Because there wasn't support for it. Sure it has pretty broad public support. But our elected officials don't. It's not a bullshit excuse. It sucks but it's true. And acting like a child certainly won't fix it.

Those elected officials were Democrats. You're just proving my point. When the power is out of their hands you're like "Omg they want to and if you just vote harder they'll totally do it!" but then when the power is in their hands you just shrug and say "They didn't support it."

Yes, I know they don't support it. That's why I'm not voting for them.

And that's why they aren't voting for it. No one is proving your point. And no it's not just Democrats. Whatever conspiracy pit you frequent, you need to get out.

Are you a bot? It seems like you just lost the entire context of the conversation. Let me remind you.

Me:

We don’t have medicare for all or something similar because Democrats refused to make it happen during Obama’s term.

You:

Because there wasn’t support for it.

Me:

Yes, I know they don’t support it. That’s why I’m not voting for them.

You:

And no it’s not just Democrats.

Are you following along now Siri?

Reading comprehension, you don't have it. Bye Felecia.

Buddy, I just spelled it out for you: We don’t have medicare for all or something similar because Democrats refused to make it happen during Obama’s term. This was the Democrats fault.
