This asshole fucked us all over and made sure we never had the single payer option on the ACA.
He sold us all out for the insurance companies. For that he can fuck right off into eternity.
This guy almost singlehandedly eliminated the public option for healthcare in this country.
For that he can get fucked.
No, HE DID. The dems needed his vote to pass the ACA, and he made them get rid of the single payer option.
He had help. Ben Nelson deserves as much blame as the Democratic Party’s vp nominee.
Dems are masters of “just needed this one ‘centrist’ vote” between their rank to be sure nothing progressive pass.
Yeah something the article bot (or perhaps the article irself, idk) failed to include.
Obits are usually written years before someone dies. What is included and not included is on purpose. Obit writer is a full time job for big papers. A good obit writer has a massive trove of them written about living folks. Its not (currently) a bot thing.
This fucker did so much damage to American democracy. I’m not one to celebrate anyone’s death, but I will not miss this asshole.
Note: I am Jewish, this man has never represented me or my religion.
I will always remember Joe Lieberman for his attempts to take away my health care and video games.
I had forgotten about his video game scaremongering! What a prick.
Sounds like the vote of Lemmy is rest in piss?
pretty much. he will not be missed.
I say this a lot, but I’ll do it again. We should always speak good of the dead.
Joe Lieberman is dead. Good.
This asshole destroyed the public option, then a few years later my life was destroyed by medical bankruptcy.
It is sad that he got to live a full life surrounded by loved ones. He deserved so much worse.
Rest in piss, you wont be missed.
Hope it’s warm down there buddy!
Centrists should read this thread to see how well they are regarded by history.
Hold back progress and call your obstruction “incrementalism” and you will have people celebrate your death.
No offense, but Lemmy /= history books. These are the same history books that laud Reagan
And the lesson centrists took from that is “be like Reagan.”
Which explains congress’ actions to prevent the rail strike.
So, anyways… what’s everyone doing tonight?
I’m surprised anyone cared about this post tbh. This comment just made me think about that lol.
Champagne by the bottle.
Thanks for the no healthcare Joe, you bastard.
I thought this might be on a post I made about Biden and I was gearing up for an argument lol. But nah, nothing to dispute there
Everybody’s talking about his role in the ACA and video games, but I am firmly of the belief that if Gore hadn’t picked him for VP he would have won the election. Having Lieberman on the ticket turned off enough people on the left.
Gore did win the election. He only didn’t get into office because a violent Republican coup (the “Brooks Brothers Riot”) forcibly stopped the votes from being counted.
I’m aware that Gore did, in fact, win the election. However, without the factors that mindbleach mentioned and, I think, Lieberman being on the ticket it would have taken the powers of Brooks Brothers, Banana Republic, and Forever 21 combined to overturn it.
Fuck Joe Lieberman.
I’d like to revive him and kill him again. Over and over. He has directly attacked my wife with his fucking single payer vote.
Best thing about Joe Lieberman is that his anti-video game crusade inspired the creation of “The Senator” for the Sega CD fighting game “Eternal Champions”.
Nah, the best thing about him is that he’s dead.
Good riddance
