Depends on your point of view. At the very least he betrayed the republican party line and ruined their plans.

I mean if you believe reddit, the ACA is saint-life and republicans are devil-like, and McCain is now a legend despite his dodgy voting record. None of the political string pulling or nuance in the bill is being recognised in that rhetoric. It's just "ACA is good because it's healthcare, republicans are evil because they want to repeal it". Overly simplistic but fun to think about.

At this point I'm just enjoying the complete pantomime that is your political climate.

You have to be a fucking idiot if you don't think the skinny repeal was a terrible thing.

I read some reddit post that went into detail about what actually happened. Short version:

Reconciliation is only permitted on one bill a year, by saying "yes" to MTP, McCain knew that he'd start that proceeding. He also voted yes to the BCRA presumably because he knew it would fail and lull McConnell and the rest into thinking he was with them. Then, at the perfect moment, he flips on the one bill that could actually pass.

This was thought out and a brilliant plan. Republicans can't touch healthcare for the rest of the year because it requires 60 votes now.


What a twist! Did M. Night script that?

The deepstate globalist shills got to McCain. I have it on good authority that when he was in the hospital the deepstate implanted a mind control device and forced him to vote against the repeal. I can't reveal my sources but they are very big.


Would you say the sources are......huuuuuuuuge?

I wonder what kind of reddit you're reading because everyone in r/politics still thinks McCain is a piece of shit.

"LIBERALS DRUGGED JUSTICE ROBERTS" was the right wing excuse for why the ACA was upheld in SCOTUS.

I haven't read anything in /r/politics since mid 2016 election when I realised it was a propaganda sub and not a news or discussion sub. This might have been from /r/news or /r/worldnews, which are both not great but at least not as awful as /r/poltiics.

Aren't you the one who thinks /r/politics is just as bad, if not worse than, as the_donald?


I definitely think they're comparable in terms of actual substance (or lack of actual substance), although /r/politics at least pretends it's a place for grownups.

What I would have said in the past is that - on the other hand, the_donald is crystal clear about where it's allegiances lie, whereas /r/politics paints itself as an impartial news aggregator. It just so happens that all of that news has such a left slated bias it would make even The Guardian blush.

Wait haven't you heard, the_donald is the bastion of free speech on the internet. That's why you can't downvote and you have to subscribe in order to comment, but keep it pro-right or get banned.
