cynical.

Americans keep getting promised change, but the change is uniformly bad every time.

Eight years of Obama didn't reverse even one tiny bit of that. The ACA was a tiny bit better than nothing, but a smaller percentage of Americans are insured today than when Obama took office, and Americans still have by far the most expensive healthcare in the world, with the worst outcomes in the developed world.

And now it really is acute, but the battle is probably already lost.

Obama and Bill Clinton before him inexplicably refused to address the gross voter suppression and relentless gerrymandering which are now the main feature of any election and have brought 3 Republican terms in a row where the President lost the popular vote.

Still, you should get out and vote for the Democratic candidate. The worst desperately needs Trump gone.
