Progressives say that Obama didn't fight hard for it, it was dropped at first opposition to the bill and Romneycare was adopted.
Some complained sure,but unlike Hillery and Biden in 2024 enough of us went out and voted for him in 2012.
Some? There was constant attacks including Obama's drone policies, not prosecuting bankers, extending the war in Afghanistan and the list went on. I was around those days to remember, progressives are never happy with the progress, they want sweet unworkable promises from Greenies and DSA who can't even win a local election. In other words, progressives always want to be told fantasies.
You are exaggerating the extent of progressive discontent with Obama.Obamas lows in Gallup was never as low as Biden,Trump,Reagan,Bush 2 etc.If he had lost that much progressive support he would have.If he had lost that much progressive support he would not have won a second term.
I understand quite well.So do millions of other democrats which is why Bidens approval numbers are lower than Trumps,Obamas and Clinton's.
