No, you're not. You try to look past the sound-bites. That alone puts you above 80% of all voters, imo. Maybe 60% to be generous. Then you actually apply critical thinking as opposed to searching for confirmation bias. That elevates you to the top 10% of voters. You ain't basic fish.
You ain’t basic. You’re a smart dude.
As I said, no need to tilt at windmills. Changing the law is next to impossible on this, but states can choose to have their electoral votes pro rata. Simplest fix today.
Republicans didn’t vote for it because they wanted to make Obama a one term president. This has been well documented. Republicans strung the Obama administration and Senate Democrats along hoping to choke out the clock and kill chances of passing reform. This was deemed as key to preventing Obama a second term. Again, this has been well documented and is key to understanding why the ACA lacks certain provisions. The ACA/Obamacare was actually the Republican version of health care reform, put into practice by Gov Romney in Massachusetts. Meaning, Republcians would support it if it were proposed by politicians with Rs by their names. We see the same stuff happening right now under Biden, where Republcians who voted against infrastructure are taking credit in their districts for infrastructure investments.

I worked for the government in DC at the time, and even had the opportunity to present some ideas to Congress from my Department regarding certain proposed laws on benefit protections surrounding the PPACA. I was embroiled in this stuff and Obamacare and similar proposals made me realize how futile it was from the top down trying to make a difference (because both parties already had their positions set in stone) so I left shortly after.
Where did you disagree with anything I said? Thanks for essentially repeating my post. Not sure who the revisionist history comment was for.
But Fish! You forget! Trump is that hard working blue collar guy who’s fighting for the workin man! He’s not an out of touch elitist. He’s a true American who cares about the poor and forgotten communities and towns. He just wants to make America great again!Trump says he hopes economy crashes in next 12 months: ‘I don’t want to be Herbert Hoover’

Former President Trump said in an interview that aired Monday that he predicts the U.S. economy will crash and that he hopes it does so within the next year.
“We have an economy that’s so fragile, and the only reason it’s running now is it’s running off the fumes of what we did,” Trump said. “It’s just running off the fumes.”
Trump added: “And when there’s a crash — I hope it’s going to be during this next 12 months because I don’t want to be Herbert Hoover. The one president I just don’t want to be, Herbert Hoover.”
The U.S. economy, however, has defied economists’ predictions and closed the 2023 year with high marks on a wide range of criteria: Inflation was down, job growth remained high, and the unemployment rate stayed low.
The U.S. added 216,000 jobs in the final month of 2023 and kept the unemployment rate at 3.7 percent, far exceeding the expectations of economists. The annual inflation rate also dropped from 9.1 percent, a four-decade high, in June 2022 to 3.1 percent in November, according to the Labor Department.
“The American people did it,” Yellen said. “The American people go to work every day, participate in the labor market, form new businesses. But President Biden has tried to create incentives that give Americans the tools they need to help this economy grow.”
The Biden campaign responded to Trump’s comments by quoting Biden at a campaign event a few days earlier.
“President Biden three days ago: ‘Donald Trump’s campaign is about him. Not America. Not you,’” the statement read on X, formerly Twitter
So basically trump is rooting for America's economy to crash. He also admits that it's currently doing pretty well but takes the credit for that himself.
ALWAYS A DOUCHE. EVERY TIME

I'm sure Trump remembers the Hoover administration because that's how ****ing old he is.Trump says he hopes economy crashes in next 12 months: ‘I don’t want to be Herbert Hoover’

You've mentioned the community of ideas a few times. I'm sorry to tell you but that concept is dead. Studies have been done and false information, scandals, rage bait, lies travel farther, wider, deeper, and faster than the truth does on social media. Truth is at a massive tactical disadvantage and even when it gets there, the party is already over and everyone has gone home with a different partner than the truth. No condoms, no lube, every orifice is fair game. Many false news babies shall be conceived.
