When Obama was president and Democrats had a trifecta we were one vote away from universal healthcare. Yes, I'm serious. If we had even one more Democratic senator I truly believe we'd have it right now.

Give Democrats a powerful mandate by flipping every single red seat blue and I guarantee you we'll have much better healthcare. We can do it!

More Democrats in office means a shifted Overton window and a stronger mandate for change. That's why all the people who sit out the election because they think they are not getting enough are wrong.
